What to expect from your Deer Stalking month by month. Enter your email address below to receive the Almanac:
The ground in question is populated predominantly by Fallow with some Muntjac and Roe. However because of the predominance of Fallow Deer I tend to leave it alone over the summer months whilst we hunt Roe Buck elsewhere.
With the Roe Rut fast approaching many people will be dusting off their Roe calls and frantically viewing clips on ‘You Tube’ to get the best possible technique.
We examine the PDS1 and DSC1 Deer Stalking Certificate - Both the Proficient Deer Stalkers Certificate Level 1 (PDS1) and the The Deer Stalkers Certificate level 1 (DSC1) have been a huge success in the UK and for many Police forces, has been the unofficial requirement for individuals who wish to apply for a firearm certificate (FAC) with an entitlement to shoot deer.
In the UK these courses have been key to providing a professional feel to deer stalking and have been responsible for better informing and educating potential candidates about deer management.
It seems that the criteria that various Police Forces use in deciding whether or not to issue an individual with an FAC is lacking consistency.
As a professional stalker and guide I have noticed a growing trend away from the .243 and this has surprised me.
Recently I have given some thought to deer’s eyesight and so thought I’d look into this matter some more and perhaps get some feedback from other peoples observations?
I appreciate that what I am about to say will undoubtedly invite an outcry of disapproval from some, but here we go anyway!
