The price of the ground is the first issue then there is the increase being placed on the positions by the lease holder.
Cadex i think 333 pounds to have a chance at three deer is not good value at all. But if people are willing to throw money at a lease and the Forestry companies are willing to take it is there any wounder why we are in the state we are in regards deer and there control.
If i was a weekend stalker and had 500 pounds to use on stalking i would go on 10 stalks accompanied and i would bet i would shoot more than 3-5 deer with out the hassle.
Who is offering that deal?
Thats pretty good value buddy, do you get to keep the carcass?
My thinking is - in the grand scheme of things £110.00 per deer shot is reasonable value . . . Bearing in mind you can shoot 365 days of the year if you want [and the meat is yours to take home}.
You might be lucky and shoot 3 nice 6 pointers . . On a paid stalk you would be lucky to lift the rifle to a 6 point roe buck for double that amount . . . . let alone go home with the carcass.
I have partaken in a few bought days here and there and have enjoyed them, but with a syndicate {certainly mine anyway} your not only buying the chance to stalk deer, shoot ducks, ground game and vermin, but your also buying the freedom to stalk and shoot whenever the notion takes you. . . you don't get that with a paid stalks !!!
