About this hunt
We provide days shooting wood pigeons over arable crops. The spring days are usually a straight run from 9 a.m in the hide through to 3 p.m to 5 p.m generally, depending on the weather. Summer days may be different. It is possible to incorporate other outings during your day/trip with us depending on seasons and daylight hours for example… If you want to book a day by yourself that’s ok, but we might prefer to put you on the same date as other people. This often helps maintain a steady airborne flow throughout the day. Our typical day: A pigeon shooting day will start with a RDV either at the accommodation or directly on the property, where a guide will explain safety protocols and any specific points about the chosen farm. We aim to get our clients into their hides and ready for around 9 a.m. this means the RDV may well be ahead of this. If you are experienced and like DIY days that’s absolutely fine and we understand the art of setting up your own decoys and the hide can be just as much fun as the shooting itself. In that case we will point out a preferable spot and leave you to it. If you are a novice however and need coaching, we have all the necessary equipment, poles, camouflage nets, decoys, flappers, magnets, shotguns and even cartridges. Usually we'll shoot through until 3 to 5 p.m.

As soon as you arrive, the beauty of our region and carefully selected accommodations become apparent! We have traditional local establishments we work with who care for our guests, from the cosy country pub, beautiful village BnB or a higher-end hotel. They usually offer the classic “English breakfast”. We can also arrange your picnic with them if you require. If you bring your own remember to pack enough food and water to hold you over all day.. Don’t hesitate to ask us for the best pubs and restaurants to eat in the evenings!

Excellent hunting experience
This group is proffesional accommodating and friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with Tom and Dave.
Pricing was not accurate
First time stalking chinese water deer - but it won't be my last
I spent three excellent days in a variety of terrain settings stalking chinese water deer. I found Tom extremely knowledgeable and we saw plenty of deer and put quite a few in the larder. I was impressed with the professionalism and safe approach taken by Tom.
Nothing
Great Stalk, great local knowledge.
Excellent knowledge of hunting ground, very professional approach, great stalk and great guild. Met my expectations fully. I had asked for a good Cull Roe Buck but not a medal on this stalk and this is exactly what I was presented with. Tom re-arranged my stalk a day before due to coming down with Covid Thank you Tom and Dave
