Stalking & Accommodation

[bowji john]

This will not appeal to all members here, however new for 2017 - in conjunction with our 'Bushman' Course and game prep courses (or indeed for those just hanging out with us on a weekend get away) - we can now offer accompanied stalking.

We have access to 30,000 acres and highly skilled guides that can take the experienced hunter or a complete novice (even those without a firearms cert) through the whole process from field to butchery and on to the table.

For those wanting a bit of comfort we can offer chalet accommodation suitable for a couple and up to 2 children

Stalks vary from £60 to £75 per outing

Chalet prices vary from £350 and £575 per week

Merry Xmas all

John

Happy New Year everyone

As promised here is an update on stalking and butchery courses etc

As stand alone courses we are offering ....

1 . Butchery day - (Grallocking and butchery) and half a carcass to take home : £120.

Dates to be determined yet but will be from March

2. Stalking (with an initial 9 shot shooting test) : £85

Available from Feb 1st

You will not be permitted to shoot unless you can demonstrate adequate marksmanship prior to going out. This will only be required once - thereafter - for subsequent stalks - zeroing will be performed merely to ensure the rifle is sighted in

3. Stalking (without shooting test) £75

Available from Feb 1st

4. Day of firearms training £100

Aimed at those with some or no experience - this one day course (covering rim fire and center fire) will provide entry level skills sufficient to meet the stalking test requirements

Run on Home Office approved range

All the above are available as standalone packages - however if you are new to this discipline and / or wish to brush up on your skills or live some distance a way, we are offering a residential weekend package

5. Residential Package (Dates to be determined from April onward)

Weekend runs from Friday afternoon until Sunday evening

Course covers:

Day of firearms training (on Home Office registered range)
Fire arms safety training and deer behavior / recognition
Butchery day (Grallocking and butchery) and half a carcass to take home
Food provided

Bring your own tent, sleeping bag and suitable clothing.

Chalet accommodation is available as an extra

Price £275.00

Max number on course 10

As there is so much to cover on the course, stalking can be arranged on different dates at the £75.00 rate. However successful completion of this course is sufficient to exempt you from the shooting test.

It will also be a very useful stepping stone towards the stuff you would cover on a DSC1 course (Note DSC1 is an entirely separate course with its own course providers)

Thanks for the update. Whereabouts would this be happening? Is this in Cornwall or Devon? Just for planning purposes where would the camping be?
All the best.

Hi Russ

I have a Bushcraft School on my own land down here in Cornwall (near Newquay)

Camping is either along the river bank or on our open fields next to the woodland area (you can see pics of it if you follow the faceache link in my footer)

My land is cleared for shooting and 'zeroing' but you need home office approval for running a range - I don't have that so we go to a specialist site on Bodmin moor

Stalking is conducted all around the Wadebridge / Newquay area
