All I have to do is go beating and I get paid with free stalking and ,as I’m under eighteen, get to keep my rifle at my mates house along with the mentoring.
Putting somebody for the first time to shoot a deer in a highseat is good way to start. Getting somebody to built their own free standing high seat and getting them to install themselves it is better. Getting someone to realise they put it in the wrong spot and they have to move it themselves is the best. Talking a noobie stalker down a hedge row to see a deer on the edge of the paddock is cool. Talking a stalker into the woodland and stalking the deer where they can only see 50 yards is better.
warren smit what’s your location? If you are in the Surrey or west London area get yourself over to Bisley. Several clubs do Practical Shotgun, including the NRA itself or clubs like the Old Sergeants Mess. For Essex or east London try Harlow Rifle Pistol club, who are nowadays based in Dartford. Otherwise look at the UKPSA website.
None by law, we do have a set of recommended tests - the Deer Stalking Certificates which are useful. Hey! I bought that jacket 15 years ago, when real tree was still cool!
Love it when people call bullets, “heads”...it’s especially great when a gun shop calls them “heads”. It’s almost as if you don’t know what the correct terminology is for a bullet and the various components that make up a cartridge. Too many people out there get given the wrong information from shooters, gun shops/RFD’s and Police. This leads to very misinformed shooters.
I can’t see why shooters get upset when people call the bullets or projectiles heads, everyone knows what they mean. We call loaded ammunition, factory ammo, cartridges, bullets, ammunition, rounds and possibly more but nobody gets uptight so why when they call the projectile head?
Great video. I'm slightly surprised you didnt mention DSC1 & 2. Getting on a DSC course is a great way to get experience deer stalking.
You should take us on a deer stalk with you!
Excellent video as always TGS !

Do you get to keep the beast once you've despatched it
Yep but you pay
