Land Reserved \ Preserved ?

vixdname

This may be a stupid question but I'm not that long in Ireland and regularly see signs up on posts at the side of the road or on gates into fields which say "Land Reserved - No Shooting" or "Land Preserved - No Shooting", what exactly does this mean ? Is it reserved \ preserved for a private club, is it a state body that has preserved this land so as to keep the wild life safe, or is it just the land owner that simply doesnt want anyone shooting on the land ?

My understanding is its land that local clubs have sole permission to shoot on.

I'm open to correction on this??

My understanding but i could be wrong is that it would be club land , farmers set aside . or just private land

No shooting means just that. Some farmers do not want shooters with dogs on their lands or trespassers.
Land preserved, usualy meand a gun club sets aside a patch of ground as a safe zone for birds. No gun club member can shoot inside the exclusion zone.

most Gun clubs do not own any land as such, although their members may own land.
If you ask the farmer who owns the land, and he gives you permission to shoot; the signs then mean nothing. If he says no, or you don't ask and just go ahead you are poaching under Irish law.

Most farmers don't pay much heed to gunclubs these days, so always check with landowner, I Qualify this statement with the fact that a gun club in my area issues maps every year to members with my fathers land on iy even though they never asked for permission.

We have no unauthorised admission signs on the farm, for insurance4 reasons to do with public liability. These signs are under the occupiers liability act.

Anybody can enter our land with permission.
I have several written permissions to shoot on land that there is no shooting/trespass signs on.
The farmer has these signs up as fellas were dropping empty cartridges an leaving gates open, so he got sick of them and put a stop to it.
I can shoot it as he is a friend of mine.

Haa haa, a classic. Maybe we should put up a tread for the different signs we come across.
