When it comes to birds, we pride ourselves on offering the extremes. Our quail and woodcock packages in Croatia are no exception. If, as the dog days of summer roll around each year, you contemplate the sorry state of the British summer and rusty shooting skills in the face of the Glorious 12th and beyond, [...]

Two months into the grouse season and we are down to our last three days. From the Outer Hebrides to the Cheviots, the Lammermuirs to the Yorkshire Dales it has been an amazing season for grouse. RSS news feed Newsletter / Mailing list Contact us

While the well-heeled twiddle their trigger fingers waiting for the start of the season on the Glorious 12th, you could be pulling the trigger in anger on the Fantastic 1st (of August, of course!), reveling in some of Croatia’s finest quail shooting. And all only a bargain dash from Gatwick or Heathrow. RSS news feed [...]

When Britain mothballs game shooting for the season, my attentions turn to sport further afield, and to the next season looming on the horizon – a summer of game clays and fishing for trout and salmon. RSS news feed Newsletter / Mailing list Contact us

Fortunately, excursions to the Outer Hebrides aren’t made or broken by the weather…for dour folk, the Hebrideans are weather optimists: whatever comes next, it won’t be the same twice. Very like the sport. After grouse, the odd snipe or passing plover, and a whatever the collective noun is for 3 salmonid species, we’d stretched FlyBe’s [...]

I’ve just stopped long enough to reflect on the truly glorious Glorious 12th we had in Yorkshire… I’m in the throes of complex packing for more walked up grouse (this time over pointers, not people) in the Outer Hebrides. RSS news feed Newsletter / Mailing list Contact us

For every keen shot, August 12th is a red letter day in the sporting calendar: the glorious 12th, the start of the grouse season, harbinger of sport to come. This year I took a mixed bag of guns to enjoy the 12th and 14th on the moor above Grassington, North Yorkshire. RSS news feed Newsletter [...]

What better way to start the season than three days spent tramping behind the dogs? Grouse over pointers makes you appreciate the beaters on driven days, and the quarry everyday. RSS news feed Newsletter / Mailing list Contact us

Occasionally a plan comes together, and I pack the right equipment to make it happen. The estate we have been shooting grouse over pointers on happens to have the River Spey running right through it. This means three things: the potential for brownies, salmon, and fabulous whiskey. RSS news feed Newsletter / Mailing list Contact [...]
