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.
Years ago someone I know attached a 12 bore cartridge to the end of a bolt, leant out of the back door and fired it from a crossbow at the wall opposite. It went bang and came back probably as fast as it had left, narrowly missed him and carried on into the office behind scaring the hell out of one of the office girls. Fortunate nobody was injured.
