Title says it all lads. Forestry Commission Tenders Scotland. Plenty to drool over - but far away from most of us.
Good hunting.

Is anyone on here thinking of going for STRATHRANNOCH, CARN MHOR & BEN WYVIS NNR blocks?
I'm living quite close & would be interested in being part of a team on that one.

A wee closer look at the FC leases. I thought I would break them down and I was shocked when I seen the figures. Here goes.
Achormlarie costs £3360 inc vat with the maximum 4 stalkers. Costs £840 to be one of the stalkers. Shoot 20.5 deer and that works out at £40.97 a head.
Braehour costs £3480 inc vat with the maximum 3 stalkers. Costs £1160 to be one of the stalkers. Shoot 23 deer and that works out at £50.43 a head.
Dalchork costs £2160 inc vat with the maximum 4 stalkers. Costs £540 to be one of the stalkers. Shoot 8.75 deer and that works out at £61.71 a head
Dalchreichart costs £3120 incvat with the maximum 4 stalkers. Costs £780 to be one of the stalkers. Shoot 16 deer and that works out at £48.75 a head
Invershin costs £1680 inc vat with the maximum 2 stalkers. Costs £840 to be one of the stalkers. Shoot 15 deer and that works out at £56 per head
West Strath costs £3000 inc vat with the maximum 2 stalkers. Costs £1500 to be one of the stalkers. Shoot 33 deer and that works out at £45.45 per head
Strathrannoch costs £6720 inc vat with the maximum 5 stalkers. Costs £1344 to be one of the stalkers. Shoot 25.6 deer and that works out £52.50 per head.
I might be wrong and thinking that it doesnt seem like its value for money as the FC are getting the deer to cash into the game dealer. I wont be paying £62 to pull the trigger, think of the added costs on this aswell quad etc. They should be paying us to shoot the deer for them. Cheers Hootsman
I didnt think the carcases belong to the Fc I thought they were the syndicates property.

plus 1 with above that's how i read it anyway, besides that they still retain the right to put in forestry commission rangers/contractors.........
This is the same with most leases though mate . . . .I have a lease with a private forestry company and they can also put a contractor in if you fail to do the job properly . . . . I think there is a missconception that the FC are just desperate to put contractors in to lamp your lease, I just don't think thats the case . . . . The FC are going through hard times just like the rest of the public sector . . . . . .They want the deer shot, if you shoot them and do the job you will be left well alone.
