Last week I and my colleague Iain, took our German and Dutch friends, Andreas and Marcel out for a stag, as a thank you for the wild boar hunting they kindly provide for us.

We knew they really wanted a red stag (there's precious few in Holland) so we asked a friend to take them out on his land to the North of Arrochar. We do have red on our own ground but not so many that one could be guaranteed. After they had got their stag, we went on to Aberdeenshire where Marcel got a nice little six point roe.

Here are some pictures.

First evening out Andreas got a wee stag.



Next morning both drew a blank but the evening stalk brought success for both.

During our stay at the Village Inn, Arrochar, Guinness sales went through the roof. I'm just glad I didn't have to climb the hill with them.

The rifle used was a 7mm-08 Mannlicher Pro Stainless with a Swarovski 4-16 x 50.

Good stuff!

Glad to see they got into some nice heads as well as enjoying the Scottish scenery (and the weather!).

Weidmannsheil! Such lovely country these guys got to hunt for stags!

Weidmanns Danke. They both had a great time. I cleaned the trophies for them yesterday and will deliver them in December, when we next go to Germany.

Beautiful beasties and countryside!

Return match in Germany now scheduled for end November!!
