some of it is not worth worrying about , i had a look at the info on 1 bit 20 miles from me , and the only want 6 roe and 6 muntjac shot even though i know the area is stuffed with 100's of fallow !
Am I right in thinking you only have to be working towards your DSC 2 to shoot on FC land?
I'm interested in one but don't have DSC 2 yet.
Savernake is 1 area, that's 5 woods, 222 deer to cull, riddled with joe public and picnic areas, doesn't take a rocket scientist to work out the amount of visits required to hit targets, even if deer are present in these "low impact" areas.That was my understanding, that you couldn't be the license holder but could be a named/authorised person. Anyone on here thinking of tendering for one of the Savernake leases?
Hi Guys,
To become a land liecence holder with the commission you need to be a level two candidate, to be entered on to an existing liecence and stalk alone you need to be working towards your level two and achieve it within 12 months, I have some commission land and we have exceeded our cull of fallow. It al depends on your ranger ours is a top guy and very helpfull. The reason these lets are coming up is the commission is having some serious revamps as all gov stuff is and they are bringing together all districts. This along with reduction of rangers is making the job very demanding, so the rangers let land go, stuff thats a little to far for them or not as produtive as say the wood right where the ranger lives. But great sport for us.
As far as I am aware unless FC England is different to FC Scotland, only a level two qualified person can stalk alone, any level one qualified have to have a level two present
