Deer stalking is widely regarded as the fastest growing sector
within shooting sports in Britain today. Those who stalk deer for
sport recognise and appreciate the exciting challenge that comes
from hunting a wild and wary quarry, moreover, they enjoy the
opportunity to participate in a sport that can take them to some of
Britain's wildest and most beautiful places, from the hushed calm
of an ancient English forest at dawn, to the magnificence of the
Scottish hill. Successful stalking, however, demands a high level
of knowledge and skill. Much of this can only be learned through
long hours of apprenticeship and experience. This book provides a
basic grounding in the principles which the newcomer to the sport
needs to know in order to enjoy a safe, successful and responsible
stalking career. The author explains the history, background and
rationale behind deer stalking in the UK, covers the choice of
stalking rifles, optics, ammunition and accessories, and deals with
the all-important issue of safety. The law related to firearms and
deer is covered in detail, together with guidance on firearm
security in the home and when travelling, while the natural history
of Britain's six species of wild deer is described, with notes and
illustrations to assist with recognition. Stalking tactics are
discussed and explained from the perspective both of the stalking
guest who is accompanied by a professional guide and of the more
experienced hunter whose responsibility it is to plan and execute a
woodland stalking outing on his own. Finally, the book deals with
what the stalker must do should his day meet with success, from the
gralloch and preparation of the carcass for the game dealer,
through to butchering for the home kitchen. Here is a book to which
the amateur deer stalker will want to refer time and time again.
