You are obviously having doubts as to the suitability of your land, to be asking this question, I would suggest having a chat with him before you apply.

Acreage does not really come into it, as long as it's regarded as safe you will get it. I would check if it has been approved for any other firearms, if it has you are on a winner.

rob13 Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 I dont believe in land size and suitabiliy i say "its the calibre of the man not the land or rifle" Quote from george wallace sporting gun writer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2shots Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 Ive got access to a 20 acre wood in a valley but its been knocked back for everything but a shotgun, due to a railway line that runs along side the wood 150 metres away which you cant see if your down in the wood even a .22rf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob ,This one allways seem to be a bit of a grey area to me .what happens if a piece of land is turned down for say .22 rf or .308 . C an a stalker with an open certificate then go on to the land to shoot the deer . I have shot deer on land that has never been surveyed albeit large areas of arable . The conditions of my open ticket are and i quote - The .308 ruger rifle and ammunition shall be used for shooting deer and for zeroing on ranges,or land over which the holder has lawful authority to shoot .
