Hiya Guys,

I'm offering the above hunt on our own ground managed exclusively by Athina Sporting in South west Scotland.

The day rate quoted above includes all Access, Guiding services, extraction and transportation to and from the ground. It also includes any stags you shoot, so NO TROPHY FEES!!! You can shoot up to two big stags per day and as many management and cull animals as you have the chance at. I will stress that this is THE area in Scotland for big Wild Free Ranging Stags. We hold the current Scottish record since 2010 and have seen stags annually that rival it and one we are sure will beat it... at 60 metres this year the client froze and didn't shoot!!

You will need to be relatively fit to enjoy this hunt, but saying that we got an 80 year old man his stag on his first morning this year and even your "slightly" (ahem...) portly scribe managed it up the mountain and survived!!

We can assist you with airport transfers, accommodation, and firearm importation. I have excluded the additional services because that way you have flexibility to plan your own itinerary as you wish.

Details Below:

Accommodation B&B is between £60/night to £120/Night depending on your choice of venue

• Temporary firearms permit is £35
  
• Mandatory Insurance is £35
  
• Airport transfers £75
  
• Rifle Hire £45/Day
  
• Wild Goat Trophy £250
  
• Wild Goat Management Animal Free (Subject to Availability)
  
• Roe Buck Trophy Free
  
• Evening Wild Duck Flight
  

All Prices are subject to 20%VAT.

This is a seriously good offer with a chance at shooting medal quality and potentially record Wild Stags. There is no charge for non shooting observers

I will be on location from the 5th October onwards, and this hunt can be tied in with the grouse shooting hunt we have offered on the forum.

Rgds,
K

I will be quite happy with a stag that size!

Do you have Clara and I down for the week of 6 October?

Larry

Hey mate

I have you booked for the 6,7,8,9th did you want to extend to the whole week?

Rgds,
K

Count me in. Looks like I'll be with you in Aberdeen first shooting walk up grouse then on to Dumfries for the Stag. Very excited

Sounds like a plan!!

I will have confirmation on the grouse in the next day or so.

K

This is a smoking hot deal. You don't have to pay a lot for a good stag hunt in Scotland. I am going back in 2015. Save me a place.

Kiri: I think we should be good with those days but we are open to suggestions. Any opportunities for roe deer?

Hiya mate

There might be some roe about while hunting on the lower hills but they tend to lay down after their rut in August.

If we see any during the red rut they are available free of charge or for the cost of a small pint...

You could always come into Aberdeen as mike is doing and hunt roe there for a day or two. You might even manage to shoot the odd grouse. Then we can head across to Dumfries on the 5th.

Indeed management hunting in Scotland need not be too expensive by the standards of the rest of the world, but I should point out that mostly the stags shot in Scotland are management animals and rarely will estates offer trophy class animals for hunting.

We are very lucky with our location and the good volume of high quality stags we have access to.

Best Scottish stag offer I have seen. I can`t go Hope someone does a couple of reports from the hunt!!

The only reason there won't be any reports is if Clara shoots a bigger stag than all the boys!!!

Thanks to everyone that has booked.

I have one or two spaces from the 4th Oct through to the 9th Oct inclusive, and I have two spaces on the 14th Oct through to the 17th Oct

Hi guys,

I am currently in South Africa till mid July with limited data.

I just want to let everyone know that their hunts are secure even if you have not received a deposit request yet.

We did have a cancellation for the 10th October onwards if anyone still fancies joining us?

Best regards,
Kiri

Hi All,

Due to cancellation, we still have space for one rifle on the 6th Oct through to 9th Oct inclusive and I have space for two rifles from the 10th Oct through to the 13th onward.

14th to the end of the season on the 20th we have an open book for up to 4 hunters

Rgds,
Kiri

It looks like we are all sold out now guys

I will wait till this season is out of the way before starting next years bookings for Red Stags, but I will be putting the Roe stalking up very soon for next July.

Rgds,
K

Outstanding! I just returned from Scotland last week with my wife as we were visiting family history venues around Edinburgh and Glasgow, as well in the Scottish Highlands, and would love to return and do this next year! I love Scotland!

UEG,

I'm really excited about this season. Feel free to mail me to pencil in dates for 2015, even though we won't be firming up bookings until late October.

We have actually only put limited number of hunters on there to try and ensure maximum sport for all involved.

On top of that it looks like I'm going to meet a heap more AR members, and that can't be a bad thing!!

Not long to go now!!

Rgds

Guys We have just had an opening for the 10th to the 13th October 2014.

If the dates work for anyone let me know. It may be too late to get the firearm permits done but we have plenty of nice rifles here that people can use.

Rgds,
Kiri

Kiri, Did you get my rifle permits yet?
See you a month from today at Kent Bridge.

Hi Dennis

Permits are in the system and I am hoping to collect them on Monday 15th. I will express mail them to you as soon as I get them.

Rgds,
K

FallowBuck,

is the 10-13th still available?

Yes indeed it is still open.

PM me or email me at Kiri@AthinaSporting.com if you would like more details.

We would be too late to do a rifle permit now but we can arrange you a gun I'm sure.

Rgds,
K

Fallow, email sent.

Should Scotland become a Republic will there be visa requirements for foreign hunters?

Forget the visas, they want to ban guns and give the estates back to the people!!!

Almost like zim!!
