Great news for those interested in deer stalking—The British Deer Society (BDS) has launched a brand-new DSC1 Online Training Course with Assessment Day, designed to make learning more accessible for everyone. This exciting development opens up opportunities for more people to explore and engage with this rewarding sport, especially for those who may have found it difficult to attend traditional in-person courses.

The course is an excellent option for both beginners and enthusiasts looking to deepen their knowledge of deer stalking, deer management, and firearms safety. It combines the flexibility of online learning with the rigour of an in-person assessment day, allowing participants to progress at their own pace. The training covers all the essential topics, from deer identification and stalking techniques to safety protocols and game laws.

By making this course available online, the BDS hopes to attract a wider audience, making the sport more inclusive and encouraging responsible, ethical practices within the deer stalking community. This step not only supports the education of new hunters but also contributes to wildlife conservation and management efforts across the UK.
