We have designed special courses for hunters who want to learn
about deer stalking in Scotland.
These are run from 21st October until mid-March and last 4-5
days. Each course includes 2 deer hunting outings per day, fully accompanied
by a stalker.
| Essential topics covered include: |
 |
Species identification and seasons |
|
Firearm safety and target practice |
|
Clothing and equipment |
|
Fieldcraft and management |
The courses represent a good introduction for those who may want
to go on and apply for a British Deer Society Level 1 course.
Our intention is to share the passion for stalking with those
who enjoy truly wild country sports with the unpredictability that
it brings.
That passion was once summed up by a hunting colleague from Poland
- 'there are only two types of days to go hunting: good ones and
really good ones!'

| Keeping low on open ground helps to
keep you hidden and gives you a more stable shot. |

|
 |
| High seats are invaluable in woodland. |
