why it always so far away
Cos T'north is a big place with no people and loads of deer
As Kershaw says, a good chance for those that can meet the needs.

Before you get too excited .......
The skills and experience required
To be considered for selection you must hold the following:-
Deer Stalking Certificate 2 or equivalent British qualification e.g. NVQ/SVQ level 2 units C49 and C50 in Game and Wildlife Management or St Hubert Lantra Deer Stalking Qualification. This should also include Large Game Handling.
A UK Firearms Certificate including authorisation to hold a calibre of firearm which is suitable and legal for all deer species in England.
Public Liability Insurance to the minimum value of £10 Million.
Moderated firearms.
FAW+F Certificate (First Aid at Work plus Forestry). If you do not hold the appropriate Certificate you must acquire it before culling commences. DI Ltd will organise courses early in the season for anyone requiring FAW+F training; these will be reasonably costed courses for your own expense.
Lead free ammunition has to be used too.
Does anyone have experience of the following woods and what deer species and numbers are present at Nor Cookspring and Owler carr Dronfield, Bitholmes Sheffield and Oldmoor Strelley Nottingham. Not far from myself might be worth a look.
Regards
DS

Hold a First Aid Certificate at Work after 2 day course cost me circa £200 to add to mandatory list of qualifications for FCS controlled syndicate vacancy (successful) but does anyone know how to add the Forestry bit on, without repeating the main course?
these guys do EFAW + F for £100, maybe too far for you but worth discussing with Jonathon.
