Premier Hunting Day

Commencing in October 2011, we are delighted to announce the launch of our new premium hunting experience.

We have secured the use of a stunning Grampian Estate for these new dates. By default, this brings us into the most incredible scenery, amazing topography and most relevant to the hardened hunter, a very high volume and variety of game! This allows us to present to you an increased range of species of raptor to fly, in a wider range of hunting styles.

Perhaps most attractive is the presence of significant hills and good breezes on almost every day which makes the flying of the eagle far more impressive, and in a style, much closer to that of her wild counterpart.

Despite the hills however, we have managed to make the new days accessible to anyone with a reasonable degree of fitness. By utilising the Land Rovers to traverse the vehicle accessible parts of the estate, we can make sure the serious ascents and descents are taken care of mechanically! There is some walking to be done, but we have managed to build the day so that the physical strain is no greater than that experienced on the standard hunting days in Fife.

The view down over the hunting grounds

Our motivation for the creation of this new product was to find a way to create a publically accessible day, that allows people who have either been on a standard hunting day before, or have a real passion for raptors to truly see the birds in a location more natural to them, to see game most suited to each of the different species thus matching them perfectly to their quarry, and have, in one place, all the types of terrain and flora required to see each species at its magnificent best.

Your on site transport for the day, proving its worth!

After considerable negotiation with an estate on which we have flown eagles and hawks since 1996, we have secured 9 weeks annually to dedicate to the new product and a couple of variations of it. Apart from the advantages already described, we can also offer multiple days in each of the dedicated weeks, and we can offer accommodation in the falconers cottage should you wish to come on the evening before your day, or take two or more consecutive days. The guests who take two consecutive days or more, and elect to take a night in the cottage have the added benefit (if they are culinarily adventurous) of joining the falconers in the preparation of the game taken each day, then enjoying it as a delicious evening meal!
