I'm also applying for the swede for deer stalking but have had fac for 6 months i have the the other above calibres...
My mate had a visit from an feo he said he should have done 10 stalks already and 5 booked he has three booked he has got to have a mentor neither of us no any deerstalkers so can only go on paid stalks anyway also got to have a mentor for the cleared land the person who owns the land works away alot so can't practically be him.....
How can we have a mentor if we don't no anybody? we would be happy to have only whilst accompanied by experenced stalker type of condition but He won't allow it looks like I have this to come from my deer calibre application
Can somebody tell me where in the home office guidelines it states that conditions should not be restrictive etc and also what would you guys do in this circumstance? Thanks guys
