An event which should appeal to all stalkers
 
£15 for the day according to the cumbria woodlands website. I doubt that they'll be covering the deer code for Scotland, but if you want it from someone that'll know what the code for Scotland is call Mr Boston, he'll know.:)

speak to Alistair re Deer Code Scotland -

The three topics as far as I am aware are Firearms, Risk Assessments and Carcass Handling.


I understand that the event is £30 per person , but if you meet certain criteria the cost is reduced 50% and subsidised by Cumbria Woodlands I am not 100% on the criteria for discount, but I think one may be if you are resident of Cumbria.

The day is very good value - a copy of Best Practice alone is worth £25....

Inputs from any of the three speakers would be worth the attendance fee in my book.
