I have sent my licence renewal for the 21/22 season but didn't get any acknowledgement. Anyone else in the same boat ?

cookimonster · 27-03-2021 12:08AM

They aren't sending out acknowledgement and haven't for a while.
In the past no news was good news.

I know you've probably looked, but mine was under deerlicences@housing.gov.ie. The word searches I was using didn't bring it up. But found it under this.

Firstly:

As per previous posts there seems to have been a glitch in the earlier part of the online application process. No receipt / acknowledgement was issued on foot of email applications. That has been corrected, but it doesn't seem to be retrospective with early applications.

Whether this makes a difference I'm not sure, but it may be advisable to resubmit and get a tangible acknowledgement of your application.

Secondly:

In a recent NARGC statement, it has been indicated that the NPWS will not be issuing hard copies of the 2021/2022 Deer License.

Deer Hunting Licenses

Unlike in 2020, the NPWS say they are already prepared for 2021 and the delays of last year ought not be encountered this year. Hard copy licences will not be issued in 2021 except on specific request and where hard copies are required, applicants should liaise directly with the NPWS by phone or email.

FYI

Wonder why they cant issue one bit of plastic with a number on it thats yours for life, and we update it triannually in the future with the bag returns be they annual or tri-annual and the tri annual permissions in the future?
This would be the time to do this right for future use and making life easier for everyone.

I think that's the way they are heading, that and mandatory certification. I believe, as you said, it may go to three year licence.

Is this only required for online applications or will people who sent in hard copies receive a hard copy as before ?

I draw your attention to the under lined section taken from the NPWS web site page - Deer Hunting Licences - 2021/2022 Season.
They are looking for a valid email address, so they may acknowledge your hard copy application.

You must complete all sections of the application form. Incomplete forms will be returned to you. All application forms should contain a valid email address and the processing of your licence may be delayed where one is not provided.

https://www.npws.ie/licences/hunting/deer-hunting-licences-2021-2022

If there is anyone else here that sent in a hard copy and got an acknowledgment please let us know.

clivej · 31-03-2021 07:44PM

I've just Re-emailed mine now. To be sure, to be sure.

Check the junk folder Grizz, as mallards said above. Brother also re-sent his and his auto reply went into the junk folder

Grizzly 45 · 01-04-2021 12:52PM

Apart from the usual African princes wanting to send me millions for my bank details,and sexy Latina call girls and ladyboys wanting to meet me....Nope!:(

garrettod · 02-04-2021 06:22PM

Email acknowledgment received, literally seconds after I emailed in the application.

As an aside, I would really like to see a more secure method of submitting these applications - use of encrypted email, for example - given the personal info.

.

Hunter456 · 05-04-2021 07:42PM

sent in a second application just in case got my acknowledgement email the next day.

Kat1170 · 11-04-2021 12:01PM

Got my licence for next year 21/22 in the post yesterday. If only it was always this simple.

Edit; email application.

Edit 2; application sent in 30/03

Please clarify-

You got your 2021/2022 deer hunting license.

OR

You got an application form sent out to you?

I stalking buddy of mine emailed his application several times with no acknowledgment. Seems to be a bit glitchy.

Jes... that's a first, NPWS issuing out a deer hunting license before August.

Theres a few dozen lads I know who have applied since the NPWS opened the application process and we've heard nought.

Seen about twenty lads on facebook got there's too. New system this year so or else they found the printers that they lost last year

Cass · 12-04-2021 12:16PM

Seen them too. The pictures show the letter dated as August 2021. Thought it was April fools prank, but they was posted about a week ago (4th of April onward). They must simply be sending out the licenses as soon as they are processed o avoid the massive delay that occurred last year.

I don't see the issue anyway. Your 2020/2021 license covers you until July 31st, and the new from August 1st. All having the license early means is you're not waiting come August 1st but the license is also not valid until then.

Its actually better.

Kat1170 · 12-04-2021 04:16PM

Can't really shoot anything until the 1st Sept anyway, no muntjac around these parts

. Just nice to have it in hand.

Can a new applicant apply and get HCAP after?

AFAIK they are not enforcing mandatory "qualifications' at the moment due to Covid restrictions.

But after Covid and if they go back to thier previous statements you will require your qualifications prior to applying for a Deer Hunting License. I would advise to apply now regardless of your circumstances while the window of opportunity is open.
You can always expanding your knowledge at a later date.
