Just had a lovely afternoon today, stalking with Heppy123, resulting in two deer to top up our freezer. Even when the weather is dreekit, like today, it was a pleasure with such a lovely gentleman as your guide.

I would recommend Heppy123 for anyone else looking for a productive stalk in the Borders: he manages 14,500 acres that is hoachin with deer.

Sounds good - did it cost much?

Uh, sorry. You are using words I don't understand.
Can you enlighten me?

It cost just what Heppy123 said it would, in the third post in this thread. A bargain, except when I go to Australia (CBH Australia post below you), my stalks are free Looking forward to New Zealand where the beasts are bigger! Just need a bigger house for the wall mounts.

Nice gentleman have nice and simple prices, and I did say Heppy123 was a gent.

Heppy123 charges his fixed price for a stalk, and the fixed £50 for each deer, whether it is a doe, a buck, a gold medal buck, or a monster, all the same (low) price, whether you take one or ten. The farmers want the deer numbers reduced and don't care if it is one with no points, or six points, that are eating the broccoli. There are so many deer, one can pick which one to shoot. If you want a specimen, go in the morning when it is light enough to work out who is who, and when the sky is not dumping its load on you at the same time.

Uh, sorry. You are using words I don't understand.

Dreekit = typical winter weather in Scotland. Wet being an understated word, coupled with fog and cold. Typical winter weather that is when it is not brass monkeys, or a "wee bit fresh breeze" which in Scotland means 100mph+.
"is Hoachin", is hard to translate, "are bursting at the seams", or "are packed full" roughly. Example using it, "that dug is hoachin with fleas", or "Heppy123's land is hoachin with deer".

Thanks @AlexD I would never have got that . I don't think I would like the weather either.
I will be starting a thread somewhere about visiting as a hunter

You would enjoy it, summer or winter. Winter makes for a memorable experience. Akin to when I took my wife to Lightning Ridge at the end of January once. She opened the car door to a 50C blast from the outback oven, looked at the peeling white of the shiplap settler's house I had rented, and said "You brought me from those beautiful luxury hotels in Sydney, to this?", to which my reply was "This is the real Australia and you'll find this is the best part of the trip, and by the way, it has no air-con and the lady who owns it rang me to say the electricity is out." One has to live dangerously sometimes to appreciate life. Thankfully, it was indeed the best part of the trip for her and she longs to go back. A lovely old lady, who owned the house lived next door, was delighted when I fixed the electricity the next morning, fortunately in town they had new circuit breakers and things. Wet towels on your back, who needs air-con, right? You'll find Scotland the same way for stalking, though at a different end of the temperature range.

Whether coming in winter or summer, worth popping into a highland outfitter first for everything from wellies to tweed or go for the bargain waterproof camo stuff at Decathlon. Add midge repellant to that in the summer.

Your series on the NZ beasts is good. Thanks, just looked at it now when searching for that visitor thread you mentioned.

I'm closer to a place called White Cliffs that is similar to Lightning Ridge. It's the last frontier.
I will add that a small place called Silverton is a great tourist destination. It's known worldwide due to being a filming location. There is an Englishman who moved there to start the Mad Max museum.

Hi, I’m interested in arranging some stalking with you. Could you accommodate an afternoon stalk followed by a morning stalk - I would plan to drive up in my motorhome and hopefully find somewhere to park up and stay overnight. Would this work for you? I have my own rifle. Cheers Gerry

Hi there, I’m up in Glasgow-could you confirm available dates in January and nearest town for directions/journey time etc? Thanks.

A quick shout out to Heppy 123 for a cracking day yesterday. Full day’s proper stalking (not a high seat in sight). Plenty of Roe about and finished the day with enough to fill my freezer (and my daughter’s). Can’t recommend him enough; lots of ground to shoot over; very knowledgeable and patient with a newbie like me. If only he could control the weather……. it was dreekit all day but it didn’t spoil the experience. If you want proper stalking at very competitive prices then Heppy 123 is your man.

I have an opening this coming Saturday for am and/or pm stalks.
I can offer this at £140 for the two stalks and the usual £50 per animal as running out of time to hit cull targets.
