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

As the 2009/10 season draws to a close we have certainly had our share of weather! From shirt sleeves in November to being almost drowned in December to now being frozen, we’ve seen the lot. Looking for a chance to get away from it all this spring (Dates TBC) ? I am looking for a [...]

In the lull between grouse and partridge, No. 2 has taken advantage of my height for a bit of hedge-picking and scrumpying to fill the larder for the coming winter. 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 [...]

Ascot week has been patchy to say the least, and not just when it comes to the horses I backed. Traditionally the week when wild partridge hatch, the weather for Ascot was considered to be an indicator of the success of the rearing season and therefore the shooting season.

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 [...]
