Dealing in game
You no longer have to hold a local authority licence or an
excise licence in order to deal in game. Restrictions on dealing in
game birds and venison during the close season no longer apply.
This means that any person is allowed to sell game and venison all
year round provided the animals in question were lawfully
killed.
You have to keep records to the level specified in EC Regulation
178/2002 if you sell game birds or venison. If you deal in game
birds or venison, you should check your source before you
either:
- sell
- offer or expose for sale
- possess or transport for purposes of
sale
This is because you could be committing an offence if you know
or have reason to believe that the game bird or venison you offer
for sale was unlawfully killed, taken or poached during the close
season.
