It's a great course. Learnt loads and had no trouble staying awake (Unlike many of the work courses I have done over the years.

Did mine in 1992, it was called the Advance Deer Stalkers Certificate back then. Richard Prior and Andrew De Nahlik were instructors. The shooting test was done with the newly introduced Brown Bess musket.
Even back then it was totally geared to learning 'how to manage people and the landscape to cope with deer'. Very little to do with actually stalking (it was assumed you knew how to do that). I've used the Hoffmans Pyramid a few times since - mostly to hide behind and confuse land owners

Like you i did the Advanced Deer Stalkers Course, Mine was in 1993 (7/13 march) when it was hosted by the BDS Services Branch at Bovington Camp, Instructors were Andrew De Nahlik/Richard Prior/John Childs/Alex Jagger/Guy Wallace/David Witby and more, Absolutely brilliant course and accommodated for the week in the officers mess

93%. Chucked a mark or two on naming the teeth as I didn't name the incisers! Just totally ignored them and labled all the others. Doh!

Anyone done the BDS Deer management course? Did my DSC1 earlier in the year and tempted by it before i do dsc2.

And if so what benefits did you get from it?

Thanks in advance

Depending on your objectives but I would recommend to to the DSC2 first, because it opens doors.
Simply because quite a few of the larger landowners now require you to have the DCS2 before giving permission.
I have never been asked by any landowner to produce my BDS Deer Management Certificate.

Jelen do an Advanced deer management course and I can recommend that one.
