Stalking on Coillte land

    No intention of getting involved in stalking but I have a question.

    I know that Coillte allows stalkers to hunt until 11.00 am( or is it noon)

    Is there a time in the afternoon that stalkers are allowed back on to the let for an "evening stalk" i.e when walkers need to leave the forest.?

    With the evenings closing in I don't want to get in anybody's way if I go for a walk.

    Thanks

    Shooting ends at 11am. Evening shooting is only allowed from high seats and with approval from the forester. These are the rules as I know them, I may not be totally correct! If in doubt ask the local forester.

    I remember seeing some info on this on the Coillte website:)

    Had checked the Coillte site and the code of practice just states that the hunter needs to put up signs which state the time that the shooting will cease etc,no specifics though.
    I'll give coillte a ring tomorrow.

    Thanks lads

    GixxerThou is right, am till 11, hour before dusk till dark if shooting from highseat, which can only be erected with forresters approval
