I've meant to post these photos and stories for some time but life has been rather busy with work and family.

As many on Nitroexpress know my main area of interest in shooting and hunting is late 19th century Scottish and Indian deer stalking. So I've been making some trips up the Perthshire with Vernon Waters to stalk stags over recent years. Vernon runs a top class organization and he's a wonderful person to deal with.

The head stalker, Jimmy, who is a retired stalker for the forestry and can walk any younger man into the ground.

Driving up to the stalking grounds:
