big bad lindz Posted February 8, 2017 Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 Hi guys, Does anyone know if there is any walked up or driven shooting available on the Isle of Skye or around the Kyle of Lochalsh area. As part of my 60th birthday calibrations this year I am going over to the Isle of Skye for a short break in the 1st week of October and my good lady wife has suggested that I find out if there is any shooting available. I have had a look on the WWW and so far I cannot find anything regarding game shooting but I have some details regarding red stag stalking and salmon fishing but I would prefer some game shooting. Cheers, BBL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker570 Posted February 8, 2017 Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 Been many moons since I was there. We visited and shot grouse, snipe, ducks. All walked up with dogs. 40yrs ago mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotslad Posted February 8, 2017 Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 (edited) I would imagine there will be plenty of snipe and woodcock mibee even duck and geese shooting, but u might be a bit on the early side for the bigger numbers depending how the full moon falls and wot weather is like further north. Or treat urself to a walked up day on the grouse or even better a day shooting over a decent pointer, if u enjoy watching a dog work shooting over a good hard hunting pointer/hpr is the best day out u'll have Ur only 60 once treat urself Edited February 8, 2017 by scotslad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hotel I am staying at has stalking & fishing available but I thought to see if there maybe be rough shooting in the area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fern01 Posted February 8, 2017 Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 Is there anything on Guns on pegs? Do they venture North of Watford? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted February 9, 2017 Report Share Posted February 9, 2017 Ha ha I noticed most of the shoots listed are darn sarf. They used to have a bit in Yorkshire and Northumberland when they first started the site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotslad Posted February 9, 2017 Report Share Posted February 9, 2017 I take it is just u and the mrs? That might be the biggest problem, most walked up days will be for parties of 4-6 guns ansd even over pointers is usually 2-3 guns unless there is a party already booked looked for a extra gun. Have u tried asking the hotel? If they selling stalking thy must have some keepeing connections, if the stalker is onl a stalker he could probably point u in the right direction. I'm sure someone used to advertise in back of shooting times regularly from either Skye or Islay Ps i was meaning in my earlier post the snipe and woodcock might nt have arrived yet in big numbers by early oct.

Penelope Posted February 9, 2017 Report Share Posted February 9, 2017 Grouse mentioned in package 4. Might be a lead. http://old.shooting.sh/shoot_woodcock_engscotwales.shtml Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben0850 Posted February 9, 2017 Report Share Posted February 9, 2017 Do they venture North of Watford? Haha FairPlay! They do seem very southern orientated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
