ShootingEgg Posted May 14, 2019 Report Share Posted May 14, 2019 Applied for two yesterday and have had one back this morning all okay, strange though that they ask you for the exact grid ref and address of the land, then it just says any county in England on the licence itself. so looks to not be restricted to the land put down???

kaunda Posted May 14, 2019 Report Share Posted May 14, 2019 Like others on here I have permission over several thousand acres and twenty something farms,do they seriously expect me to list each and every farm,with Post Code and Map Reference,and does this refer to the homestead,the office,the yard or the land,which is often miles from the farm itself ?

B725 Posted May 14, 2019 Report Share Posted May 14, 2019 Livestock as in the next couple of weeks there will be around 200 crow's, rooks and magpie trying to get into the cattle sheds after the food. They sheds cannot be sealed off and for the last two or three year's we have had a couple of 100 plus morning's thinning them out then it drops to around the 30 mark each time we go. Despite this the number's are still there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B725 Posted May 16, 2019 Report Share Posted May 16, 2019 No nothing as yet looks like I'm going to have to phone them, on the auto acknowledgement email there's no reference number either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oowee Posted May 16, 2019 Report Share Posted May 16, 2019 I applied for flora and fauna (19-02?) which I thought i needed for crops. The 19-03 I have agreed covers, crops, feed, and animal damage so in hindsight not sure i even need the other one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oowee Posted May 16, 2019 Report Share Posted May 16, 2019 (edited) No just the one but it does all I need. I was thinking I need the flora and fauna for crops (which was not returned) but reading the damage one I am covered. I made the point in the application that it's for cattle as much as sheep and piglets. The rooks are a major concern on two of the farms I shoot over, where they are harassing the cattle around the feed stations and causing the cattle to panic and fall. The area is too large to net and the farmer and I have tried scarers but noise is a problem again for the cattle.

lancer425 Posted May 16, 2019 Report Share Posted May 16, 2019 One aspect of this individual licence application sittuation is that those Applying for individual licences right now before we as in we the shooting comunity have a real licence back in place is the THEY government DEFRA NE whoever. Could use the fact that WE shooters are applying in droves foir these individual licences and there for in theory and by the fact some are applying the shooters of this country want the individual licence. We will know in the not too distant future, but what i will say here and now. IF we end up on individual licences i myself will lay that to a good % at those buying into this NE nonsense. And why i will wait for the outcome from DEFRA at this stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prospero Posted May 17, 2019 Report Share Posted May 17, 2019 I have applied for several under the preservation of public health and public safety banner to move on some herring Gull nests and eggs off roofs. I must have put in for 6 or 7 by now and I haven't heard anything and it's been over a week. Any comments? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I applied two weeks ago and not a thing from them, but they do state that if you need to shoot before you get your licence you can do so but you must email them before you start shooting.
