    New to here

    Hi ,I am new to here. From Staffordshire England, I am a very experienced deer stalker and general game and vermin shooter.
    I am a professional glass engraving artist with 31 years experience behind me , all my engraving is carried out by hand using a dental drill.
    my website is Home - David Whyman Crystal Engraving Artist I specialise in wildlife and country scenes and of cause shooting scenes ,but I also take commissions for any subject -including portraits, houses and other buildings, pet portraits, coats of arms and logo's, motorbikes, cars etc.
    I hunt deer in England, and Scotland but have also hunted in Germany (deer and wildboar), and Africa (plains game) There are 6 species of deer here with the introduced species we now have Red, Roe, Fallow, Sika, Muntjac,and Chinese water deer. I am also in a small driven pheasant syndicate.

    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    I am from Burton -on-Trent and I culled the deer at Chatsworth house in Derbyshire for 25 years, I have also stalked in the borders north of Lockerbie for many years for Roe ,but we don't have the ground lease now. I have stalking up in Argyll for Sika, Red and Roe and will be up there in September and October, also negotiating some stalking for Fallow ,Muntjac in Northamptonshire. I have never been to NZ but if I was younger would definitely move there to live.

    Welcome David

    In less than three weeks I will be calling England my home for the next 2-3 years. I'm looking forward to seeing what hunting (if any) I can get onto whilst over there.

    Beautiful artwork - very talented!
