DEER STALKING SYNDICATE.
Do I need a deer stalking qualification (ie PDS1 or DSC1)
No, We accept beginners and will train and mentor you on your new hunting career. If you have experience that is great, but you will need to provide proof before you can stalk unaccompanied on our leased grounds. We encourage and subsidise our members to obtain formal nationally recognised deer stalking qualifications (PDS1 and DSC1) and run a range of tailored in-house courses to further develop your hunting knowledge and experience. The syndicate will refund you £50 upon successful completion of the PDS1 or DSC1, or any of our one day in-house courses. For further details on our training programme click here. Our aim is to be a one stop shop for all your stalking needs.
Do you have a management plan?
Yes, Firstly we have to protect our land and maintain a sensible stock of Deer that we can cull every year. And it’s important you report deer kills and their condition every time.and at any given opportunity please photograph your kill with empathy, and complete a basic report supplied to you even if its a no show.
Can I take a guest? Do you need to be suitably experienced to supervise someone?
You can take a guest only with HO approval and only once per annum and you may share a rifle and he has to use your rifle allocation on the ground that day the member needs to ensure he has a dated letter allowing spouse/friend/relative to shoot on his membership.No Fee will be charged your on trust.
