Hi all,
I've got it into my head from somewhere that stalking does not usually
take place on Sundays. Is this right?
Thanks

As far as I understand it its not legal to stalk on a Sunday but pest
control is allowed. As deer are deemed to be pests there could be shooting
of deer on a Sunday. I doubt though that paying guests would be out, but
professional stalkers may be.


No it's quite legal to stalk on a Sunday in Scotland IIRC. But a Sunday
"No Stalking" observance is carried out throughout Scotland. Probably
due to historic religous events.

No doubt MO will put me right if I'm mis-informed;-)
