Description

Deer stalking is a rapidly growing sport in Britain, offering an exciting challenge and the opportunity to explore some of the country's most beautiful landscapes. To succeed, however, requires a high level of knowledge and skill, which can only be acquired through experience and apprenticeship. This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the principles of deer stalking, covering topics such as rifle choice, optics, ammunition, safety, and the natural history of Britain's six species of wild deer. The author also discusses stalking tactics from both the perspective of an accompanied guest and an experienced hunter planning their own outing. The guide also covers essential aspects of deer handling, including butchering for home use, providing a practical resource for those looking to take up the sport.
