Old Traditions- an insight into deer stalking Scotland

Deer stalking, Scotland and country activities are all part of a traditional way of life.

Deer stalking, also known as deer hunting or shooting, is a long-preserved way of managing a deer herd. As well as playing an important role in conserving their natural habitat, deer stalking also ensures the longevity of the wild deer population as well as offering many Scottish estates a valuable source of income.

Stalking red or roe deer is a wonderful way of gaining an insight into Scotland's beautiful landscape and culture. On a deer stalking break, you could spend time walking through mountains, forests and glens whilst on the lookout for deer.

Red Deer are the most popular breed of deer stalked in Scotland. A fully-grown red deer stag with its magnificent antlers is truly a wonderful sight.

The stag stalking season begins on July 1 and ends on October 20, when the hind season begins, then ending on February 15. Stalking red deer is allowed on Sundays in Scotland, although many stalkers would consider it a day of rest.

Many deer stalking areas are also popular with hill walkers. If you prefer to walk than stalk, it's best to check ahead to find out where the stalking activities are taking place.

With common sense, people stalking and others hill walking can continue to share the hills at the same time, preserving the traditions of deer stalking Scotland for all.
