djflawless

What date is the hare season over lads?

foxboy

The period beginning on the 26th day of September in each year and ending on the 28th day of February in the year immediately following that year.

If you have licence to shoot them

pmac77

what licence do you need to shoot a hare? is it not covered under your general game and vermin licence.

foxboy

I think if you have a limited licence they can't be shoot

Limited Licence
This is a firearms certificate for a shotgun, which is only granted to land-holders or persons nominated by land-holders to protect crops from vermin. Vermin include rodents, crows and unprotected species of wildlife. Limited firearms certificates do not cover the shooting of any type of game.
If you are not a land-holder, you must obtain shooting rights from two or three land-holders in advance of your application and bring evidence of this to your local Garda Station. You will also be required to complete an application form in the presence of the Garda who will then forward your application to the Superintendent of your police district and include recommendations on your application. The Superintendent of your police district will grant or refuse your application.

Section 1 of the FCA1:

Type of application
Firearms Certificate
Restricted Firearms Certificate
LIMITED Firearms Certificate
Training Certificate
Substitution of Firearm

If you ticked hunting on application you can shoot game in season, if you ticked firearm cert you can only shoot vermin

If you tick firearm cert you get a full firearms license. If you tick HUNTING in section 4.2: Reason why this type of firearm is required, then you can shoot game, vermin etc as this is the REASON you want the firearm.

Section 5.1; Wildlife Act Requirements. You tick this if you intend to shoot any game covered by the Wildlife Act, pheasant, Hare, Deer, etc, etc.
