My own experience is what I based my comments on. Most of my stalking was in Scotland although I lived in South Oxfordshire. I did shoot and work on farms in those days. I also read Agriculture at Reading. None of my fellow students, nor any of the guns on the local shoots ever stalked, nor was there any stalking in the local area. There were very few deer about - no Roe, no muntjac. There were a few fallow down in Stonor Deer Park. Admittedly it was pre internet days, so what happened elsewhere was a complete mystery.
