Summary Offences Act 1988

Hunters should be aware this Act covers:

• hunting without permission — similar to aggravated trespass under the Inclosed Lands Protection Act 1901, it’s illegal to enter private land and hunt for any animal without permission
• knives in public places — unless there is a reasonable excuse, such as lawful hunting, knives must not be possessed in public places and must be securely stowed when hunting finishes.
