Cairngorm

The hunting areas is located in the Cairngorm mountains in the heart of Scotland.

The stalking takes place on various estates most of which are within a 20 minute drive of Kingussie. All red deer are completely wild and are located on open moorland and mountainous terrain. The challenge of stalking over various types of terrain to achieve the final goal of having a stag within your sights lures many guests to us year after year.

The terrain can be extremely steep and very challenging, but all hunts can be tailored according to the hunters physical abilities and wishes.

A Typical Day

You will be met by your stalker, usually around 0900 hours.

Upon commencement of the hunt you will be accompanied at all times by an experienced stalker and occasionally a ghille.
