James Richardson
"I have just completed the three-day Deer Stalking - Woodland Hunter course and want to thank you, Phil, for a one-in-a-kind weekend! You were very welcoming and easy to be around and your passion for all you do is really inspiring. I felt your knowledge was extensive but not overwhelming and your hands-on, practical approach to learning was really immersive. You led Jim and I through expert (and patient!) tuition on firearms safety, range shooting and several fully-focused stalks. And when we eventually took the life of that roe buck it felt like the furthest thing from 'blood sport'. The gralloching and butchery afterwards just affirmed the mindful and conscientious approach you take to deer management in your woodlands. As I drove home at the end of it all, with a bag of venison, I felt I had journeyed through an invaluable lesson in accountability as a meat-eater. It's good to know you're out there doing what you do!"

'The stalking workshop was even better than I expected. The course delves into the intricacies of deer ecology, rifle zeroing, balistics and maintanence, the gralloch, and my favorite part, the stalk. I have never felt such a profound feeling of presentness and connection to the natural world, as well as our ancestral past, than moving throughout the landscape to get close to quarry. Phils expert guidance has enabled me to witness the happenings of the woodland community to a degree I have never experienced before. I have learned so much about track and sign, as well as how local knowledge of deer behaviour is essential to a successful stalk. I can't recommend this course enough!'
