LordGamebore 0 Posted April 13, 2010 Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 Hi, Ok, I'm now wanting to try my first stalk, hopefully for a Muntjac buck. I live in Leicestershire and don't own an FAC, although I have been shooting shotguns and air rifles since I was 8(now 19.) I have used centerfire and rimfire rifles in the past, including a 308 Lee Enfield, so I would say I know the basics of rifle shooting. If anyone could point me in the right direction I'd be very grateful. I'm looking to stalk around July/August time. Cheers... Quote Link to post

If you would like a trophy as a result of your stalk that's probably not the best time to stalk bucks as there is a good chance most of the bucks may still be in velvet at that time, not only that you will be struggling to see them due to the summer growth, may l suggest winter and early spring would be your best time.

I'm not to bothered about a trophy as such. I just wan't something lol. I was thinking Roe, but they tend to be on the expensive side. I'm new to stalking so I don't know what to go for.

There can be some reasonable deals to be had during the winter for hinds and does with a little searching l am sure you will find something, if not PM me at the end of the summer if you ain't sorted anything, l may be able to help or point you in the right direction.
