Land owner permission

rambo85

Hi,

I would like to apply for a gun licence and was wondering what the procedure for getting permission from landowners for the licence is? Is there a certain form I need to give them that they need to fill out or do I just type up a letter? Also would anybody recommend landowners in the East Cork area?

Thanks,

Cass

Write out a couple of lines where the landowner grans you permission to shoot on his/her land. You sign it, they sign, and Bob's your Uncle.

Is there a certain form I need to give them that they need to fill out or do I just type up a letter?

Just type it up yourself. For example:

I "Paddy Bloggs" give Rambo85 permission to shoot on all lands owned by me for the purpose of vermin control and hunting game during the appropriate seasons."

Date it
Two of you sign it
If possible get folio numbers, but this is not vital.

It does not have to be a novel. Once the permission is granted in any format the Gardaí are satisfied.

Also would anybody recommend landowners in the East Cork area?

Thanks,

I cannot help you there, but i doubt others would be too forthcoming with names, and areas as it's their permissions, and frankly they don't know you.

The best bet, and what most people will/would recommend is get feet on the ground and start knocking doors. You will be refused, but don't let that put you off. Also if you have one permission it helps to try neighbours of that permission and tell them you are already shooting "Paddy Bloggs" land. It puts their mind at ease if they know a neighbour is already allowing you.


Best of luck with it.

I just made this up and printed them out, always keep them in the Van as you never know, I prefer to have it in writing instead of word of mouth incase I'm confronted by a Neville Nobody, I can ask him if he likes Apples before producing written permission.





To whom this may concern,

I (NAME)_______________________________ of
(ADDRESS)_______________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________.
Here by give permission to ******* ******, of ********* ***** *********** Co Cork,
Permission to hunt Fox, Rabbit, Deer and other Game on my land containing __________ Acres.

Signed:________________________________.

Print:__________________________________.

Phone Number:_________________________________.

Date:_____________________

Folio Number:_________________________




You can leave out the Folio number and reference to Deer but you get the drift, if it's easy for the Farmer all the better.


* does not refer to my expletive ridden general conversation :pac:

Aussie thanks that letter will do great,

Thanks

Cass

I'd work of Aussie's letter. Much more detailed yet not too long either.

Hope you get sorted asap.

You can thank CliveJ for the idea and general message, he posted something like it almost 2 years ago, I promptly dumped my semi literate dribble for his idea, with a few changes to suit...
