I can highly recommend Herbert, I've stalked with Herbert for some time now, not starting as a novice as I was looking for some stalking after loosing the job related stalking I had. Since I've stalked with him I haven't needed to look for my own, even though I try and get out most weeks.
He's got some great gound with plenty of animals. As far as novices are concerned he has all the time and patience in the world and 30+ years experience. What he is offering is to introduce novices to stalking and also to act as a mentor to those who's firearms departments stipulate an accompanied period before opening up their ticket. He also has the facility to provide an Estate Rifle for those that haven't either gained their FAC yet or don't have a deer calibre rifle
Out with him last weekend with plenty of deer showing, saw some big fallow bucks with good heads and some really good Roe.There's also munties. If anyone wants to see what he can provide take a look at his gallery.
