Dac9976 Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 Hi all Thinking about treating myself to a nice trophy Roe buck this years as I've never bagged a trophy of any sort. Roe deer are my favourite species to stalk. So my question is, has any one got any good recommendations for payed Roe stalking? Cheers Danny.

DW58 Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 I could certainly point you in the direction of a very good stalker/ground, however it's in NE Scotland (Speyside) - guess it depends how far you wish to travel. PM me if you want further details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronin Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 You want a challenging stalk, go for Reds or Sika stag - far more worthy quarry…... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gun nut Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 Disagree Ronin, a really good Roe buck is as worthy an opponent as any of them, I've managed a good Red, my main quarry are Sika, and I love hunting Munties but a really nice roebuck, well stalked, has to be near the pinnacle of our sport in the UK. Just my humble opinion Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offroad Gary Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 Roebuck stalking is simple. The trick is knowing the deer managers with the good ones (and then being able to afford one!)... No point paying for an armed ramble.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cumbrian 1 Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 Regardless of species they can all be hard or easy to stalk and this depends upon A) The terrain, B Time of year i.e. rut, and C) The hunting pressure on the ground. I have a friend in Wicklow who is a large landowner he kindly left a large chunk of ground alone for quite while before I visited and inbetween sunrise and sunset he managed to get me 11 stags, one was shot whilst we were having a cup of tea in his house and it came out to feed on the opposite hill around midday.

tackb Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 You want a challenging stalk, go for Reds or Sika stag - far more worthy quarry…... sika and munti's are the toughest to actually stalk in my experience (not high seat) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbal Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 Gary, "armed ramble" is a wonderful phrase....we've all been there... It would be a shame to waste the concept : perhaps it could serve a niche market ( for non blaser owners),carrying an unloaded rifle in very acceptable safety. :-) Homage to Mark Twain: "Golf is a good walk,spoiled." g Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dac9976 Posted March 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 sika and munti's are the toughest to actually stalk in my experience (not high seat) I've not done Sika yet, on my list:) Bagged a few munties , a great stalk but for me Roe bucks are my favourite. Each to their own. Cheers Danny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DW58 Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 To my taste, you can't beat moorland/hill Roe - cunning little blighters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 Well chaps, everybody to their own, but I recon all deer stalking is great, nothing better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon J Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 To my taste, you can't beat moorland/hill Roe - cunning little blighters. From my minimal experience, I could not quite agree, though I did work hard on the two roe buck stalks I've done, for one buck in Strath Oykel, but boy have I worked hard on most of my red hind stalking in Assynt, walking miles and crawling or bellying hundreds of yards in the final approach through the bog, though even then 3 of mine were shot off the bonnet of an argo they were that close to the track! So I guess it all depends on fortune, as hunting should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DW58 Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 Well, I first stalked moorland Roe in 1987 and many since although not in recent years owing to ill health. Access to great stalking ground in Moray, Banffshire and Nairn gave me the taste for this type of stalking. Don't get me wrong, I'm just as happy on arable land or woodland, but moorland is my choice. Good job we're all different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CZ Varminter Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 To my taste, you can't beat moorland/hill Roe - cunning little blighters. Shot three yesterday in this environment not cunning enough. Would have shot more but taking three of hill was bad enough. CZV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DW58 Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 Yes, taking more than you can carry/drag on high ground can be bad for you. Once took out five in one go, took the first two down to the vehicle, and then went back up and like a fool decided to take the final three in one go, my back didn't like it too much and kept me out of action for a while..
