I feel it is only a mater of time no qualifications no stalking.
The question is:-
" Is this drive for paper certification actually improving the Deer management? Or is it just driving a money making scheme? Or is it just a way of them covering their corporate ass?"
I have my doubts on all of that.
the question is, will there be a DSC3
Brit hunter regards removing deer you are probably right but when it comes to the meat hygiene and the industry there have been real improvements,
When private forestry companies tender for plantings they need to put a wildlife plan in place and Fountain Forestry have just given them selves a few extra points. It is the FC that administer the grants and no doubt the it is similar to a tender and done on a points system
Of course there will be once the candidates for level 2 start to dry up.
I take it this is just for the lease holders how long before it extends to include every syndicate member on the lease? I know most require DSC 1 already

a member has to achieve l2 in the the first year on they can't shoot the ground the following year. FC like others are saying that includes any and every other ground as well so unless you sneak onto another syndicate then you need to sort it out quick.
The current FC thinking is a syndicate member deserves a chance to start somewhere but then they only get A year to achieve L2,
Brit you can look at things all ways ,money making scheme possibly it has opened up a door to earn money from that route . Ass covering yes but no different from anything else if you have had no formal training you are not liable ,if training has been done you should no the correct way and then it is on your shoulders. for me it is an avenue to learn and i do feel it will benifit me or anybody else that does it . It should also slow the voice of the anti having no real evidence that the guys with the rifles dont have reason for them . this might be all wrong but i think it is the way forward, atb wayne
ps thanks for the help with the stock
Erm! I think you'll find that training or not, if you commit an offence or cause damage or loss... you will be carrying the can... end of.
Ignorance, whether of the law or anything else, would be no defence.
However, you being qualified does help the middlemen, between owner and leaseholder, show that they have exercised "due diligence"... asses covered.
