It always has been like that, until suddenly it’s not. Then you have to decide do you lodge your guns or risk a seizure? Problem is IME once you’ve lodged your guns they then try to prevent you getting them back by refusing your renewal ( which they sat on for four months). There’s nothing...

Noooo. It’s a wearing process though. You don’t just get a court hearing, you get several court sessions which all take time and organisation building for a main event at a court 50 miles away.

Brief update, two weeks after guns go into storage they inform you this is now “a suitability review.” Two months later D&C inform you of refusal to renew. 3 weeks to lodge appeal. Then it’s all longwinded court processes, and evidence exchanges. Lot of time, effort, patience, resilience...

Team shoot and move fallow to address numbers. Extend seasons and allow 2 hours before sunrise after sun set. Drive by shooting out the window. Green gralloch and mark carcass. Retrace route picking up carcasses later on? Maybe driving,corralling ,penning for slaughter are techniques demanded...

If I was you mate,I would get legal insurance in place now. Before you actually know you are going to need it.

Do they have anything on you? If they have they will keep you in dark until day before and tell you to lodge all firearms because you are in for a “suitability review.” That’s your worst case scenario otherwise play chicken and demand a sect.7 extension. But risk a seizure if they have any...

Looking at the stats just out, if I were about to renew I would make sure you get legal insurance in place now. D&C are on knee jerk reaction with refusals and revocations at very high level.

I speak as a tenant farmer with a landlord who reserves deer or the right to kill them from the tenant. That is a standard agreement, a farmers defence would not be agreed to but the ground game act puts the default compulsion to defend on the occupier and provides an “inalienable right “to kill...

Repeal the Deer Act and revise the Ground GameAct so occupiers get default access to crop protection right against deer. Incorporate suitable weapons/season and training standard within a deer section .

Best of luck to anyone applying. You will be joining a very well run, well supported team.

Refreshing no mention of a thermal spotter? Enjoy life without one as long as you can would be my tip to a new stalker.

Fail to see a discernible difference other than risking armed response and angle grinder home invasion by defying there sect.1 edict in OP.

Without a revocation there is no appeal hence no automatic route to challenge injustice. The effect of failing to renew on time is the same effect but without safeguard of appeal process. So question is does one do as BASC says “be patient.” Or seek to sue your County Police service for...

However there is a veiled warning under section 1. of the original post. ie. Possession without a valid cert. (under any circumstances) is non negotiable as very problematic! D&C give automatic time extension for renewals because of inefficiencies. You expect the new licence any day, right up...

Well I have had sgc continuously for over 50 years and fac for over 30 years and never a problem. Then out of blue at renewal day there is a problem so you lodge your guns or you dispute /argue and say you can’t do that and encounter paragraph 1. of original post and risk an upsetting ARV raid...
