Pheasant
Shooting
Season:
1st October to 1st February
Pheasant
shooting is perhaps the best known form of driven game shooting and
has remained popular over many years. With ever increasing demand for
high flying birds, most estates are now introducing specialised species
which ensures that the birds presented are of the highest quality. Due
to the large variety of estates offering this form of shooting, a great
deal of time is taken up visiting all the shoots so as to maintain the
high standard of sport expected from this agency. Every shoot changes
from year to year and it is essential to keep up to date with all the
improvements and rearing programmes that occur.
Flighting
& Wildfowl Shooting
Season:
1st September to 1st February (15th February offshore)
Duck
Flighting, being for wild game only, is of special interest to the true
game enthusiast with results being very much to do with the prevailing
weather conditions. The estates that are chosen for this specialised
sport are carefully monitored so as to ensure that the facilities are
commensurate with Duck flighting.
There
are two alternatives for this type of shooting, either an early morning
or late evening flight and these usually last for not much longer than
three hours each. It is most exciting and comes very highly recommended.
Wildfowling,
under careful management, is arranged but is becoming increasingly difficult
to find due to the regulations being imposed
