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.

Excellent indeed - He could have also insisted on better labelling as it is shockingly poor & useless in this country.
I am all in favour of eating product sourced as locally as possible but, of course, for choice, I would rather purchase foreign non-religious product than the "British halal slaughtered" or foreign non-GM food than the so called "British" GM stuff.

Froggy, +1...........what is interesting, though, is that in France, I've found the local market prices are usually lower than the shops and supermarkets.

In Hampshire, it's the opposite............

One litre of milk that is paid €uro 0.34 to the French farmers producing it, is sold in super-markets for around € 1.5 ... Like you guys, I much prefer to give my money to the guy that gets up early morning that to the share holder that stays in bed. Not to mention that stupid plastic milk bottle that I paid for ... Sadly in central London I have not got much choice ;)
