    Sent my application by post a few weeks and got the licence today.

    On the end of it I see a condition I never noticed before "This licence is only valid for hunting deer on foot with firearms. Hunting deer with the use of dogs for the purpose of tracking and carcass recovery is permissible."

    Is this a new thing?

    No. It was on last years and the years before it.

    Anything other than "foot stalking" requires a separate license (usually section 42). As for dogs its actually listed as either best practice or a necessity that you have access to/have a dog for tracking wounded animals.

    For renewals?

    It turned into a mess with the reduced staff at the NPWS. Some lads got their licenses in August as normal, but others did not get their one until well into the season. October i believe.

    This year they made it all electronic but the option for paper renewals which must be downloaded instead of being posted out to you.

    Quick check of the archive ,known by my wife as the clutter pile, a 2015 license says the same thing.

    I hope she appreciates your foresight in knowing that would come in handy some day.
