DSc2 clearly is Advanced qualification and killing experience over last three years qualifies you for Cat 4

No need for course

Common sense prevails
Quite, and the route many of us have followed shooting foxes for years with lamp then NV and thermal slots in nicely however there will be a large number who will fall short with that type of experience because they "don't want to shoot foxes lol"
 
Interesting - I can see reference to both basic and advanced deer management qualification but can't find the definition of either. Anyone found it yet?

Edit - it does seem mighty easy to sign up to. This has basically made night shooting the norm.
DSC1 Basic. DSC2 Advanced
Didnt know there was a Deer Night Shooting Certificate .

Anyone on here applying ?
 
Totally agree and it would simplify the process but there is no place in the registration form to enter that information.
Agreed, but there was a email link to the NFU for requesting confirmation of one`s experience with night time wildlife management for disease control and submitting it as evidence.

Bugger. I didn't look as I fitted the Cat4 criteria.
And I've just e-mailed them suggesting they look at Badger Cull data :rolleyes:
 
Forty years doing fox control by night seems to count for nothing. Now I can sit out and bag the fox that is eating the farmers chickens but can't shoot the deer that are eating just about everything that is edible on his fields, without a licence.
Yep, it's a funny thing. Somehow shooting deer at night is a particularly dangerous activity, whereas shooting foxes and rabbits in the dark is not 🤔

Cat4 in the list puts you in the ball park... :)
 
Reporting your actions
You must report all licensed action within 14 days using the CL55 Report of Action form. You can access the report of action form via this link: Report actions to shoot deer at night taken under the CL55 class licence - GOV.UK
If you shoot deer at night on a site more than once, you will need to report after each occasion that you attempted to or successfully shot deer at night.
It is the responsibility of the person who submitted the site notification form to report all licensed activities on that site. If you do not submit the site notification form but shoot deer at night on a notified site, then you must provide your registration reference number to the person that did submit the site notification form, so they can report your actions for that site.
If you have any questions about your class licence registration, please contact the Species Management licensing team at:

After every outing!

No as imho the only reason to do so in Lancashire is not enough shooting being done in the open season . If a person cannot get the Job done in the correct time , they should shout out for a hand during the traditional season . Its not like the Vast Estates of Scotland
