Sign of the times gents, sign of the times

Makes me cringe some of the comments. One or two have been stalking 5 minutes in my book. You know who you are.
If you don't agree with the rules go and find some other forum to spout off.

I know both Glen (the owner of the business) and David (the agent). I'd bet my life on either of them.
Kind regards,
Carl

I know Glen and have dealt with him in the past. Never any issues.
One of the moaners on this threadvhas had his licence 3 or 4 years. Shot a CWD badly with me a couple of years or do back. Has all the gear and is now an expert in all stalking matters including to a certain extent big game too I believe.
Methinks some serious culling will be taking place on this site in the new year If this bull **** carries on.

We all know it’s your forum Malc but writing comments like that smacks of “its my ball and I’ll take it home if I want to“,attitude which your entitled to but don’t you think open ,non one sided debate is the foundation to all forums or is it the Malc way or the highway .Regardless of how long a lad has been stalking ,transparency in business is the key to anything in my book and the question has merely been asked why it appears to be obstructed here .
Without the freedom for customers to communicate I wouldn’t do a third of the work I do ,a third being word of mouth follow ons .
The whole thing maybe a fantastic deal but the selling point leaves a bit to be desired coming from a single outlet who has most to gain .
All that is required is a reference ,not too much to ask is it ?

At the moment I have an afternoon off from stalking whilst I am away from home. I don't get home until the 19th and yet I find myself dealing with site issues.
Heckling is Not allowed on the site it's in the rules. Furthermore if someone wants to run their business there own way its not up to you, me or anyone else to tell them how too.
From my own point of view if it was me I would tell them to mind their own f business.
If anyone don't like the look of the terms offered walk away. Some may like it others not. But we do not need a protracted thread with all and sundry chucking their oar in.

 

[foxdropper]

You need to chill a bit Malc ,writing that fast has fecked up your spelling lol.
I guess as it’s your ball,you are taking it home on this one lol,but was only an honest question by an honest lad who dosnt understand the need for anything other than full transparency .
If I’m heckling then apologies but would rather call it debate .
You enjoy your break from this atrocious weather mate and get yourself a drink or two

Can I make something very clear here , North Stalker was not talking about me. As I know North Stalker and he is a friend of mine, a number of members on here are members of our syndicates, I am not going to go through another year of who said this and that said what. We do have policies to protect our members and in fact I have had a number of our members tell me that they DO NOT want their information shared, many are businessmen in sectors that do not appreciate hunting of any sort and it is their right to choose who their friends are, so as a policy we just don't.

I try my best to sort people out with stalking if they are having blank days on their own properties then I will allow them to go elsewhere I have no issue with that.

I have also given 60 hours FREE stalking this year, so if someone says I don't do my bit seriously they are wrong.

 

[Tulloch]

Just to add yes I get a few complaints a year mainly from guys that expect deer to fall on their lap but most of the time I get nice emails like this

 

[North Stalker]

Tulloch is the agent mate.

Not for the ground I’m on about, I actually didn’t know him at the time I got shafted. Wish I did as I don’t think I’d have been robbed blind.

He’s a good Mate now.

Nobodies disputing you are a good guy David ,in fact nobodies having a go at all just a bit confused as to how to find out about the areas using means that are tried and tested as a selling platform namely references.
I’m not Scottish but money is hard earned here as with most and the horror stories abound up there about areas charged for that are virtually devoid of deer ,have been hammered or the deer use an area only briefly once a year .
The 60 free hours must be quite something for you to write it on here mate and I fully appreciate that ,out of a busy life .

With all the stalking I advertise , and guys on here will verify this, I allow all potential guns to come have a look at the grounds before they buy. I have in the past had a number of guys who have just walked away and that is 100% their right and I would NEVER argue with their decision on doing so. As far as giving out previous syndicate details it just opens us up to all sorts so I would never do it. We have lawyers, judges, police officers, politicians etc etc all on our books and for us to hand our their contact details then I could find myself in a lot of bother so we just don't do it.

I know, because I have, that I can go into any of our woods and almost every occasion either see or shoot a deer, but, if a person walks round a property and just feels it is not right for them all I need from them is a simple text saying "not for me sorry".

One thing I hate, and in fact trust me when I say this, is people that hum and haw til the very last minute and then say no, I NEVER hold places for people if a deadline is looming and you have not got back to me then I almost always have someone else ready to take the place.

You are welcome to phone me anytime, as with anyone that has questions, I openly advertise my own personal mobile number and I am always up for a chat.

As far as the 60 free hours go, Its about all I could spare and it is my way of giving something back to people who cannot afford stalking or who have no stalking but would like to get into it.
