Redgum Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 Is anyone wanting to do their DSC1 in the near future, there may be some funding available to aid with costs. Not sure when course is but it would be held in Ludlow area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huffhuff Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 I have details. I guess it's a case of seeing who would be best?!? I know the guys we were going with initially have a good rep and I know people with personal experience that highly recommend. But...not sure they have funding available.

Luckyshot Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 this might sound a nieve question , but what benefits does a dsc1 give you ? is it for stalking on estate land ? Apart from all the info you learn and the ability to have trained hunter status it gives you nothing else. Alot of people just do it to get the deer condition on their fac as some countys now insist on it. It has nothing to do with stalking on eastate land Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kent Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 Many commercial forestry etc won't let a stalker out alone without a level 1 cert and you will stuggle to get stalking leases without a level 2. Again not all land just a lot of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again not all land just a lot of it Kent, I think you will find in a few years that most of them will go down that road.

Gnome of the Woods Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 Quite strict criteria for the grant. You have to live "close" to Ludlow and gain over 50% of your annual income from working on/off the land! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redgum Posted November 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 Quite strict criteria for the grant. You have to live "close" to Ludlow and gain over 50% of your annual income from working on/off the land! Thanks for that, I wasnt sure what the criteria was for the funding or were it came from, you would think if it was available near Ludlow then others could offer it.The main reason for the funding is to encourage people to do the course, there are many that disagree with the DMQ's and think its another way of screwing money out of shooting sports. The lions share of the money goes to BDS or BASC depending on which course you go with, believe me you won't get rich holding the courses.

Gnome of the Woods Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 I think it is incredible value for money even at full price. Just sorting out mine for January. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
