STAG STALKING
A nice eight point stag taken at Wyvis in 2001
We are pleased to offer stag stalking over WYVIS estate, which lies 20 miles North of Inverness, close to Evanton and Dingwall.
The estate extends to some 28,500 acres, and has a large population of red deer resident, of which some 45 stags and 100 hinds are annually taken. The estate has four distinct beats, allowing for four individuals or parties to be out on any given day, without hindrance to the other.
Stalking normally commences around 09.30, after having checked the rifle on the iron stag target. This is usually conducted on foot, though there is an eight wheel drive tracked vehicle for one of the beats. Potential hunters are requested that they have undertaken some walking and or physical exercise prior to arrival, as the hills are unforgiving to the unfit; good strong footwear is a must, and a windproof outer jacket which can be worn once the heights have been ascended is recommended. Red deer are wary creatures with excellent eyesight, and a suitable hat and gloves are also considered de rigeur. Trophy quality is reasonably good, and above the average for Scotland as a whole. As is normal, any sportsman will shoot to the instructions of the Estate staff, but will generally be offered a choice of more than one animal wherever possible, and will not generally be requested to shoot animals with very small antlers.
CHARGES
Visitor firearm permit £40
Per outing (day) fee £500
Trophy up to & inc. 8 pointer incuded
Should there arise the opportunity for a larger trophy stag to be taken (as per the instructions of the estate staff), the following tariffs would apply:
Trophy up to & inc. 10 pointer £350
Trophy up to & inc. 12 pointer £500.
NB 10 and 12 pointers and above are available as per the stalking guides' authorisation and discretion only. Normal traditional highland stalking methods applied.
A successful stalk high above the lodge
It can also be arranged for early/late sessions from high seats for awaiting for elderly or unfit, though this really is a last resort, and we would rather prefer to offer the traditional challenge of the hill stalking to any guests.
Trophies over 12 point by arrangement.
Guide tip (per attempted shot) min £30
Cleaning of heads is charged at £20 each (short-nosed cut). Other cut
types
and/or taxidermy work by arrangement.
STAG STALKING ALREADY FULLY BOOKED LAST WEEK SEPT TO 4TH OCTOBER
Accommodation
Lodging possibilities nearby the estate include both standard and superior hotels, comfortable self - catering cottage (sleeps 5), with or without the services of a cook, and bed and breakfast lodging, with or without evening meal. We would be pleased to advise and quote upon discussing your requirements.
Vehicle Hire
Car rentals are generally secured to the best price by means of internet booking, ususally through partner firms to low-cost air carriers. We recommend these as the first point of enquiry for any rentals to be made.
I trust the above has been of interest to you, and if I can be of assistance
in any way to arrange sport for you here in Scotland please don't hesitate to
contact me.
