Training

INTRODUCTION TO STALKING COURSE

This is not really a course at all; it is simply accompanied stalking catering for the complete novice or for someone with limited stalking experience. This is done a one to one basis, although we can do this for up to 4 people, which may be husband and wife or a group of friends.

For this activity 2 to 3 days are ideal but we do any combination to suit. Arrival is normally early afternoon on day 1 so we can go through firearms safety and then spend some time on the range making sure we have rifles zeroed. Estate rifles are available for guests to use. If time permits we then stalk that evening.

If we are successfull gralloching and larder techniques will be demonstrated and fully explained. Venison can be purchased to take home and butchered if required.

Sample course is on the web site, under packages.

DSC Level 1

We provide training for the DSC Level 1, the time required depends upon a particular individuals stalking experience; however we find that if a candidate is prepared to do some self study, a day or half day of briefing is probably sufficient to successfully complete the DSC Level 1.

You can also simply arrive and just take the DSC Level 1 assessment if you have prepared yourself, we can combine this with some accompanied stalking if required.

DSC Level 2

Our stalker is an Accredited Witness for the DSC Level 2 and training can be given to achieve the required standard. Along with witnessed outings for those who are ready to start completing the portfolio.

Firearms training

We are able to offer training in use of firearms and firearms safety and also help you to achieve those sought after tight groupings.

Butchery

We are able to show you how to skin and butcher deer for you own consumption. We have a fully equipped larder, cold room and meat preparation room, along with mincer and vacuum packer etc. We are able to butcher any deer you shoot for you to take away ' oven ready '.
