Hi guys,
I'm going to be in the UK July next year and thought it would be cool to have a crack at a Roe buck. Does any one have any experience with any reasonably priced guides that could get me in to one? I wouldn't be looking for big hank, just something with a bit of antler.
Cheers,
Josh
Any general advice about guided hunts, what to take, expected costs etc would be good too. It'll be a first for me!
Get a hold of @Sideshow
Following
One of my kids is guiding over there now.
She will be home next weekend. So if you PM me your details I'll get her to contact you with some options.
Don't rule out stalking muntjac deer too. They are fascinating little things - always busy, easy to handle, and great to eat. They can be called too, which makes it fun.
And Chinese water deer.
Depending on location, I may be able to sort a a good contact to take you out for nowt
Those girls get around. Living the life.Quote:

Thanks Gibo and 7mmwsm, I'll follow that up. Pengy, I'll touch base with you too. My yorkshire heritage likes the sound of nowt :-)
Borrowed this from Accurate Reloading, another site I frequent. This outfitter provides UK hunts. Just another option if you are checking out outfitters. Seems to have a reasonable name but please do your own homework.Quote:

Join the UK equivalent of this forum...The Stalking Directory....introduce yerself and ask for help finding a guide...if you can maybe offer help in return for hooking UK folk up with hunting in NZ i am sure you will get a few offers to stalk come your way.
Roe are a beautiful deer and are not difficult to hunt....It get's light in July bloody early....most guides charge per outing....probably around £200 for 4 or 5 hours....You really want to be on the ground at 4am and if you are out in the evening you could be taking a shot up to around 10pm.
Medal bucks can be expensive but if you are going out on a paid hunt make sure you have a discussion about costs well in advance. Loads of Roe in Scotland but very few in Wales. Some paid stalks may involve simply sitting in a high seat....plenty of flies and midges about so be prepared to get repellent and a cheap as chips midge face veil thingy....last thing you want is to be uncomfortable and having to make unnecessary hand movements swatting beasties away....

Tha'ts a cracking Scottish buck...
July is the Roe rut, don’t forget to tip your Stalker/ Guide.
As a general rule you won’t get any of Venison without paying per kilo.

Another nice buck...one day i will get my act together and post some more photos...other great thing about Roe is that you will often see them in crazy places such as smack bang in the middle of Glasgow....
That is choiceQuote:

But also many good!
I used to hunt Muntjac in India almost 40 years ago. They are challenging - shy and sulking. They do not walk out into the open like Roe deer or fallow.
Off that’s a solid Muntjac buckQuote:

All hunts have been organised through family. So unfortunately, I can't help with contacts.
