shooting rights

Licensed game privileges

Shooting rights are the legal permission to hunt game on a particular piece of land.

In Britain especially, these rights can be leased or sold separately from land ownership itself, allowing hunters access to private estates: The estate generates income by selling shooting rights to wealthy sportsmen.

The term also applies to film and television—the contractual authority to produce content based on source material: The studio acquired shooting rights to the novel.
