I dont keep records of rabbits,flying vermin or any other vermin apart from foxes.Records are kept of all game that are shot on shoot days but not the odd walk about with gun and dog.No deer records are kept either.If the farmer thinks there is too many about he asks for some to be shot partly because of tree damage and sadly partly because he doesnt want the deer to attract poachers.

I've started this year filling in a 'Country Sportsmans record book and journal' just fill out who with, what shot, what i've seen, dates, times and a rough description of time out. for the kids mainly to read when l'm old and wrinkly!!

 

Wish i'd done it since l wass a kid, would of been great reading now!

Since I have a FAC I always phone the Police in advance of a shooting outing and get a call log no. and the name of the operator I speak to.

They always take my details, mobile phone. no. where I will shoot, approx. times on site, what calibre, and if I will be alone or not.

Oddly they never ask me for my FAC No.

I enter the Police call log No. in a simple spreadsheet and keep a note of it on me during my outing - in case I get stopped/questioned (also by members of the public) such details will put them at ease quiclkly I think.

I also leave a note under my car window with the Police call log No., the date, and my mobile No.

 

My permission for the .17HMR has a lot of footpaths over it, a main road, and a private steam railway, and it is fairly close to a small town. Therefore I consider this good practice and due diligance.

 

I predict that in the next few years this will become standard practice if not a legal requirement, and that BASC will adopt it in the shooting codes of practise.
