Thursday 28th July – 19:30 – Selecting kit for success
We are postponing the Zoom session with Ben Lightowler of Deer Central that had been scheduled for this week as it seems people are struggling to find time at the moment. Apologies for any inconvenience this causes.
We are working on a number of in-person and online events for the autumn when hopefully people will have more availability. Details to follow.
We’re hoping to hold a range day in the spring and are also working on further virtual events. More details to follow. As always, recommendations and suggestions for topics and venues are very welcome.
If your contact information has changed please make sure to let us know. To update your details simply email membership@bds.org.uk or call 01425 655434.
Cairngorms Connect has launched a new project marketing venison, to share the story of forest expansion in the Cairngorms.
The British Deer Society (BDS) has reviewed in detail the consultation on proposed deer management published by Defra on the 4th of August 2022. Whilst we welcome the consultation in general terms, and in particular the intent to develop a wider market for venison, we have serious concerns about some of the proposals.
The Scottish Firearms Licensing Practitioners Group has released a leaflet providing information on mental health support for firearms license holders.
