    I hear that it's a bit warmer down there, possibly a bit more rainy too. Would love to visit but that will have to wait a few years due to finances!

    I get my little bit of stalking free from local landowners that are happy for deer numbers to be kept in check. Lots of people pay for stalking also.
    That's no good. 200 bucks per deer is probably expensive enough that it'd be cheaper just to buy it without the hassle of stalking them.

    Or ski resorts in your case MB.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Cheers, mate. Worked on a sheep and cattle farm in Strathnairn (not far from Dalwhinnie) about 10 years back when I first arrived here. Still shoot the odd Sika over that way
