Wanted: Looking for paid deer stalks near Londo

[maksimjeet]

Hi, I have recently moved to London and want to go on a deer stalking trip with someone who knows this well. I have been on about 4-5 hunting trips in my life (on pheasants mostly and once on a wild boar), but never stalking deer. Since I am a beginner I would like to go on a guided tour so that I can shoot down at least 1 deer. My budget to be honest is not nowhere near the thousands of pounds since online most of the guided touts asks for amounts starting from 1000 GBP for a couple days. I was thinking of couple hundred GBP for a weekend trip (if that is even feasible). Since I am starting out, I would like to go a low-hanging fruit hunting trip. Is that even possible ? please feel free to drop DMs or drop contacts of people who you thin could organise trips like this ...
Also, I don’t currently hold a shotgun license in the UK, so might need for an estate rifle (though I know how to use a gun, since I used to have one in my home country).

I had no intension to ridicule , though its kind of rare to say the least for someone with stalking close to London who might be willing to take a guy out for and take just that £200 for half a day including taking a beast . Of course there are folks who might take you out FOC ( especially if you had something or sport to swap) . Near London prices are of course cost more than they might in Scotland or the less populated areas in the North or Scotland .
Stalking can certainly be done on on a low budget in other areas of the UK especially on the Does and Hinds and over time and experience gained , it can cost you the fuel or actually get paid to cull ( though stalking and culling are quite different ) .
