    Who owns the right to give permission to hunt on land if its rented land? Is it the original owner or the person renting the land?

    depends on the contract between the landowner and renter if landowner has sporting rights. landowner may not own the shooting rights in the first place

    Unless it's mentioned in the lease they stay with the landowner AFAIK. Fishing rights may be owned by a club, or the state depending on where they are. Check the lease.

    If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.

    No lease just a gentlemans agreement so I presume the landowner retains the rights?. The old fella never believes in getting lawyers involved to add cost.

    He has always restricted hunting rights because he has glasshouses on the farmland too and overeager hunters have shot a good bit of glass out when shooting over the years without permission. I was just querying as a friend in a gun club said they get permission sometimes from landowners and sometimes from farmers renting the land.
