The stalking we offer is part of a selective cull and are all guided by our estate deer stalker.

Stalking on the estate is an all day affair normally starting at 9 to 9.30am, finishing when either there has been a successful shot or when sufficient daylight remains to walk back to your transport. If you are to enjoy this form of stalking to its optimum, then a high degree of fitness is required.
