"The Dromia Rule"
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.

Re: Diary of a Test Valley river keeper.
This is really good reading and Otis is lovely!
Thank you, Jenks, for posting the link.
I have since reading the blog found out that this river is apparently the birthplace of fly fishing.

Yes, Chris has a good writing style. Mind you I wasn't best pleased by this reference to me in week 51/ 2008.
At the start of the week we had a crack at the ducks, my employer’s son and grandson along with an elderly gent from the village.
Elderly Gent indeed. :shock:
As you say Otis (Redding) is a lovely dog. As was his last Labrador, Zebo. Jenks
Re: Diary of a Test Valley river keeper.
It is a good blog and I have enjoyed what I have read so far and Elderly Gent is quite a dignified description. At least he did not say ‘An old chap also tagged along but was mostly eyeing up the trees on the riverside whilst clutching a rule’ :lol:

Hi Jenks, I've been reading this as well and find it a great read though not finished yet. As for the elderly gent thing, nothing wrong with that mate, at least he didn't call you some old guy.
