Additional information

Applicants must not be disqualified from holding a Venison Dealers Licence.

Estates that cull deer and sell the carcasses to either the public directly or to retail shops will need to register. The only circumstances in which an Estate would not require to have a licence would be if the animals were being killed for private consumption on the Estate's premises.
