Your week
Arrival
day is Sunday. We suggest you arrive as early as possible. Guests
can be met at Aberdeen or Inverness airport and taken to your
accommodation
to settle in and discuss the weeks programe, which includes a check
group fired by each rifle to ensure weapons have not been mishandled
during transit.
Stalking for a party of between four and six rifles is normal however a larger
party would require an early booking in order to make the necessary arrangements.
Non hunting guests are more than welcome to enjoy the peace and quiet and visit
the many beauty spots and quality shops to be found in the surrounding towns
and villages, a hire car is recommended so guests have freedom to tour at their
own convenience.
Hunting
Our main theme is Roe Buck Stalking - This being the most popular and demanding
species to hunt here in Scotland. Most of our clients take 4 to 5 animals, the
variation in trophy size up to medal bucks tends to encourage clients to take
this amount. Roe stalking takes place during the first and last hours of daylight,
outings are conducted over a period of 3 to 4 hours, morning stalking is done
mainly on foot. The evening stalk occasionally ends by sitting in a high seat.
Each rifle is allocated a stalker on a one to one basis for a total of 10 outings.
The stalkers decisions and instructions during stalking are final.
Roe Buck hunting period:
May is our opening month as this is when all the bucks are clean
of velvet. The hunting period runs from the first week in May through
to the start of August.
Sika, Red and Roe deer stalking:
Our Red Stags tend to start the last week in September through to the third
week in October (Rut period). The standard of a trophy varies greatly. The
hunting is a constant challenge in what can be difficult terrain. However,
some very fine heads have been taken over the years even the occasional Royal
Stag. All animals are native Scottish stags. There are no imported park stags,
Hind Sika and Roe doe stalking is available on request.
Driven or walked up game:
Pheasants, grouse, partridge, woodcock and snipe can be offered
as walked up days or in driven days depending on availability.
Rough and mixed shooting is also on offer, game would include pheasants,
partridge, woodcock, snipe, hares, rabbits, mallard and teal duck.
One or two evening flights for geese, mallard, widgeon and teal can be arranged
as part of your sporting week.
All the above are subject to availability.
