Intermediate Deer Course (IDC)

Aim

The Intermediate Deer Course is designed as a step between DSC1 and DSC2 and the aim is to advance and prepare students wishing to undertake the DSC2, and any novice stalker wishing to further their practical experience.

The course is designed to equip the candidate with the support, understanding and awareness required for the safe and correct way of shooting deer, retrieving, gralloching, carcase inspection and lardering. It allows everyone to be supervised on their first kill and provides practical experience in preparing the carcase for human consumption.

On completion of this course the candidate will be issued with the BASC Intermediate Deer Course certificate.

The BASC Intermediate Deer Course comprises of:-

  • Stalking the deer or shooting from a high seat.
  • Taking the shot and reaction to shot.
  • Approaching the deer/follow up.
  • Extracting and transporting the carcase.
  • Gralloching and inspection of the carcase.

Plaudits

“Excellent course, run at an appropriate pace and to the style and content we asked for. Feel much more confident going forward and feel it has been a very worthwhile experience. Would recommend to others.”

“This course fitted my requirements perfectly as it enhanced my stalking knowledge and I gained a better insight into the gralloching and larder aspects which I thought I had locked in the field. Instructors were approachable and very flexible, highly recommend this course”

“I attended the Intermediate Deer Course recently and found it incredibly informative and an absolute pleasure to attend. The trainer was a credit to themselves and BASC. They had the ability to pass on their wealth of knowledge in an easy to digest manor, whilst retaining the pertinent information.”
