Hi everyone,
I'm a complete newbie but really keen to get into deer stalking. Ive got some experience with target rifles and have a Shotgun license. Never been on a stalk and have not done any of the DSC1 or other courses yet.
Looking online there are so many options (mostly crazy expensive) to buy into syndicates or guides stalks upwards of £300.
If there is anyone around the High Wycombe area looking for some company one day on a stalk I would be over the moon.
Over the next week's I'm sure I'll be asking for some advice as to what do next but I think going out on a stalk would be an obvious next step?
Even if I don't get to hold a rifle... Just being out for the day learning would be a great experience.
I'm a South African guy that's lived in the UK for the last 22 years. My wife has horses so will never be able to win an argument as to how much I spend on my new hobby

Welcome. What are the deer populations like round High Wycombe. I grew up round there in the 90s don’t recall ever seeing one, but then I wasn’t looking and I guess numbers have exploded everywhere.

I'm not sure on exact numbers but I have seen quite a few on the golf course in Burnham. We also see a lot of Muntjac around.
Hopefully someone local with knowledge can give some better information.

Lots of muntjac and fallow when I was living there.

Uhhhh

Feel like the gatecrasher at a party but that Amersham/Tring bit of the chilterns is about the nearest decent bit of green to me and I'm always out there often teaching kids how to read a map or put up a tent so if there's a chance I could join I'll be there
