I note that in the short time I've been visiting this great site, there have been a few members posting availability of stalking for bought days, and that often these members have to be asked to post further info so that interested parties can assess the deal.
Would it be beneficial to put a sticky in the Late Availability section, requiring anyone posting there to keep to a specific template that gives all the necessary info?
for instance:
Location: approximate location - county or nearest town (we accept that specific locations can not always be given in order to deter scallys and scrotes)
Guide/contact name
Guide / contact number (or can request PM)
Type of deer available: red / roe / fallow / muntjac / CWD
Date(s) available
Number of places available
Price per stalk / day / trip (state number of stalks if this is a package)
Additional info:
Can carcass be kept?
Can carcass / meat be bought?
Will there be any 'success' charge? (How much)
What are the charges for trophies?
Will all stalks be accompanied or will it be possible to stalk (or occupy a high seat) alone?
At what point will a stalker be advised regarding a 'cull' buck/stag as opposed to a 'trophy' - during initial briefing or just prior to shot being offered?
Are estate rifles available?
What calibre is suggested, or is there a maximum calibre that the ground is cleared for?
I think that covers everything I would want to know - did I miss anything?
