There are many factors to take into account when stalking: Terrain, weather, carcass recovery, essential equipment, personal safety, (stalk alone or accompanied) on foot or static. Whether in the Highlands or lowland stalking, always ensure that somebody knows where you are going and when you expect to return. And don’t forget to carry a mobile phone and basic first aid kit.
And above all, enjoy the opportunity to be outdoors and appreciate what Nature has to offer us.
