I don't blame Jean at all for trying to drum up some trade and it's a case of "you pays your money and takes your choice".
If four people go then the accommodation is not too bad at about £50 each per night, about the twice the price of a Travelodge with two sharing and one assumes, far more comfortable.
The stalking prices are a bit of a mixed bag, if you don't get a deer you can't complain at not being charged as you have still had a few hours of the stalker's time but £100 per deer shot plus the stalking fee makes it an expensive outing as I assume that this is the same be it a cull doe or decent buck.
By comparison I stalk with a couple of professional stalkers in the south of England and I pay £50 for an accompanied outing whether or not I get anything, I get the head in this price unless it is a particularly good trophy and if I want the venison it's a negotiable price over and above this based on the current wholesale price.
I do not have DCS but I have been stalking with these guys for between 10 and 20 years and they are happy to let me go unaccompanied where I know the ground. I pay £35 per outing plus any venison taken for an unaccompanied outing and leave any carcasses I don't want at the farm to be picked up later. I get a good deal as I also guide the odd client for them when they are heavily booked. This enables them to get up to four stalkers out at any one time which makes it more financially viable for them. On the other hand I am happy to turn out in rubbish weather to help with the doe cull as very often paying clients only want bucks.
It's quite a nice arrangement as all I do is call up and say that I fancy a go at a roe or fallow buck, I'm given a choice of locations, we agree a date, I get a briefing on what animal(s) to take and any other relevant information about access times or farming/forestry activity and then off I go.
One of the stalkers did take the p*ss a bit last year when, knowing he was out on another estate not too far away, I phoned him to say I'd got a buck but I didn't want the venison. He asked me to drag it down a couple of fields to the road side and prepare the carcass, he then came round to get it and said that as I had got my hands and knife dirty I might as well do the other two he'd got in the Land Rover as well!!!
Accommodation is a difficult area as, let's face it, if you are roe stalking in the Summer, you will be in bed for only a very short time. We tend to use motels and we rent a room for no more than £100, more usually £50 and then up to four or five of us bunk up in sleeping bags on the floors when the beds are full. When we go down to Devon for the reds we stay in a stalker friendly pub for £30 B&B and a good steak and chips in the bar for about £15.
Taking all this into account, as I usually do an evening stalk followed by a morning stalk, I end up paying £120/£140 plus any venison for two outings, inlcuding accommodation.
