BUT, probably still knows more than his 'superiors' ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wyn Posted November 7, 2019 Report Share Posted November 7, 2019 (edited) You also need to be a bit careful with grazing licences. If someone is grazing cattle/sheep under the terms of a grazing licence they are not the occupier. Edited November 7, 2019 by wyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read the above It all depends on age of the lender if you are over 21 and provided you have written permission by the landowner to allow persons to shoot with you on there land you can lend your shotgun to a non certificate holder.. the lender however has to be within eyesight and earshot of the non certificate holder ...
