Carnmore - Restricted access to due to deer stalking

I'm trying to get an understanding of the access situation in the central highlands in September.

Crags such as Carnmore Crag appear to be 'banned due to deer stalking' September to January!

This seems to conflict with the Scottish Outdoor Access Code. Has anone actual experience of accessing this crag or area at this time of the year and had experience of this estate and how they operate?

In reply to Brown:

It says in the Northern Highlands Central guidebook:
The owner likes climbers to visit his estate but restrictions may be found during the stalking season (“15th September to 15th November, except weekends”, quoted in 2005).

Cheers. I dont have that guide so its reassuring to hear something that sounds a little more reasonable.

In reply to Brown:

The owner that I spoke to has since died but I think his family still own the estate. If you want to climb on Carnmor Crag, I don't think there will be a problem at any time, as it's not in the hills. This site is good with lots of phone numbers about stalking but Fisherfield don't seem to take part.
