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. Good point, my thought too. In addition if individual licences are tied to locations they have the starting basis to compile another database? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On mine this is not so it says area covered and says ……. any county in England above high water mark as long as occupier/landowners permission is given. So bit like open ticket on FAC I did put grid references on mine when applying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
