I would like to offer the opportunity to come and hunt Red and/or Sika stags in the Scottish Highlands in 2025. The best months are September and October with the rut starting at the end of September/start of October.
I have access to three estates totalling roughly 30,000 acres of forest and open hill. I have personally hunted these estates as have clients from AR.

These are 1x1 hunts but can take two hunters out on the hill each day, so great for a couple of friends. Hunts can be from one day up to five days depending on how many stags you wish to hunt/shoot.

THERE ARE NO DAILY FEES, JUST PAY FOR THE STAGS YOU SHOOT. NO CHARGE FOR OBSERVERS JOING THE HUNT. All prices are in Pound Sterling.
Red stags up to 11 points £850 per stag
Royal Red stags (price on request)
Sika stags of any size £750 per stag
Rifle hire per person per day £60 (this includes ammo)
Preparation of trophies £60 per head (if exporting)
In the event of a blank day, guests will be charged £450

I would require a deposit of £360 per person per day which will confirm your booking/dates. The deposit goes towards stags shot.

Not included in the above prices
Hotel accommodation during your hunt (this will include breakfast) I can book this but if you prefer to book your own that's fine. I will recommend a few hotels in Newtonmore or Kingussie
Evening meals and drinks
Due to being out all day a pack lunch is required. This can be purchased at the local supermarket or your hotel can make one for you
Car rental at the airport (Edinburgh or Inverness) Edinburgh 2 hour drive to Newtonmore/Kingussie, Inverness 1 hour drive to Newtonmore/Kingussie
Taxidermy costs
Shipping of trophies
I can arrange a Visitors Firearms Permit at a cost of £20 if brining a rifle from overseas.

Get in touch if this is something of interest for 2025.

Gee Mike
Half the US hunters should jump on it
What a screaming deal

Ya, looks like a heck of a deal and I bet that would be a blast.

Do you have interpretors for the Scottish guides?

Great offer Mike Some day I will come over for sure! Kids are getting bigger, easier to get away ! Good luck!

Thank you

Yes, definitely pack the wet weather gear just in case.

Hunted stag with mike in 22.

Can't say enough nice things about the entire experience.

Thank you to the guys who have booked for next year and also who enquired about these hunts.

I still have open dates available for next year. The sooner I can get dates pencilled in the better as dates fill up fast. No deposits needed until next year.
