if someone reports you and the powers that be get involved it will be up to you to prove that shooting out of season was authorised by the land owner and that all other methods of control had been exhausted and that shooting them out of season was a last resort.
You will need the farmer to back you up, so if he turns round and says "I knew nothing about it" you're screwed.
Get it in writing is my advice.
What area are you talking about? flyfifer and widows son are referring to Scotland, the rules may be different there.
