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.

Same story here in the Sunday Mail...

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article ... z2KUHAbAZr


From linked article...
Experts believe there are 10,000 foxes living close to humans in London
Time to get on and tackle the problem... Shoot,Gas, Poisen them GET RID OF THEM

Make it a criminal offence to feed them in your garden... And yes do the same to the tree Rat.. Grey Squirrel

Steady on oomans, consider the other side of the story. This could have been a bit of the chav control that many of you so readily espouse...

When I had a farm, chickens, turkeys, pigs and sheep an animal organization would capture foxes in the towns and dump them live
in the country. This practice caused a lot of problems with livestock and I wonder now if it still happens. These cute looking animals
are for their size a danger particulaly when cornered.

I agree that it should be an offence to feed foxes; but there are other more humane ways of dealing with foxes than gassing or poisoning - firstly, as you say, don't feed them - secondly people need to secure their waste as well to discourage scavenging - and although it's harsh, maybe foxes in problem areas that are picked up injured, sick or diseased should be put down rather than treated and released....

Also, just to put some perspective on this - there have been 2 confirmed instances where children/babies have been attacked in the last 3 years...in the same time frame, how many children/babies have been attacked by dogs in the UK...hundreds? ....thousands?....

Shoot them as well.

Yeah instead of feeding em. They can't be treated and certainly never released. Save everyone a lot of money.

I want to find who is dumping them near me ... http://www.full-bore.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=11293 a couple more sighting over the past few days but never an opportunity for a clear and legal shot - 42g of BB from 10metres should be enough.
