Sunday and Christmas Day Shooting
There are a range of orders and statutory restrictions on the shooting of game on Sunday and Christmas Day.
The Wild Game Guide
The Wild Game Guide provides information on the hygiene regulations for food businesses that supply wild game for human consumption, and for people who hunt wild game and supply it either in-fur or in-feather or as small quantities of wild game meat.
The guide is available to download in full from the link below, along with the photo annex and the HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) plan.
If you have completed your DSC 1 since 2006 and have the new ‘blue’ coloured certificate, then you are already qualified as a ‘trained hunter’ for large game (ie deer).

What do I need?
Game shooting has a very different feel to other shooting disciplines and there is more to consider when it comes to what you need, what to wear and what is expected.
Types of game shooting
This is most common live quarry shooting, with trained dogs used to flush game out of the hedgerows, woods or other cover as they walk along.
