David - Estate Owner
David has been managing the deer in the listed woodland on the estate for several years now & I have always found him to be polite and very professional but most of all extremely conscientious about what he is doing. His advice, recommendations & input have been invaluable when deciding on woodland management and the effects on the wildlife. An added bonus of having David on the estate has always been the haunch of venison....
Philip - Trainee Stalker to DSC2
As a keen stalker, my aim was always to gain practical experience with deer, with welfare and sound management as the primary focus. I was looking for guidance on cull planning and animal selection, not trophies for the wall.
I have been out with David on many occasions and have consistently found him to be one of the most professional, ethical, knowledgeable and experienced stalkers I have had the pleasure of learning from. Throughout our stalks and training, I gained a deep understanding of the craft, and the journey from beginner through to the completion of my DSC2 was both rewarding and genuinely enjoyable. Along the way, I’ve shared some remarkable experiences and taken away memories that will stay with me for a lifetime.
Dan - DSC2 Candidate
Having done my DSC1 and gathered a couple of years experience in the field, I wanted to competed my DSC2 and began the process and asked around for an AW.
I found David Sadler's name on the AW list. I asked around about him and his name cropped up from a couple of stalkers, so I made contact.
I met David on his ground for my first ICR and we began the process of completing my 3 ICR’s
I have to say David thoroughly put me at ease through out the process. I did have some nerves before hand about being scrutinised but his calm and gentle manner put me at ease.
I cannot recommend David highly enough as an AW and as a professional in the field, he has a wealth of knowledge and experience behind him and since completing the ICR’s he has given me a few tips and pointers which have improved my ability as a stalker.
In all I would highly recommend him as an AW or for guided stalking on his estate.
