Do you have a postcode for this pub ? Asking for a friend…..There was a bit of a cougar in the pub we used to call Hot Fuzz many moons ago!
She wasn’t shy come kicking out time put it that way

Waiting for internal assessor verifiers to contact you is like asking how long a chocolate fireguard will last, some are in their dotage, some can be ill, some can be curmudgeons, some can be not arsed …… & the odd few can be really into it and respond.

It was about 2 months before I heard back from them, although they did apologise for the delay.
I had an absolute hard arse …. But did he know his sh*t!, I made the cut after 7 cull stalks & two completed portfolo’s
Grateful thanks to a certain John Archer for his description of my drop jaw demo.

I meant drop tongue
With the last two Candidates that I witnessed earlier this year, the calls from the respective Assessors to the Candidate and myself both came within two weeks.
I'm surprised to hear someone has been waiting a couple of months already.

Quite, the logistics are miles apart, I took the edge off a very good sharp knife on a big Red as the fur/mane was full of grit it killed 2 knives by the time I had it off. The head weighed far more than any whole muntjac.

At least somebody agrees with me!
Red Deer or not fun and games, I will assure you, I’ve said it before they are a pain in the arse when they’re alive and they’re an even bigger pain in the arse when they’re dead!
And unless you’ve got experience in dealing with those size animals, you’re gonna learn the hard way that’s for sure!
Fortunately there’s nothing to stop those advocating for it setting up their own qualification and pitching it to the market.

Hasn't Peter Jones already done that?
Yes and was lambasted by the dsc lovers
Yes - £750 registration plus the costs of stalking 10 deer over the 2 units (Invasive and Non-Invasive).
And yet people here were complaining that DSC2 is a “cash cow”!
If it is, I can’t understand where all that supposed cash is going, as the registration is £175 or £180, depending on who you register with, and then you can do the rest for free if it’s your own ground and you find a willing AW.
Personally I say good luck to him.
If an entrepreneur can spot a gap in the market and is willing to invest and make it pay they should be applauded.
It’s a free market, and if people want to pay him good money for something they see as providing value, kick on!

Is thi
Is this the advanced deer management course you are referring to?
DMC3 - Units 2 and 3:
Deer Management Certificate Level 3 DMC3
DMC3 is a higher level vocational qualification that represents the UK’s highest level of achievement in deer management.

To be fair I think this is the best way to learn. As I mentioned my view is that DSC2 is merely "confirmation" that you know what you are doing and what you are doing is up to a "decent" standard. Its time in the field and behind the rifle that teaches you the key skills ...and you are always learning.
If Im honest I prefer to gralloch fallow then roe as the bigger deer are easier (I have a tow bar winch set up) but extraction wise fallow are bad enough so fair play for those who deal with reds. You can understand why I wont be dragging big reds around as I am built for speed
