That is what I was doing, however at my home visit yesterday they told me they won't issue for paid stalks, and that I needed to have land to stalk.I would just book a paid stalk or two. That justifies good reason to possess in itself. No need to wait until you have land to shoot over
I’d be very inclined to challenge that
I bet you a large percentage of fac holders don't have land to shoot over.
Probably true, not much help to me though.
Tbh, I think they're being a bit unreasonable. I would think getting into a syndicate or getting land to shoot over, may be tricky without an fac. Usually the paid outings is the way to go to get started. They are kind of asking you to put the cart in front of the horse. I would try to talk to someone else or get advice from an organisation.
I would absolutely challenge that. Inspector Bruce Crawford would be my choice of contact within Police Scotland. I would suggest a polite email to him seeking clarification would be well worth your time.
Amazing, thanks so much
I've dealt with him personally in the past. It found him to be extremely professional and eminently reasonable
It is if you challenge it the problem is we as a group tend to roll over and just accept made up rules from FEOs
Well it kind of is “much help” as it demonstrates that what you’re asking for isn’t unreasonable, and is the sole premise upon which many an FAC has been issued.
Cracking collar number that!
