Thread: Hunting permits

Ive always gone about getting a permit for doc land and permission for private. Only ever once been challenged and it was on a private forestry block which we were harvesting at the time. We'd seen a number of deer so sought the permission of the elderly land owner who was happy with us taking a deer and also from the forest managers.

Thought we'd covered all our bases, did some practice shots at the opposite end of the block to make sure the gun (fresh out the safe after 10 years) was shooting straight, then drove down to our likely spot right on dusk. Just about got to the edge of the skid when a wagon pulled up an some fuck wit jumped out with his rifle demanding to know who we were and what we were up to. Carefully explained that we had permission from everybody concerned (except him the self appointed mayor/security for the block), he fucked off we went to the edge of the skid to find 2 stags on the bush line.

I cant see why anybody wouldnt go about gaining permission/permits after all its one of the easiest aspects of our sport and if your not complying with that then what else are you failing to do???
