The Scottish Outdoor Access Code says…. Deer management can take place during many months of the year but the most sensitive time is the stag stalking season (usually from 1 July to 20 October, but with most stalking taking place from August onwards). During this season, you can help to minimise disturbance by taking reasonable steps to find out where stalking is taking place (such as by using the Hillphones service where one is available www.snh.org.uk/hillphones and by taking account of advice on alternative routes. Avoid crossing land where stalking is taking place. Stalking does not normally take place on Sundays. There is some excellent background to the Hillphones scheme and to the issues over access during the stalking season on the following websites: • walking.visitscotland.com/usefulinfo/deer • www.mcofs.org.uk/hillphones.asp • www.snh.org.uk/hillphones Contact details for estates that subscribe to Hillphones are obtained through that scheme.
