Deer Hunting Licence - Permission Form

Ju_Ju

Hi All,

I've a question around applying for a deer license, specifically regarding the "Landowner Permission Form" on the NPWS website.

Do you need to complete new permission forms every year?

It seems a bit tedious if you have multiple permissions to have to get each land owner to sign another new form every year.

I have a letter from each of my land owners that includes the same detail that is required to complete the "Landowner Permission Form" (name, contact details, folio number, etc). I thought I might be able to use these in perpetuity?

Its every year unfortunately. I used to go around and get my self made forms signed around February/March and submit the application for the next year as soon as the previous years season (excluding section 42s) ended. However they sent back my forms a couple years back when they introduced their own form for permission.

As for all your permissions, you don't need them all. Once the few you give in has their minimum of 100 acres it's enough. You can add new permissions each year or not. Once you get the license you can still use the land yu have permission on regardless of whether it was used to obtain the license. That is from the NPWS' mouth directly.

I've submitted permissions, that i've had for years, but so far never submitted in the last two years and for the last two year the NPWS ring me asking if i want to go ahead and use them as it'll slow my application down. This year i said yes as the year before i said no so as not to delay the license. However i got another call back a few days later saying they were just using the "old" permissions.

I think it has to do with the NPWS not having enough staff/rangers to check not only new applications but check new permissions on existing licensed people.

Thanks, that clears things up. They really don't make things simple do they!

Nope! And if they did they should consider making this a 3 year permit as well , same as our licenses.But that might be like thinking and upsetting the bureaucratic caste.:rolleyes:
