I can second that with Colin he will look after you the Mabie House hotel is warm & friendly even a drying room under the stairs great food and great guide
Give it to me!
- Thread starter firebird
- Start date
I’ll find you a couple of fallow deer & throw in a goat or two (it’ll be tethered as we don’t have any wild ones round here) & I’ll do it for €15000 - plus - I’ll buy you a fish & chip supper afterwards, oh & to complete the experience you can gralloch them too
Seriously, the guy is taking the proverbial & more likely he’s got the fallow in an enclosure for you to shoot - I don’t know anywhere in the UK that breeds fallow, or any other wild deer, just to shoot - he’s talking bollox. Park herds are managed but they’re not bred just for big fat foreigners to take pot shots at from ‘hunting’ blinds! (No offence intended to our American cousins.)
You’d do far worse than contact @sikamalc to see what he can arrange for you.

There's so many estates here in the UK that have a near 100% success rate that are a fraction of that price with better animals available, not to mention our gun laws are easier for over-sea clients that arent bringing there own rifles.
I know the site owner offers a Red and Sika hunt up in the highlands during the rut, and I (think) Its near about that price for two stalkers, but he's been doing it near 40 years and has really catered to be a once in a life time hunt.
Colin recently got Fallow as well as far as I'm aware I'm not sure what he's charging but he's overall a fan favorite.

If you get within striking range of Forfar in Angus (Scotland) I'll offer you an outing on roe on my ground? Free of charge, it'd be my pleasure

If you have a planned itinerary for the uk, then post it in the "Deer stalking opportunities" forum and say what you want to hunt. That way people will be able to offer you stalking that fits in with your families plans. There are deer in most parts of the UK. If your not looking for medal class heads, you will get several outings for less than £2k. Unless you are really set on 2 fallow and 2 goats, you could try for a few of the following, muntjac, roe, fallow, sika, Chinese water deer, or red. Cull bucks and stags won't break the bank.

Ireland isn’t renowned for its big fallow heads, unless you get in to Dublin City Centre lol

Honestly If you want to guarantee a medal UK wouldn't be my first pick, the way the UK operates as a hunting country Is more-so decent heads / memory rather than full blown medals too oversea clients unless Its CWD or muntjac, what is pretty easy to achieve.I don’t think I have enough posts here yet to use the “stalking opportunities” yet
Fallow is my wife’s #1 and would have to be a medal. I would maybe want a medal Roe buck.
Culls and representative bucks would keep us well entertained.
Roe deer you could probably get a medal but prime hunting time Is May too July/August, Fallow are either dropped or in velvet that entire time.
Fallow rut the roe are almost 100% lost there antlers as Its december-ish.
UK Is not known for medal fallow at all.
I will call you to discuss UK stalking and Canadian hunting contacts. I’ll DM you as suggested.
