Hi all, so as I said on my intro post I'm brand new to the deer stalking side of shooting and I'm trying to get up and running.
OK so basically I want to get in to deer stalking and I'm just wondering the best way to go about it? I already have a shotgun certificate so I'm sort of aware of the application process. Although I've heard the FAC is more in depth and can be trickier to obtain.
I currently do not have a permission to shoot on any land but that's not to say I won't in the future. I will more than likely start of going on payed stalks a few times a year and then when (If) I get my FAC may start to look for a permission.
Would stalking a few times a year be considered a "Good reason" by the police to own a rifle?
As I said I'm new to all this and just looking for guidance before I apply and don't want to get it wrong.
Thanks in advance
Stuart
