Cheers, hope you have deep pockets or good connections if you want to come stalking here. If there is a good bit of ground you can bet its already been spoken for. Island that I am on in the Western Isles is government owned but someone has the sporting rights for stags and billys. He charges £600 a stag and £750 per billy. Would never pay that kind of money.

On the other hand, the Scottish government is treating red deer like it is a non-native vermin. Thinly disguised way for the socialist government to get back at hunters, who they presume are all aristocrats. In the meantime the cullers are having a great time getting paid £100 per deer they bring in but the well will run dry very soon. They are even considering legalising night vision and thermal rifle scopes for shooting deer at night.

Sadly, that sounds a bit familiar.
