Avoiding issues that arise in association with deer via non-lethal methods, are not a long term solutions. Their numbers are ever increasing. Instead of demonizing shooting folk in the UK, we should be promoting them, bringing new members into deer stalking, promoting more local venison, shooting more deer and praising those that keep a balance for all our wildlife on a daily basis. We should be educating the next generations on responsible countryside management, closing the disconnect in today’s society.

Between species who thrive beyond natural numbers (such as foxes, corvids, pigeons, rabbits…) and those who have a hard time adapting in the modern sculpture of our landscape (like ground nesting birds, pollinators, red squirrels, butterflies…), deer are somewhere in the middle for the most part. They tend to thrive in most of our countryside and the estimated deer population of the UK is the highest it has ever been at any point before, as it is in many other countries and continents.

Deer stalking (or deer hunting for any non UK English speakers) is a thrilling experience and in our core we share the very same emotions, goosebumps, respect and gratitude as our earliest ancestors had. The fact of the matter is being part of this cycle and eating what we have hunted ourselves is such a fulfilling sensation. We know exactly where our food comes from. An article in 3 parts

Andrew had come stalking with Chiltern Sporting over a weekend and had learned a lot over a couple of blank sessions. Pleased with the whole experience, they had come again and fortunately for Andrew the tables had turned and we were able to lead him onto a roe buck, which he harvested calmly, in a calculated manner. He kindly left us a few heart warming lines for us to share

Steve is a seasoned hunter and an avid field to fork enthusiast. Last winter season, Steve had come through Chiltern Sporting for a chinese water deer. He had kindly left us a little message to publish, here it is in his own words :

I’ve had the opportunity over the years to shoot with a number of guides for both pigeon shooting/control and also for deer stalking.

Yet I’ve always gone back to Tom and company at Chiltern Sporting for a number of simple reasons - professionalism, knowledge of their quarry, nice guys and the fantastic countryside over which they shoot.

A few months ago, Richard had his first deer stalking experience with one of Chiltern Sporting’s guides, Henry. He happily left review of his experience with us and we are very proud to share it with you. Here is his story told in his own words
