New game licensing regulations from 1 August 2007
The Regulatory Reform (Game) (England and Wales) Order 2007 has removed restrictions for those shooting and dealing in game.
There is no longer a restriction on dealing in game birds and venison during the close season.
This means that any person will be allowed to sell game and venison all year round provided the animals in question were only killed in the open season. There is also no requirement for a licence to kill or take game.
They also remove the requirement for two licences for game dealers to sell game.
If you have any questions about game dealer licences please contact the Licensing Team
