Intermediate Deer Course Information Sheet

The intermediate Deer Course is designed as a step between DSC Levels One and Two and the aim is to advance and prepare students wishing to undertake the DSC level two, and any novice stalker wishing to further their practical experience.

The course is designed to equip the candidate with the support, understanding and awareness required for the safe and correct way of shooting deer, retrieving, gralloching, carcase inspection and lardering.  It allows everyone to be supervised on their first kill and provides practical experience in preparing the carcase for human consumption.

On completion of this course the candidate will be issued with the BASC Intermediate Deer Course certificate (subject to passing the assessment).

The BASC Intermediate Deer Course comprises of:-

• Stalking the deer or shooting from a high seat.
• Taking the shot and reaction to shot.
• Approaching the deer/follow up.
• Extracting and transporting the carcase.
• Gralloching and inspection of the carcase.

INFORMATION FOR DEER MANAGERS WITH OLDER DSC 1 CERTIFICATES

Following changes to food hygiene regulations in 2005, holders of older DCS 1 certificates (coloured buff) were able to convert their certificate to include “trained hunter” status for large game. DMQ has announced that the facility to convert buff coloured DCS 1 certificates is to be withdrawn from 31st March 2009. No applications for conversion received after this date will be accepted.

All DSC 1 certificates issued since 1st January 2006 (coloured blue) indicate that the holder is also designated a “trained hunter” (for large game only) under the food hygiene regulations; these certificates are not affected by the withdrawal of conversions.

Any further applications up to 31st March 2009 should be addressed to DMQ, Marford Mill, Rossett, Wrexham LL12 0HL.
