052.jpg Northumberland stalker Jon Snowdon stalking roe deer in Germany, 3456 x 2304 Northumberland stalker Jon Snowdon stalking roe deer in Germany, 3456 x 2304ORIGINAL ARTICLEWhat did the Germans ever do for us?Charlie Jacoby goes roebuck shooting in Germany and finds out how they do things differently over there. Britain has all the best roebuck but the Germans have the best traditions and techniques for shooting them. Admittedly, they do their traditions with the kind of tweeness and attention to detail that ends inevitably in fascism but we have plenty to learn from them.The German ammunition company RUAG, which sells Norma and RWS cartridges among others, keeps a 2,500ha hunting area near its southern German factory. I went there in a party of four English stalkers to shoot roebucks from highseats and stalked along woodland rides. RUAG employs jaegers (stalkers) here to take its own staff and guests out to shoot roe deer. It takes around 150 roe off the mainly wooded areas on the hunting ground, including 40-45 bucks. It also takes 40-45 wild boar a year, including half a dozen keiler (full-grown males). It also sponsors general wildlife management in the district, including dealing with the 20-30 deer RTAs per year on roads through the area.Unlike the UK, where you might expect him to come with triple shooting sticks, RUAG stalker Josef Naegelein carries a fold-up camping stool, a single height-adjustable thumbstick and a cushion with a strap. He and client stalk carefully to a position in the woodland where he reckons there is a good chance of a buck. There he puts out the stool for the shooter to sit on and plants the thumbstick for the shooter to use as a rifle rest. He also issues anti-midge stuff. Then it’s a question of waiting. Every 15 minutes, he will use his Buttolo call to give three or four roe kid peeps. He scans the area with Zeiss 10x56 binoculars.As well as his job as jaeger, Josef is a local carpenter and made many of the 50 highseats on the 2,500ha ground. For the highseat work, he has the cushion which, sensibl

002.jpg Steve Alexander on Salisbury Plain, 3456 x 2304 Steve Alexander on Salisbury Plain, 3456 x 2304Traditionally in the Army, if it moves you salute it and if it stays still you paint it. Charlie Jacoby finds out what they do with their roe deerUntil I stepped on the mortar bomb, I reckoned I was in a roe stalkers’ paradise. It is a 33,000-acre estate in Wiltshire where hardly anyone goes. Deer are healthy, you will see them regularly as you stalk. The trouble is the high explosives. Happily, this one was a blank. These are the Army ranges on Salisbury Plain.“Don’t touch it,” said Steve Alexander as I bent down to examine it. “That really is the golden rule here,” he continued. “Don’t touch the ordnance.”The bangs don’t drive away the deer. There are hulks of old tanks and troop carriers that the army artillery aims at, so the shelling areas are concentrated. But it is not safe for stalkers to go there except, that is, for the group in Defence Estates charged with managing the deer population on the MoD’s land. They are allowed out during gaps in the shelling.Steve manages the deerstalking on this vast centre of Salisbury Plain. The whole Plain extends to nearly 100,000 acres. Its northern half holds the two Live Impact Areas where the bulk of the deer live. The southern half has the Dry Training Areas and so more disturbance from troop movements.Almost all the deer in the centre are roe. There are occasional muntjac or transit fallow. Muntjac are now creeping in to the western edge of the Plain and both fallow and muntjac are established on the eastern edge.What a wonderful opportunity for officers to enjoy some free jolly old stalking, you might think. But it is not like that. Steve’s job is serious deer management. He enjoys his stalking and he does the job for free but each year he has to come up with a management plan for the Plain based on a census carried out by up to 40 volunteers. He has a pool of stalkers, all qualified to DSC1 or higher, drawn from all ranks of all services and from the MoD Civil
