Red Deer

Hunting

A Complete Guide

By

Paul Rattray

“Skilled red deer hunting includes the ability of the hunter to visualise themselves as the animal and think of how the animal is likely to behave in this given situation, season and encounter. Skilled hunting is about respecting the animal you are hunting, the land you are hunting on and the local people who own and use the land. None of these skills come without practice, observation, documentation and review of your hunting and shooting techniques, interaction and friendships with locals and your ability to harvest and utilise your prey in the most sustainable way.” (Paul Rattray)
