The outfit I hunted with also offered Sika hunting and it was not based on trophy size. One price per stag regardless of size and it was very economical.
Some pics of the cabin we hunted from….After decades of PH’ing in Zimbabwe, Mozambique and Tanzania I moved to an Estate in Scotland, in the lowlands just north of Dundee.
I would head up to the Highlands where we harvested Red Stag - just beautiful. Roe deer we’d harvest on the lowland Estate, plus bird shoots.
Without a doubt Scotland is one of the most beautiful countries on this planet. The weather Gods are so jealous of its beauty that they torment the lands with diabolical weather but humanity has it covered with the clothing we produce!!!
Just love Scotland.
Do you have information or website ect...Personally , I wouldnt bother with the Fallow. If you are stalking in Scotland the iconic Reds are the one. Roe would be good also but If I were to travel to Scotland it would have to be a Red stag.
There are plenty of places that are very affordable. Be honest about your level of fitness. I have hunted with Winston Churchill on the east of Argyll and you have to very fit. His prices are very good , I have never taken a "trophy" stag but we have takeen very nice 10 pointers.

I am just south of Lexington if you were up for getting together over a beer or good shot of bourbon I would love to get together and pick your brain. lolI’m currently shopping around for a 2025 hunt in Scotland. Book early is my best advice because the whole planet likes to travel and hunt there.
My previous post covers most of my thoughts, but I will add:
- You need to decide if you want to immerse yourself in 1-2 places or tour the country. They make for very different experiences.
- Using Groupon, or flying to Dublin and then taking Ryanairto Glasgow or Edinburgh can save you money on airfare
- Air BnB is usually much cheaper than hotels in Scotland IIRC.
Edit: Talisker was my favorite distillery last time. Next time I am going to Islay for the peat monster tours. If you like the more gentle ones go to Speyside which starts in the Cairgorms and heads northeast of Inverness towards Elgin.

What are you wanting in terms of experience and trophy size?Talk to me about fallow?
representative is fine obviously the bigger the better,lol. I know they are not native but being thereWhat are you wanting in terms of experience and trophy size?
My wife and I are T-minus 10 days and counting from a 30th anniversary trip to Scotland and Ireland, and this thread has got me very excited (albeit this will be a non-hunting trip).![]()
I actually mentioned that to the other two couples who are traveling with us (and also celebrating their 30th anniversaries), but I don't think the wives would appreciate us boys ditching the custom van tour we already booked in order to go hunting. Maybe next trip.You have 9 days to fix that problem… that’s plenty of time…
Red Stag season is open until October…

I would focus on a highland experience if going to Scotland. The fallow deer are not in the highlands which is where you will want to stalk the red deer. The fallow will be in the low ground forestry blocks. Do a trip to the highlands for red deer and then head down south of the UK to Sussex or Kent for fallow deer on the South Downs area. Or, head abroad to Romania or Hungry for some epic fallow stalking.representative is fine obviously the bigger the better,lol. I know they are not native but being there
since 1200 I can live with that. I never hunted them in Africa because they seem out of place to me. I would love to stalk stag as well. just can't devote a lot of time to it as this is vacation for my wife.
only planning on hunting a couple of days, this may not be feasible. your thoughts would be appreciated!!!
