It was a good week, as Ciscokid says, we had typical Scottish weather, but all bar one gun took at least one beast. It's not easy, which I think does lead to some of the negative press, but that's just low density, hard shot, forestry reds for you.
After last year's sad incident with the death on the hill safe-stalking check-in procedures are in place, stalking is in pairs, and a GPS tracking unit is available in case of there being an odd number of stalkers.
Mike T. was co-ordinating the BASC team on the ground, an experienced professional stalker (ex-FC) he was very willing helpful and got stuck into extractions (as did Bob who's a bit of a miracle worker on a quad).
A really good opportunity- consider booking a cottage rather than staying a hotel, saves a fortune in meals, packed lunches, drinks, can get breakfast before you go and also means you have a dryer to hand (you may need it!). PM me if you want a recommendation.
Cheers BASC!
