novice stalking

Novice deer stalker from South Wales. Joining this forum in hope of keeping up to date with changes and the goings on within the deer stalking world as I take my first steps into the pastime. Hoping to seek advice from experienced stalkers within the field and hearing from like minded people.

Hi my name is Janka , I am based in Oxfordshire and a complete novice. I am joining because I am a member of Ladies Deer Stalking UK and they suggested this would be a good forum to be part of. I have not shot a deer yet, I am currently taking lessons at a local range shooting with a Blaser...

I’m hoping someone can recommend a stalker in the Highlands. I want to take my son to bag his first Red Stag. Quite open to try most locations. I’m trying to find a patient stalker who is happy with a experienced and safe target shooter, but very little stalking experience. I did have a package...

Hello everyone, I've been introduced to stalking indirectly through listening to "The Joe Rogan Experience" podcast and watching "MeatEater" on Netflix. These guys primarily focus on hunting in the US. They speak so passionately about it that I wanted to try it and stalking is the closest that...

Hello, Ok, Complete novice, very keen to get into deer stalking (especially in highlands & other arduous terrain). I am physically fit, love a challenge & was recommended this site/forum as I have no idea where to start my journey into Deer Stalking.

Hi all as I said in the introduction to the forum I'm a novice to deer stalking and have only dipped a toe into what has now become as my wife puts it "an obsession", I'm an Oxfordshire lad through and through and until I was in my early 20's had never seen a rifle let alone picked one up which...

Hi, I'm so new to stalking that I've not actually been...! I have recently joined a local rifle club to help bring my grouping down and joined the BDS in Feb this year. Today I went to Attingham Deer Park and met with some very knowledgable people. I plan on going on some stalks this winter and...

I just thought I would say hi and see whether there were any opportunities for some novice stalking in Yorkshire. I have my DSC1 and I've started my DSC2. I'm interested in getting involved in some regular, local population management rather than trophy hunting but I've found it extremely...
