New game licensing regulations from 1 August
New regulations came into force from 1 August 2007. The new regulations will remove restrictions for those shooting and dealing in game.
They will remove:
- The restriction on dealing in game birds and venison during the close season. This means that any person will be allowed to sell game and venison all year round provided the animals in question were only killed in the open season;
- The requirement for a licence to kill or take game; and
- The requirement for two licences for game dealers to sell game.
