UNITED KINGDOM: Off To Scottish Highlands For Red Stag, Sika Stag & Roe Buck (Sept 1st)

[ftrovato]

I'll give a report and provide pictures of my first stalking experience when I return to the US in mid September.

I can't wait to simply hike those Scottish Highlands while taking in the sights, sounds and scents along with making a few new friends.

More to come....

I’m excited for your report. Two years ago I had an amazing time doing exactly as you just said- taking it all in, with great company, and having a super fun hunt. I ended up with one turnip-raiding management stag, one small trophy stag, and what they called a “hill buck”, a highland roe buck approaching one of his last winters. They graciously comped the roe buck because my trophy stag really came down to the wire and was not a guaranteed deal even with hours left in my hunt. It took lying on our bellies for 3 hours pinned down by the herd, getting eaten by midges, before I could close the deal. I wouldn’t be booked for my first African hunt if it weren’t for my great experience in Scotland.

Looks like you had a wonderful experience. I'm very much looking forward...
