Your game bird licence number from last year (2017) is: 4691782
You need this number along with your date of birth to retrieve your licence details.
To get your licence simply click here
Follow the simple prompts by entering your 2017 Licence number with your date of birth as a Returning Customer and click on Find my details.
In checking your details, remember this year to answer two points on the form:
- Whether you want a stand claim tag sent to you
- To register as an elector and have your say in the October 2018 Fish & Game Council elections.
Don’t forget, you can mark up your existing hunting stand as soon as the stand claim tag is received, i.e. do so prior to pegging day (8 April). Bear in mind, no one can claim more than one stand. If you are looking to claim a new hunting spot for 2018, you must wait until after 10.00am on Sunday 8 April before doing so.
Habitat Stamp … now printed on the licence
The Habitat Stamp image is now printed on the licence. However, if you would like an actual stamp please separately email [email protected] with your licence number and return postal address details and one will be sent out to you free of charge.
