Venison Dealer Licenses
Further to the report regarding venison dealer investigations being stepped in the last E-Scope, a map showing those holding Venison Dealer Licenses has now been made available. This map is from last year and some Local Authorities had not presented their VDL returns to SNH in time for inclusion, but it gives an important indication of the geographical spread (and absence) of VDLs.
If processing deer carcases please consider your situation, the need for a VDL, and contact your Local Authority for information. SNH has also offered to assist by checking the details of your license, contact Andy Turner andy.turner@nature.scot
