Sussex night licence

[Milligan]

Hello. Is there anyone with recent experience of successful applications for night licence? Ideally in Sussex high wield aonb?

Have a cattle farm that is being invaded at night from neighbouring woodland fallow herds. Neighbours not very engaged, shall we say.

I am after a view on the process, angles, pitfalls etc

Since you can already use a thermal/NV scope for deer in Englandshire, is there anyone that cares?

Apply to Natural England.

Deer: apply for a licence to shoot them (A16 and LR16)

Apply for a licence to shoot deer during the closed season or at night and find out how to report your actions.

It all depends .... it will take 2 to 10 weeks. in my case it takes 2 weeks.

Only during daylight hours though.

Think he's likely referring to:

"In England and Wales there is no specific legislation prohibiting the use of any optics. So, an image intensifying (night vision or thermal) scope can legally be used to shoot deer in daylight.

The law in Scotland is different. It states that the use of light-intensifying, heat sensitive or other special sighting devices is not permitted under Section 5 of the Deer (Firearms etc.) (Scotland) Order 1985. This refers to both day and night-time usage of such optics."
