To hunt on my Department’s land, an organisation must have a recognised governing body. All persons participating in a hunt must also be members of such an organisation. The organisation must also hold a Ministry of Defence issued licence, the terms of which clearly state that only trail hunting carried out in accordance with the provisions of the Act are permitted.
