Just wondering how long members have been stalking as it seems that a lot of newcomers on this site tend to give out a lot of advice .

Stalked and successfully caught my first live leveret with the help of my pal Bob in a newly rolled grass park, just shut off for hay, when we were both six years old and in P.2. .... so that'll be 48 years go in May. But I'm guessing you think "stalking" only means going after deer.

Yes.. and I related my first successful "stalk" as this is the "Stalking" Directory <-------- No mention of deer there.

My first go at deer with a gun came about a decade later when I was in my teens... but I actually "stalked" them from about the same age as my first leveret catch....

Since I turned 18, father was only interested in driven game shooting, not rifles or deer so a very good friend of mine got me into it. First stalk would have been when I was about 12, out with an air rifle after pigeons and I stalked into a roe buck to approx 10 yards, he stomped his feet at me and came towards me, scented me and made his escape. Virtually crapped myself! But I was armed with a .22 Airsporter so I would have been fine!

10 years this year!

But I don't see how your poll is going to be of much help as there are probably some that stalk several times a week and those that stalk several times a year. Ones 'years' experience is going to be quite different to the other!
 
Just a brief point, don't assume that someone new to the forum is new to stalking.

I've been stalking for about 10 years, on this directory since 2009, but have been shooting centre fire rifles for over 25 years.
Cheers
