Due to demand we are currently holding off taking any more bookings for deer stalking at this time. A unique opportunity to stalk deer (with a camera or rifle) in and around the dramatic mountains and the north of the island where a sustainable deer management programme maintains an abundant population of Stags, Hinds, Roe Bucks and Does, depending on the season. Skye Ghillie will coach novices and share his skills and experience with all.
