shootingbags Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 If you contact the Forestry Commission at Birches Valley ( this is where Peter Pursglove is based ) , you can pay for 'permit stalking' . You cannot go unnaccompanied but go round with a ranger such as Peter. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotch_egg Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 I enquired a couple of years ago. If I'm honest the prices were crazy. I've just checked my e-mails and can't find the contact details I thought I'd saved. Let us know if the prices have come down and if you go. regards Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alycidon Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 Got a feeling that a well known recent ex member used to stalk that area, are there some good red stags there ?. Thing is I doubt very much he paid much so there may be something cheaper in the area. A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redfox Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 I have heard that there are wooded areas on the outskirts of Cannock forest that do stalking at more sensible prices, but sadly I have no more info, it needs a bit of research and asking round, any decent reds are for the big payers only in all forest areas. There is day stalking in the lakes in Grizedale forest but again not cheap, then there is trophy fees and fines for misses and bigger fines for one that runs and even bigger fines if it runs and cant be found!!

Alycidon Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 That sounds complicated but I suppose a reason to take plenty of gun. A friend now takes a 30.06 on red hinds on the hills as he found that .243 lacked the knock down power. I suspect it was more about shot placement.

Redfox Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 Well I could say its all about reaming you for more money. But knowing the head ranger at Grizedale for years and listening to the stories of people who came stalking it isnt really, they have to pay the rangers wages and stalking is only a part of their duties, so when people foul up and the deer clears of taking several hours to find, it has to be paid for. I agree placement is everything, a miss with a big cal is just the same a s amiss with a little one, although I would be happy enough with the 6.5 or 270 on reds, not had any runners with those ( 300WM is even better for the bigger farther out ones referring to another post) Redfox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest sniper#1 Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 As its the main office number would agree its only weekdays.Redfox hi guys.I did my level one and two with pete and can only say he was nothing but helpfull and obviously very knowledgable.he has other stalking available mostly fallow for reasonable costs.I have done permit stalking with others and am in a couple of syndicates at present and have to say that stalking ,with the cost of fuel,accommodation,food plus your membership fees or permit/outing fees stalking is not a cheap sport yet is still quite difficult to obtain unless you meet the right people.keep trying pete(i sometimes have to call him several times before i get him) and i,m sure he will help you out if he can.all the best #1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zaitsev Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 Indeed Peter Purseglove has some stalking on land near Cannock through his private company called (I think) Mercia Deer Management or similar. Two or three years ago there were several very good stags with the herd of reds there. Now they have all dissapeared. Its a mystery to me where they could all have gone while the numbers of hinds and calves seem undiminished. Local newspapers published some comments from the land owner referring to the ethos of the cull and saying that 'several stags had been removed to control the population'. I just can't work out what has happened. Can anyone else give me some suggestions?? z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratwhiskers Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 Z. lt could be 'awt mate, over exploitation of trophies and a piss poor cull dynamic or thievin' pikeys or old mature animals dying out due to desease/winter starvation.... take your pick the list could be endless.....
