Another Essex Stalker- Introduction

Hi from Essex everyone (seems like there are a lot of us on here),

I've been actively watching on the sidelines since lockdown in March, every night before bed checking for local opportunities which are unfortunately few and far between. However, I have finally taken the plunge to get more involved with the stalking community, since the dreaded (word we don't speak of) "C****-19" I think all of our eyes have opened to engaging in the pursuits we enjoy, and keeps us in the UK atm. The bucket list is definitely all 6 UK species, a Canada hunt, a Mouflon and dove hunting in Argentina (a man can dream). I actively stalk/shoot a number of times throughout the year on the family farm, around the UK and have previously stalked in Australia also. However this year the stalking bug has got me and will not let go so I am looking to find some locals to go out with and land within 2 hours of Chelmsford, Essex to help manage farm land and/or support local stalkers on a cull who need a hand and also to enjoy some fresh venison for the table, you should see some of my dishes ;-). I have a shotgun certificate and have recently varied my FAC which i have held for over 10years and now have a .22, .22-250, .243 & .308 so am available for all types of vermin/ deer management for those who need it. I have all my own gear along with 4x4 and Quad if needed. I have been shooting since 8 years old and now in my 30's, my hours at work are flexible AM/PM so if needed for a few days mid week or weekends it can be arranged.

Looking forward to being part of the community.

Thanks,
BigMac
 
Welcome, although I suspect you may be in for a surprise if you think it’s just a case of “im here with all the guns and experience when you need me”..... with rare exception it doesn’t happen like that!
best of luck to you
 
Welcome from another Essex gent!

SD is as much about giving back as it is taking-whether it be advice, stalking/shooting opportunities and free/discounted equipment.

There are some very considerate and generous gents and ladies on here.

My main reason for joining was to interact with like minded people and learn a lot!
If an opportunity arises that is a welcome bonus.

All the best
 
Thanks everyone. Looking forward to being a part of it all, meeting some of you and learning from lots of you. It seems like a very positive forum.
