Guys,
I think what is important to note here, is that times are hard and deer stalking is proving to be a very welcome income for many farmers, landowners, recreational stalkers whoever is involved with deer management. The key for me is to make sure that the same quality can be harvested year on year, don't get greedy just because you need the money tomorrow. If this is taken into account I don't see how anyone could disagree with someone taking some trophy heads with clients to help put some money in their pocket.
For example on price I pay between £250 - £500 for a gold head. However please note that the guy I pay £500, can guarantee big medal heads on a 2 / 3 day trip. It's not once in a blue moon he shoots a gold head. Same story with the roe bucks, the guys who can produce regular big heads have high prices.
Regards
Alex
