Deer Stalking… reliable word of mouth recommendation from someone you know has undertaken such stalking being offered by a specific syndicate is best. Like other walks of life, stalking has its scammers. E.G., make sure there is deer, of the species sought, on the land being made available; that appropriate insurance is in place; that there is recourse for recompense if it all goes wrong. In addition, obtain and understand terms and conditions; consider the implications of allowing a syndicate leader to be a FAC mentor; make sure ‘coaches’ are suitably qualified; consider the quality of deer management, the construction & execution of a shooting plan and safety; determine if the land is over-shot.

If in doubt, contact BASC or similar.

Anyone considered to be a scammer will be banned without warning.

Guys I have just completed my DSC1 and would like to get some experience dealing with a deer carcuss. Video's and pictures are fine but you cant beat hands on. I happy to do the donkey work or whatever. I am not asking to shoot, I would like to learn.
Thanks

Do some searching around for local estates that host the DSC course, they often offer a butchery course too. Also, have a look on the BASC site, or give them a ring if you're a member :good:

If you want to do a course, then speak to Andrew Astill - I'll send you his details later, good hands on course and you will learn a lot.

I did Dave Stretton's course some years ago and still use the techniques I learned at Donnington, (sufficient for my level 2 without a problem). Where are you in Essex?
