red_stag88 Posted July 1, 2003 Report Share Posted July 1, 2003 My dad has all the avalible deer qualifications, except for the game keeping one which has a small bit of deer tyied in. I'll ask him for some advice. Where are you doing it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Columbus Polumbus Posted July 1, 2003 Report Share Posted July 1, 2003 I have done both the level one and two and was going to do the advanced but when you think about it, putting together a management plan for deer that are nomadic and free living defeats the object. The advanced is probably best suited to park animals that are captive within a given area and not wild deer that move around freely. You will miss a lot of good learning if you have not done the course before hand, I have all the questions, some 300 but its a lottery which they will ask you. Best of luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Columbus Polumbus Posted July 1, 2003 Report Share Posted July 1, 2003 Never seen the Cd I am sure it is good. good luck with the exam let us all know how you get on. Remember some of the answers they want are the way they want you to answer and not necessarily the correct one from experience so be careful not to get caught out by them. Why are you doing it this way and not completing the course .223? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
everygoodnamewastaken Posted July 1, 2003 Report Share Posted July 1, 2003 I know a stalker who has been stalking for 35 years, He now has to go on this course or he cant get his out of season tickets incase the Roe start really destroying trees or something like that, I get to sit the certificate through my gamekeeping course as my estate is only red deer on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
