Why United Kingdom

Classic Deer Stalking

Stalking red deer in the Scottish Highlands is one of the world’s most classic hunts. Many other varieties of deer are abundant throughout the UK as well

Upland Birds

The UK, especially Scotland, is home to some of the finest (and often most expensive) wing shooting in the world. Driven hunts for grouse and pheasant are wildly popular as are walk-up hunts with dogs

Tradition and Culture

The traditions of the hunt that began in the highlands and moors of the UK have spread throughout much of the world as a result of British influence. Hunters visiting the UK today often stay in castles, eat traditional fare, and explore the same highlands and moors that hunters have trod for centuries

About hunting in United Kingdom

Hunting deer on foot, known as “stalking,” is a long and storied tradition in the UK. England, Scotland and Wales are home to a wide variety of deer species, including native red deer, fallow deer, and roe deer, as well as a host of introduced deer species from around the world, including sika deer, Pere David deer, hog deer, muntjac, and Chinese water deer. Feral goats can also be hunted in the Scottish Highlands. Bird shooting is longstanding tradition throughout the UK, and driven shoots for pheasants and grouse on managed estates can produce bags of hundreds of birds. Almost all hunting in the UK is conducted on large estates which are managed intensively to promote and sustain well-balanced wildlife and gamebird populations.

Hunting with Sergio was an adventure I won’t forget. We stalked roe deer in the fields and saw plenty of game. Had a great time making jokes and getting serious when we were on critters.He also kept me busy once I was done hunting. We were planning another trip back before we left.it absolutely could not have been better!

We liked everything, from relaxing in the cottage,afternoon walks through the countryside with my wife, and just seeing how other places operate.

There was absolutely nothing we did not like about this trip.

I had one day in England to go on a “Proper deer stalk” and they did not disappoint me with everything I was looking for. I was able to accomplish a bucket list hunt and see plenty on game and experience what a deer stalk is supposed to be like.

Nothing it was great from booking to finish

I told them I was after a Snipe and they were very accommodating and suggested the best time and place based on various game keepers recommendations THAT DAY. Within an afternoon and a couple phone calls I had a day booked and paid with the flexibility of adding a day if the one day had not been a success. It was very relaxed as I went alone on a 1-2-1 day of walk up shooting with the keeper, Tom. Bear in mind luck can play a role depending on the type of hunt you want, and they will remind you there is no guarantee. However the land and game are very well managed, and their evident experience helps a lot. At your pace, they plan the best shoot to your needs and abilities which is great if like me you are carrying an injury but still like to get outdoors for a shoot.

I have no immediate criticism, but if I had to say something it was a lengthy search to find a good snipe shoot in the UK that would accept a group of only 1 gun, but that's life and the search is worth a bit of effort. and at least now I can spread by word of mouth.
