Psyxologos Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 (edited) After spending three days in Scotland with an instructor, I successfully tracked and shot my first two bucks, and had a good look at how to grallock (probably wrong spelling). I liked it so much that I decided I will go for a DSC1 and DSC 2 certification and join a stalking syndicate up there. The only problem is I probably need to buy another freezer, as the two beasts have filled my freezer and fridge...

garyb Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 Well done! The correct term is "Gralloching" or to "Gralloch" This site might help you with further information - http://www.bestpracticeguides.org.uk/ Do you already have a Deer legal rifle?

Yes, I have a .308 but I did not use it, as my FAC states I am only allowed to use it for targets at this stage. I used the Estate rifle.

garyb Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 308 - An ideal tool. Good luck with the variation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psyxologos Posted June 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 308 - An ideal tool. Good luck with the variation. Thanks. I think I will ask for a .243 or a .270 as well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scolopax Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 Another PW classic post, only thing missing is a picture But........I will add, in Scotland in particular some places are quite 'flexible' with what can be classed as enclosed land. I have some stalking and the broken down stone walls and totally collapsed deer fence are enough according to the DCS for it to be defined as 'enclosed', so red stags and roe bucks can be legally shot year round.

I was told that they lamp the deer regularly. My instructor was fuming with them and he said he would never lease their land because of that.
