Intro and Hi from Perthshire

[jason.s]

Hi there,
My names Jason and at the ripe old age of 47 just discovered deer stalking having moved to Perthshire, Scotland.

Done my DSC1 with BASC in Dunkeld this year (2025) and looking for opportunities for guided stalks to learn more and any book recommendations on deer or rifle shooting.

Look forward to learning more from this community.

Cheers

Good luck.

Hi Jason, I think we did our DSC1 together back in February. Have you managed to get out yet? Cheers, Toby

We did indeed. How are you?

Hi Jason, ticking along ok. Got my FAC application in shortly after the DSC1 completed and applied for a 308 per Chris’s recommendation. FEO felt that was too much for the Borders which is where I mainly shoot so amended to a 6.5 creedmoor and a 223. I was happy not to argue and now have the 6.5 on order but being a lefty not likely to arrive before September. I also added the shotgun ticket at the same time and have recently bought a browning o/u and started popping clays. Finding it hard to get time to go fishing! How’re you settling into Perthshire? Been after salmon or stalking yet?

Tom,
That’s exceptionally generous and I’d welcome the opportunity (and I’m sure Toby would) to help out (I do not currently hold a FAC), or simply accompany to observe and gain experience on the stalk or lend a hand where needed.
I’ll drop you a PM
Cheers
Jason.
