Deer and Game Hunting

Deer and Game hunting licences on Coillte properties are tendered annually, usually in April/May. The available licences are tendered by Coillte on the Habitat Area Management System (HAMS) platform.

Licences are awarded for a 5 year term and are re-tendered at the end of that 5 year period. If you wish to tender for a hunting licence we recommend you sign up for a HAMS account at the following link:- Register (hams.online).  

Once registered, available licences can be viewed and tendered for on this platform within the tender window .

Updates on the tender dates will be advertised on the Coillte website under DEER AND GAME HUNTING
