Making use of natural support helps keep a steady hand.

We have designed special courses for hunters who want to learn about deer stalking in Scotland.

These are run from 21st October until mid-March and last 4-5 days. Each course includes 2 deer hunting outings per day, fully accompanied by a stalker.

Essential topics covered include:
	Species identification and seasons
	Firearm safety and target practice
	Clothing and equipment
	Fieldcraft and management

The courses represent a good introduction for those who may want to go on and apply for a British Deer Society Level 1 course.

Our intention is to share the passion for stalking with those who enjoy truly wild country sports with the unpredictability that it brings.

That passion was once summed up by a hunting colleague from Poland - 'there are only two types of days to go hunting: good ones and really good ones!'

Keeping low on open ground helps to keep you hidden and gives you a more stable shot.

High seats are invaluable in woodland.
