Deer stalking is a fast growing sport but many do not know how or where to start. Our introductory course are designed to show beginners what it is all about and provide them with the confidence to move forward and take it up full time. We will talk to you about firearms and safety, bullet placement and target practice, animal recognition and differentiating sexes, anatomy, filedcraft and butchering. Course length is 4 days which we have found over the years to be a worthwhile number of days given it is our intention to place you in front of as many deer as possible, probably the most important aspect for confident, competent shooting.

If you are interested you require very little of your own kit as we provide most things. We have the rifles, vehicles, land permissions and carcass handling infrastructure along with fully equipped butchering department. You require walking boots, waterproof overtrousers, hat & gloves, that’s it - I always stress that cammo clothing is not required.
