rascal_2005 Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 (edited) Hi guys I was just wondering about deer stalking? Ever since I got into shooting I have been really intrested in the prospect of deer stalking. The places that you can go to and pay to stalk are looking good, but I waswondering if they would let a compleate novice go down and shoot? I an a sgc holder and a keen airgunner but not really had much to do with rifles. I have thought about applying for my fac but haven't got enougth land to warrent it at the moment (I don't think)m So if I was going to go to a payed stalk what experiance would I need and also what sorts of prices would I be looking at? I feel I'd rather be looking for roe or muntjaks (spelling?)M Thanks for any advice guys John boy Edited January 17, 2010 by rascal_2005 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't have any mates who stalk have you thought about one of the novice rifle courses on offer by BASC etc.? I don't know the prices for an accompanied stalk, but i do know that now is the time for a bargain on the roe doe cull. You are not that far from Jan Andrews in Dorset who has a very good reputation. A good troll through the web should give you an idea of prices, there are also other forums like The Stalking Directory which sometimes have advice or stalking offered. I wish you the best of luck as it is something which I enjoy more than any other fieldsport.....apart from sea trout fishing!!!!!!
