We start hind/calf stalking at the beginning of the season, 21st Oct and carry through until the season closing date of 15th February.
We are very active over this period and need to shoot as many hinds & calves as possible to control the Red Deer population over the land that we stalk. It is very necessary to carry out this cull as Red Deer are a very successful species with no natural predators in the UK. The woodland behaviour of our Red Deer dictates that we have to stalk twice each day - daybreak and again at dusk
This is a very challenging sport, often carried out in extreme weather but for the young and or fit this is also a very exciting and rewarding sport. The Red deer hind is a very wary animal and can very difficult to approach especially in our terrain where they often have a commanding view of very large areas - this adds to the challenge!!
We have many regular guests who help us with the winter cull, some of whom visit us more than once throughout the winter. Compared to stag stalking, it is a relatively cheap sport - our current price is £220 per day on a 1:1 basis (1 stalker : 1 rifle). If two friends wish to share a rifle then the cost is shared!
Hind Stalking Prices - Daily rate £235 per day on 1:1 (one rifle : one stalker) - no extra charge for any animals shot. We do offer stalking on 2:1 basis, please enquire for prices on this. Price includes vat
