Aw fees

[User00001]

If you are going more stalks than that for your level 2 without having an opportunity to cull what is probably wrong is you haven't chosen your time or place very well. Of course you might be unlucky or not good enough but if that's the case your AW should be telling you not blindly slogging away at it.

Thats the point I was trying to make really. As an AW myself I am always honest with people and actually question them considerably before they even come for a stalk just to make sure that the expectations from both angles are realistic.

I don't see a great deal of evidence that it would take 15 stalks? Mine certainly didn't! I took 4 stalks and the very next one out with another AW would have counted too! Remember, to get an average of 15 means that a lot of people would have to take a lot more than 15 to make up for the lucky ones amongst us who only took 3 or 4! By my maths that would result in someone taking 87 stalks to get the average up to 15 again after someone only took 3 IE 87+3 =90/6ICR's = 15average. That or a huge amount of people taking more than 15 to make up for each one who only took 3 or 4!

I had clearly been at work too long when I done this maths, sorry! Clearly to keep the average at 15 it would require that for every candidate who took 3 stalks to complete their portfolio another would have to take 27 stalks. IE 3 +27 = 30 divided by 2 candidates = 15. Whilst I know of several stalkers who have taken less than 5 stalks to complete the portfolio I'm yet to meet one who took more than 10 let alone one who took more than 25. Therefore guys, if you know what you're doing and have several deer on your ground then I would suggest that you're not going to spend a fortune on expenses/fees despite the unfounded rumours!
