Countryside Alliance Ireland - love the countryside

We wish to inform our members that it is the intention of the British Deer Society to arrange a Deer Management Course in West Tyrone in either October or November 2011.

The British Deer Society is kindly making a number of places available to Countryside Alliance Ireland members on this course. 

The BDS Deer Management course is aimed primarily at stalkers, landowners and managers who would usually be the 'decision makers' concerning deer management issues appertaining to deer within differing habitats. The course is also available to those who may have to advise others on deer management matters of for those wishing to extend their general deer management knowledge. 

The course takes place over 5 days. An estate visit is conducted on one of the days to observe 'good deer management practice' and for those wishing, to take an advanced shooting test. This is entirely voluntary; however those who partake and pass will have this fact recorded on the Deer Management Certificate awarded to successful students. If you wish to participate in the shooting you will be required to bring with you a fully zeroed deer legal rifle and a quantity of ammunition.
