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.

"Shotgun Carrier"

#1 Post by DL. »

What is a shotgun carrier? Is it the landbased equivalent of a boat for a punt gun?

Also I didn't realise it was illegal to walk through a woodland with a shotgun, I take it that it must be, otherwise why the investment of taxpayers money to send dog handlers and armed response to search. In the interests of public safety no doubt.

Maybe squirrels or pigeons have worked out how to dial 999 :o

I suppose we should at least be grateful he wasn't just described as a "gunman" 8-)
