I have read some of the comments in the 'Deer Culling' post (link above and i think its below this)

 

For all of you that have criticised my post, obviously you do not stalk on any commercial forestry or estates where they actually do take serious their due-diligence. What i posted is the minimal requirement - you would know this if you did.

 

It does not matter to most modern farming managers, estate keepers or land agents that you got to learn to stalk with moses or knew god as a lad. They are interested in meeting their insurers requirements, H&S obligations and most of all covering their ***** that if you so-called stalker put a hole through their 385k new harvester or god forbid put a hole through their favourite lama , one you are covered adequately but two, when plod roll up and ask what precautions they took in offering you the stalking, they have the paperwork in place that if a third party was involved ie a neighbour's livestock, their **** is covered.

 

Any landowner not doing this in this age of sue and be sued risks their livelihood.

 

On another matter, armchair stalker no, not even a reloader or a paper plinker. I stalk between 5/6 times a week across commercial forestry and four large estates as well as syndicates in the highland and Scots borders. Shoot 120-160 deer a year.

 

I dont necessarily agree with all the beurocacy, and i too have been stalking and shooting for over 30years, but it is a modern requirement and will eventually consume us all. In Scotland, the authorities are already deciding on whether DSC1 is going to be mandatory to stalk deer, within five years it is likely to be, whether you knew some old countyman or served Sir Francis Drake.
