Stalking

The stag season runs from 1 July to 20 October and the hind season from 21 October to 15 February.

Taking place up on Erchless Hill, your party will walk out from the castle with our estate stalker supervising you. Our stalking isn’t just about firing a shot, it encompasses all there is to know about the terrain, flora and fauna in this incredibly rich natural environment. There is as much to see with the naked eye as there is down the barrel of a gun. Shots can only be fired at the stalker's discretion so anyone, from beginner to experienced, can confidently take part. Everyone can enjoy learning about our wild landscape whether they take a shot or not.
