Good afternoon All

I hope this is ok posted in this section?

I wondered if anyone can personally recommend somewhere for paid stalking for a beginner?

I already have my FAC but at present it is for target shooting only, I have spoken with my FEO and he says if I get DSC1 booked and some stalking days booked he could look at opening up my ticket.

I would rather do a few paid stalks using an estate rifle rather than rushing to buy something that’s not right for the job and I would also like to experience stalking before going any further with DSC1 etc, I have purchased the BDS training manual and am working my way through that at present.

I have experience in other areas of hunting but only small game

Thanks for reading
Kind regards
Luke

How far away are you from say the Beverley / Driffield area?

I was in a similar position to you 12 months ago, loads of rifle experience vermin / game shooting but little deer or stalking knowledge.

A friend invited me to go with him to Scotland on the hinds in Feb this year and I got the bug.

I did my DSC1 March this year, and it was extremely useful in terms of technical knowledge and building confidence. However, there is no substitute to learning from or actually getting out in the field with an experienced seasoned mentor. I am very grateful to the people who have guided me. I have now started stalking regularly alone and have enjoyed the last 6 months learning the art of stalking munties.

It is certainly a rewarding thing to get into and a great way to enjoy the countryside, whilst filling your freezer with a superb product.

Best of luck, I hope you are as fortunate as i have been over the last 12 months.
