yickdaz Posted October 6, 2017 Report Share Posted October 6, 2017 (edited) I,m looking for a few days goose and pheasant shooting in Scotland around mid November well 3 of us are, we used to go around Dundee Forfar area way back in the early 90s but always used the same guide who retired and we haven't had a trip to Scotland since I have already looked at quite a few shooting breaks in Scotland websites and emailed at least 5 of them had two replies with prices but they seemed a little over the top at £110 per goose flight just wondered if anyone can give us a heads up on any guides they have been out with and gives good value for money pm me with details please Edited October 6, 2017 by yickdaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sako751sg Posted October 9, 2017 Report Share Posted October 9, 2017 Mark Robson would sort your pheasant and goose shooting out although maybe short notice for this season. Have taken a couple of days for the last 6ish years and absolutely faultless and has the utmost respect for his quarry. Going down in a fortnight for our yearly and looking forward to it.If you ever fancy teaming for a day or 2 i think Marks pretty accommodating as its just Mac,the old fella and i so theres usually a few others including a couple off here. Highly recommend him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DIVERD Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 Try montrose shooting breaks, they are on FB and have a web site. i used to shoot with them when they were based in aberdeenshire as north east shooting breaks and they were really good. i have not shot with them in the montrose area, but i see regular decent bags on fb, and lots of happy customer comments, so must be doing something right. Not sure about pheasants, it looks like mainly ducks and geese, but worth a call Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highlandladdie Posted October 11, 2017 Report Share Posted October 11, 2017 I follow a group called Aberdeen Wild Wings on instagram, could also try them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AberFowl Posted October 11, 2017 Report Share Posted October 11, 2017 (edited) I follow a group called Aberdeen Wild Wings on instagram, could also try them?Would be surprised if he has any spaces...usually booked up well before season starts. Get the odd cancellation though so might strike lucky! If you do manage to get in with AWW (a good friend of myne) and fancy a flight on the Foreshore let me know and I will try sort something Edited October 11, 2017 by AberFowl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

novice cushie shooter Posted October 18, 2017 Report Share Posted October 18, 2017 Mark Robson gets booked up quick and can get the odd cancellation but its not great if your tying to plan. I have James kirkaldys number,used him last year and had a good day. Hes £80 a goose flight and can do you pheasant too. Can pm it if needed Not used d virtue but seems to do quite well going by his Facebook page. Does stalking too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
