Wanted: Looking for land to stalk/manage Aberdeenshire,Scotland

[WEE-BUCK]

Hi I am looking for land in Aberdeenshire to stalk/ manage deer. I’m 27 and keen. I’m happy to share as I am inexperienced and also looking for a mentor. If you know anyone that fits the description let me know. Thanks

Welcome, and good luck in your quest. A lot from Aberdeenshire around here, but finding ground is hard work. Best be prepared to visit many a farm, offering your services to control vermin and hope to get a foot in the door that way.
All the best !

JJ welcome to the forum and be prepared for a long wait before you find what you are looking for,,, as Malxwell says ,,,be prepared to visit many a farm to offer your services as vermin control, to hopefully " get your foot in the door" invest in a half way decent pcp air rifle and some kind of night vision as rat control inside buildings is a good way to get a start, also helps with pigeon control inside buildings
Good luck with your search
Cheers
Ray

Thanks guys. Have already started to ask around. Fingers crossed it works out.

I'd second what others have said about pest control and building relationships with farmers - it's hard work and knock-backs cab be a bit demoralising but as soon as you have permission to shoot one farm I've found you'll often pick up others nearby. Good luck.
