BASC currently has three deer stalking schemes in operation – Baronscourt (Northern Ireland), Bowland and East of England (near Newmarket).
The schemes have been developed to provide a variety of different deer stalking opportunities for members who wish to take up stalking and to provide those with limited access to stalking with the opportunity to gain practical experience and increase their knowledge.

It is your responsibility to know what you can and can’t shoot, and when, so make sure you bookmark this quarry season page.

The Deer Stalking Certificate (DSC1) is designed for shooters who have recently taken up stalking and are seeking further knowledge and guidance.
