Ok, so it's not really a stalk in the purist sense of the word as the deer are within an enclosed area, and it's not really free as you'll be expected to pay for the carcass, but at least the headline got you looking!
So, here's the deal:
I'm offering for someone who's not yet shot their first deer to come and cull a fallow pricket within the relatively controlled environment of one of my deer parks. (When I say "controlled" I mean that in so far as if something goes badly wrong we will be able to sort it out without risk of losing a wounded animal. The actual stalk will be no different from stalking a wild deer, and just as challenging).
I'll then teach you how to gralloch it, and we'll put it in my chiller.
A few days later, under my tuition, you'll learn to butcher the whole thing and it will all be vac packed and labelled for you to take home. If there's time we can make some burgers too.
For the period that it's hanging, you could either enjoy a few days break in this fantastic area (there's loads of places to stay, and some good campsites, or if you're into wild camping I could probably find you a place on the farm) or, if you don't live too far away, you could go home after shooting the deer and come back another day to butcher it.
Estate rifle available, or you'd be welcome to bring your own.
Some prior rifle shooting experience needed, and preferably DSC1, as there are some important considerations such as limited backstops and close proximity of footpaths that would be better handled by someone with a bit of experience.
Own insurance required (eg, BASC membership) as you're not coming as a paying client.
The price of the carcass will be more than game dealer price, but less than half the value of the venison you'll be taking home. (More details by PM).
If interested, drop me a PM with a bit of background info. I'll do a draw out of all the suitable applicants.
Standard SD 30 days / 30 posts rule applies.
Please title your PM "stalk offer", so I can easily identify it among other, non-related, messages.
Dates to be mutually agreed, but probably early or mid September.
Any questions, just ask.
As with any stalking situation, there is no guarantee that you will get a deer, although I can at least guarantee that you'll see some! In the event that the stalk is unsuccessful you will be able to come back another time and try again.
