Recommended Posts

ideal day for someone looking to begin stalking

heres a quick break down of the day

start with brunch local to the location have a bit of a chat about deer ecology, habits,law etc then move on to rifle safty and handling etc, zeroing and bullet placement on deer size targets out to 45m,75m ,100m + form prone and using shooting sticks.then once your confident we will move onto the stalk or highseat depending on location,once a deer roe/fallow/munty cull animal has been taken we"ll move on to the gralloch going through all the things to look for and wots normal etc

the price will be £200 to include all of the above depending on location a butchery course can also be taken at the same time with the animal youve shot +£100

this course is 99% hands on and ideal insight before you take dsc 1,2 etc

ive recently changed the course layout slightly the class room part of the course now has been brought upto date with the latest training software including a interactive identification revision /test this is all still very basic stuff but really does help with the learning process and will give you the best start to your stalking and a real advantage to pass your dsc

ive also put together a revision booklet with key deer stalking points to set you on the road to a successfull and safe stalking this will be yours to take away with you

on the range ive also put together a safty walk/simulated stalk again aimed at clients going onto take there dsc

not everyone seems to whant to stalk live quarry for one reason or another so if you dont feel confident stalking live quarry i can offer a simulated stalk with life size deer targets this replaces the evening stalk and is ideal for someone who wishes to learn more about fieldcraft ,then maybe come back at a later day if you wish to stalk live quarry the cost for this is reduced to £150

I've just returned from an introduction day with Karl, I have shot a few deer with guides in the past, but wanted to have a better understanding of what my DSC 1 would entail if I wanted to take it. We started with a talk about the different species of deer, rifles etc in the classroom environment. After a safety and handling briefing, we then moved to the range where we carried out shooting at different ranges from 100m in shooting both prone and on the sticks. Then a safety walk around the range discussing which shots at targets were safe and could be taken questioning me why not if not and also why a shot could be taken if it could. We then did some range judging not bad only 1yard out, but a move to 160 meters and I was 10 yards out...... After this we went for a stalk I was put in a high seat, to wait for a munty, unfortunately despite signs of deer being present a shot did not present itself, so I didn't get chance to perform the gralloch. For anyone who wants to try stalking I can recommend a day with Karl, he always made me feel at ease, and I will be going back for an evening stalk with Karl
