Looks like a good time. What is the process for you to be able to hunt roe there? Here in the states it’s buy a license/tag combo and follow the standard regulations set by the state. Same question about rifles? From a curious mind across the pond.
Thanks for the question. Basically, all land in the UK is owned by someone. There is no public land, and there is no licence or tag system, so you need to gain permission. The main way of doing this is to pay for an outing this usually involves you going out with someone on the land they manage like an estate stalker (guide), and they put one a deer. The next is you can buy your own shooting rights on some land or join a syndicate that has the shooting rights. Like I have with the ground I go on in Scotland. You can also be given permission to shoot from the land owner or manager at no cost. To help with the management of the deer on the land for things like crop and forestery protection. Roe are in season all year with males in season during the summer months and Doe's in the winter. You can look at the dates on line. As of last November, there is no close season for male deer in Scotland. Muntjac have no closed season, but Red, Fallow Sika, and Chinese water deer do. When it comes to rifles, you need to have a firearm certificate to obtain one. You get these from the police and you need to have a good reason for owning one. Being part of a gun club is one, and being able to hunt is another. You need to have the calibre and reason of what you want to do with it on your certificate, for example.308 rifle for the use of deer and fox control or .22lr for target shooting. There is no hunter training in the UK but the police are now liking to see that you have been out with someone else like a mentor or payed for stalking and used an estate rifle or have done a Deer management qualification like the DSC1 or similar to prove your interest knowledge and competency. I hope this makes sense. Any other questions, please feel free to ask. All the best Alan
