    I'm filling in the permission to hunt fauna.

    I'm only putting down the Malahide Estuary (can't think of anywhere I should list).

    So, looking at the list of birds, is it ok to just put down "all fauna in season"? I'd rather not list every bird individually. Space is tight and i'm sure most species aren't at the estuary, so not wanting to look like an eijet.

    Locations
    Wexford - lady's island
    All lakes - all state lakes
    Foreshore for the following -
    Dublin, Louth, Meath, Wicklow
    That will cover you for east coast and all lakes systems

    I included Mayo, Sligo and Galway (have family there)

    Species : Duck, Canada Geese, Greylag Geese

    I'm in a different part of the country so can't help on locations but I just put wild fowl on application and they had no problem with it.

    On the second page (back of form) when filling in foreshore section, you tick the box for each foreshore you want to shoot over .........but did you also fill in each line in next column - SPECIFY EXACT AREA(S) OF COUNTY FORESHORE YOU WISH TO HUNT ON....for most of them (besides Wexford) & Mayo it's self explanatory really? Is this just for Mayo & Wexford?

    My license is four years old, so things may have changed.
    As far as I remember I listed the county's only and state lakes, Wexford being the only one which had detailed. I listed the species list as some geese are protected even though thier wild fowl.
    The above list in post two is taken directly from my issued license.

    The form is different now than my last one of 5 years ago to the new one I sent in last month.

    Wexford and Mayo seem to be the only areas requiring specific locations to be mentioned. To be safe, on the Dublin one (which specifies the Malahide estuary) I just wrote "all areas outside of the sanctuary".
