Go to Loch Rannoch and hunt with George MacDonald. Good hunting in the hills, very inexpensive as long as you stay in a local hotel; they have a lot more character than a Holiday Inn. Sipping scotch by the fire after a day of stalking red stag...getting ready for a dinner of salmon or red deer - geez, hunting's best kept secret.

Book now, because those are prime dates. Might already be too late.

You should rent a car. You can drive to Loch Rannoch is a few hours if I remember correctly.

Deerdogs,
I happen to know a (one eyed...) Major Ramsay. Are we talking about the same gentleman ? I stalked Reds in Blair Atholl 5-6 times. Great place, deer all over the place but quite expensive.

I have never met him, but it could well be the same man.

I have heard stag are expensive, but I only paid $400 us per day, with one stag per day. If you want to shoot two, then it is double.

NY Hunter: You can book with an agent; Hendry Ramsey is good, but they add their fee on to the estate's fee, so unlike the US, it is more expensive to book with them.

Thank all of you for the replies and emails. I will print this thread for future reference. Unfortunately the the trip is now a slim possibility and I'm running out of time to book.
