Fantastic highland hunting in the Cairngorm Mountains in beautiful central Scotland. The region is known as one of the most picturesque in Scotland. Hunting takes place on various estates, typically consisting of highlands with heather and open expanses.
The estates boast a healthy population of red deer, and the hunting organization is of high caliber. At the same time, one can enjoy hunting in a wonderful natural setting during the autumn and winter.
There is free shooting of hinds and calves. The expected yield is 1-3 hinds per day per hunter, but this will naturally depend on the hunters' physical condition and shooting skills.
Hunting Season
October 21 - February 15
We have prime hunting grounds in this area, and some are more physically challenging than others, but in the highlands, one should never expect results to come easily. The estates boast excellent populations of red deer, and hunting takes place in a marvelous natural setting. The hunting organization is highly professional, and the guides are very competent.
A typical hunting day starts with hunters meeting their experienced stalker (hunting guide) on the estate, usually around 9:00 in the morning. Here, hunters will be asked to test-fire their rifles to ensure they are zeroed in correctly before the hunt begins.
The experienced stalker will guide the hunters throughout the entire hunt, knowing where to find the red deer based on wind and weather conditions.
Once the red deer are located, the stalker will point out a hind or calf for shooting, and the initial stalk begins. After the game is taken down, it is transported down the terrain using an appropriate off-road vehicle or one of the estate's highland ponies.
