BDS STALKING MASTER CHALLENGE 2026
So, you think you know your stuff when it comes to deer stalking and deer management?Then put your knowledge to the test at The Stalking Show with the BDS Stalking Master Challenge!
The challenge is FREE to enter, and if you top the leaderboard, not only will you get bragging rights and a snazzy trophy to take home, but you will also win a 2-day stalking experience with David Freer in Scotland – including accommodation in a log cabin.
What a prize!
Laura (AGM Venison) enjoyed her visit to Scotland with the Freers so much that she’ll be returning to defend her title as BDS Stalking Master this year and win the trip again – so make sure you start swotting up now.
Runner-up prizes and 2nd- and 3rd-place trophies are also up for grabs.
How does the challenge work? It's an interactive game that tests your deer and stalking knowledge against the clock. The more correct answers you give, and the faster you do it, the more points you get.
Want to enter? It's simple, just come straight to the BDS stand in the main Bingley Hall at The Stalking Show and follow the instructions!
The Stalking Show is on the 11th-12th Apri at Staffordshire County Showground. Tickets on sale now.
