Deer Stalking… reliable word of mouth recommendation from someone you know has undertaken such stalking being offered by a specific syndicate is best. Like other walks of life, stalking has its scammers. E.G., make sure there is deer, of the species sought, on the land being made available; that appropriate insurance is in place; that there is recourse for recompense if it all goes wrong. In addition, obtain and understand terms and conditions; consider the implications of allowing a syndicate leader to be a FAC mentor; make sure ‘coaches’ are suitably qualified; consider the quality of deer management, the construction & execution of a shooting plan and safety; determine if the land is over-shot.

If in doubt, contact BASC or similar.

Nope, it's too f*** stupid!

The only statement i'll make is that the twats in the video are scum; not stalkers/hunters and i'd much rather shoot them than the deer. Unfortunately you get them in every blood sport - those who deliberately take and kill undersized fish, small dick'd tossers who set up and shoot rabbits with .243, 22-250, 308, etc. For them it's about compensating their lack of manhood by killing.

Great big hunter must be truly great if he can blow out the chest of a deer and ruin the carcass with a 50cal. Spunkmonkeys!

Not bad for an 'only statement' :clap:

Seriously though Scotsgun; what's your opinion on head shots? (bear with me...i know this thread is p*** you off, but it's a genuine question..)

I take head shots all the time. I also take neck shots and boiler house shots. It's about whether i'm stalking or culling, about the behaviour of the animal, how 'animated' it is at time of shot, range and conditions. More importantly its about my capabilities, or rather my limitations and being mature enough to realise them.
