blackbird Posted November 29, 2020 Report Share Posted November 29, 2020 Simple answer NO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fellside Posted November 30, 2020 Report Share Posted November 30, 2020 Simple answer - YES! All tiers OK for shooting subject to Covid safe protocols. Read the guidance - plenty of published material. However, it is advised that guns do not travel from one tier to another. Please note this is ‘advisory’ and not yet a legal requirement. The current thinking with anyone I’ve talked to: is to accept this advisory guidance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fellside Posted November 30, 2020 Report Share Posted November 30, 2020 Sorry - I thought the question was about Covid / driven pheasants. Its front of mind at the mo’ - just been researching it. I can’t honestly answer re the bird flu outbreak. I can only say, in the past they’ve used exclusion zones around outbreak farms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fellside Posted November 30, 2020 Report Share Posted November 30, 2020 Here you go - hope the link works. There is a 10km control zone around the Northallerton site. The only ‘game bird’ restriction I can find - is on releasing game. Have a closer look - as there might be restrictions also on removing birds from the control zone....? Apologies again for the initial confusion. https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/939582/TCZ-declaration-northallerton-IP5-DPR-2020-36.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted November 30, 2020 Report Share Posted November 30, 2020 The part that's worrying for shooters is about land access in the zoned areas. Bio security and such. Basc would be my first phone call on this matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fellside Posted December 1, 2020 Report Share Posted December 1, 2020 Digging deeper now: it would seem the 3km zone has activity restrictions and the 3km to 10km outer zone is for surveillance. All the details needed - now on the BASC website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gotgcoalman Posted December 4, 2020 Report Share Posted December 4, 2020 I was delivering around the Leeming/Northallerton area on Wednesday and saw 1 temporary sign to indicate there was/had been an outbreak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
