I stopped stalking deer when they brought it in on some forestry I was in.

I remember it coming in just after the handgun ban. Thousands of handgunners thought ooh paper work...easy peasy. Then they had to drag their first beast out! That was the end of them!! Oh look, no one deer stalking anymore, well I never!

I’m 90% sure that if you want to shoot it to sell to a game dealer you must have dsc at least you do around these parts, but if it’s for yourself you don’t need one on private land or where you have permission, I’ve never bothered with it and a few proper stalkers I know don’t have it, the people I know that do, sell to game dealers or think a bit of paper makes them look like they know what they are doing

It's just one of those itches you got to scratch.

Of course it doesn't stop there. Then there is the muzzleloaders!

To sell to game dealers you only need a hunter number. You can get that by doing your game meat hygiene certificate, a one day course through NGO. DSC courses offer this as part of the 3, I think, day course for a lot more money.

If you are a total novice then perhaps the DSC course is worthwhile but you'd be far better finding someone to mentor you as there is only so much a course can teach you. Experience is far more valuable. I have met stalkers with all 3 level of DSC qualifications who have only ever shot a handful of deer.

I shoot and sell a fair number of deer and haven't done any DSC courses.

No you don’t Mitch 

tell FEO that carcasses will be going to farmer or personal consumption 

and of course it’s a 243 in England

you will need a letter from the land owners confirming you have permission 

but that’s on your vereation form 

good luck ?
