Hunters will inform, through their hunting organization, the local authorities at least 30 days in advance their arrival date.

If they intend to rent there firearms provide to show readable photocopies (especially the stamps confirming the validity) of the gun port booklet (front and back), and the hunting license (single-sided).

If they intend to bring in town his own weapon (in this case sent by express courier) they need to show the European Card, indicating the weapon, or the weapons intended to be carried on.

About rifles must be recalled that in Scotland can be used:
- for deer and fallow deer: minimum size 5,69 (from 22 Rem up) with minimum 50 balls grains;
- for roe buck: 6.17 minimum size (from 243 Win up) with a minimum of 100 grains balls.

Hunters will be able to bring in town maximum 30 frifles’ cartridges, with the option to buy as many on-site.


Hunters with Gundogs to the UK
Your dog must be microchipped and this must be done prior to it being vaccinated against rabies. There is no exemption to this requirement. Following vaccination a blood test will be required to ensure the animal has sufficient protection against the disease. The time period between vaccination and testing will vary depending on the specific vaccine used and a vet’s advice should be sought. However, you must wait at least 21 days before travelling to the UK. The date of vaccination is classed as day 0. So if vaccination takes place on 1st of the month you cannot travel before the 22nd of the month.

The vet will issue a EU PETS Passport if you are travelling from an EU or listed country. Your dog will also require tapeworm treatment and this must be recorded on the Pet Passport by your vet. The treatment must be administered within 1 and 5 days (between 24 and 120 hours) before travel. (Tapeworm treatment is not required if you are travelling direct to the UK from Finland, Ireland, Malta or Norway.) If you are travelling from a ‘listed country’ you must also complete a declaration confirming that you will not sell or transfer ownership of the dog. Only certain transport companies can be used and there are approved travel routes which you must use to enter England, Scotland or Wales unless you are travelling from Ireland. Slightly different procedures apply to Northern Ireland.

Dogs must travel with supporting documentation – this means:
- proof of microchipping: certificate of registration/ patient notes/ letter from vet;
- proof of rabies vaccination: Vaccination card/ Rabies vaccination certificate (these MUST have the microchip number on or there will be delays);
- blood test result: Official test result certificate from the approved lab.
