Hello from Scotland

[Euan97]

Hi everyone, I’m Euan from the Highlands I’m Scotland. I’m a professional deer manager and forester. I hope to take a trip to South Africa for Plains Game in the next 2 or 3 years, and thought this forum would be a great place to start my research! Here’s a few photos of the species I shoot here in Scotland.

Euan97, welcome to the AH forum! It looks like you have hunted well in Scotland! Congratulations!
Your rifle looks like a Sako? What caliber do you use? That is one huge suppressor!
You’re going to love hunting in Africa!

Throughout my career so far I’ve used mainly Sako and Tikka. I occasionally use a .243 for fallow and roe deer, but my current personal rifle is a Sako 85 synthetic stainless in .270. The suppressor is a reflex T8 one, cheap and effective but not the most robust.

Welcome to AH! You definitely found the right place to help plan an excellent first safari (or 2nd, 3rd, etc, for that matter!) Lots of great people and outfitters on here. I would love to hunt the highlands someday. Managed to make it to Ireland for fallow deer once, but I love the Scottish highlands. Bet you have some amazing stories!

Welcome aboard Euan97, you have a very interesting job. Getting paid to hunt sounds like a lot of fun to me. Do you work on the estate of a private individual or for some Governmental agency? Roughly how many deer do you take in a year's time?

Welcome aboard Euan97, you have a very interesting job. Getting paid to hunt sounds like a lot of fun to me. Do you work on the estate of a private individual or for some Governmental agency? Roughly how many deer do you take in a year's time?

At the moment I work as a self employed individual helping to control deer populations on a wide variety of land holdings including some government land and some private land. I am still studying to complete my degree in forestry so I am only shooting around 150 deer a year for work in conjunction with my other roles, and then another 30-40 deer on land I shoot on a recreational basis.

 

[Shootist43]

Euan97, now I know that I'd have liked to have a job like yours!! I'm generally limited to two deer a year. One with a bow the other with a rifle or muzzleloader.
