[QUOTE="SimonThePieman, post: 5669954, member: 91222"] I've been trying in vain for a long while to acquire some stalking ground, I can't compete with the blokes that will pay big money and the people who are working on handshakes and gentleman's agreements are obviously not interested as they're happy with the arrangement they have, which is fair enough. Be careful if you do decide to lease the rights, one thing I hear over and over is people who stitch up as many acres as they can (or can afford) and then don't shoot it, or save it all for clients who want a trophy and do nothing for the numbers or proper management. A bloke I know used to be an agent in the Cotswolds. The estate had enormous numbers of fallow but the stalking was let to a very highly paying syndicate. Of course, they weren't interested in getting out in the cold, dark winter months and hitting the does hard, and because they were paying handsomely for the right to stalk there, they were also paying for the right NOT to bother when it didn't suit them.
