Martlandhw100 Posted August 4, 2020 Report Share Posted August 4, 2020 (edited) Hi all I'm looking for some advice on the licencing for shooting corvids, I have had a land owner get in touch with me who has magpies and crow problems. All I seem to be reading is that unless they are harming livestock or are a problem for crops etc then your not allowed to shoot them. Can anyone help? Thanks Edited August 4, 2020 by Martlandhw100 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalkedUp Posted August 4, 2020 Report Share Posted August 4, 2020 Good luck, if you wanted to look professional you could print out the forms and BASC guidance highlighting the key aspects (species/damage etc). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
