Hunting as reason for licence and rifle permit

Post by Pilch » 11 Jul 2013, 8:30 pm

Hi Guys,

Quick question regarding licences. I'm planing to hunt rabbits and foxes at a friends private property for pest and feral animal control.

I don't own the property or anything is all. Is that all good for my reasons for wanting a rifle licence, even without having a property.

Wanting to get a .223 or a .243 as my first rifle.

Cheers :)

Hunting is a perfectly fine reason.

Just hunting mate. It doesn't have to be an essay.

Other puny calibre rifles... What man would want you now?

I literally put "hunting" on my licence application etc.

Hunting can include private property or any one of a number of state forests. You don't need to specify any of the exact locations or permissions or property ownership etc.
