    Just your game licence. Unless your going on state lakes etc. You will need a foreshore licence then. Are you in a gun club? Most of the gun club members have foreshore licences issued. Its a free licence and you can download the application form off the net somewhere.
    Does anyone know are the foreshores for 1 yr or 3?? Someone told me 3 but im nearly sure mines only for 1yr

    You can only shoot them with the shotgun. I said game licence above which was wrong. Shotgun licence i meant. Pm sent (to explain properly)

    I have the same intention - to get a shotgun & licence before the game season. I assume you need the shotgun licence & landowners permission to shoot game?
