Red Deer Stalking at Glen Dessary

Glen Dessary offers some of the most exciting deer stalking in Scotland. The ground is steep and genuinely wild, and it is not uncommon to take a stag at over 2,500 feet, climbing through mist that lifts to reveal the islands of Rhum, Skye and the Outer Hebrides.

Stag Season

Mid August to 20 October

Hind Season

21 October to 15 February

Parties Per Day

Up to two, working separate ground

Accompaniment

Always with an experienced, qualified stalker

A Carefully Managed Herd

Our red deer herd is managed with highly selective culling, regular herd counting and a programme of winter feeding. That work provides a steady number of mature stags through the season and keeps the herd in good condition on ground that can be unforgiving in winter.

The Ground

The Estate's 15,000 acres can carry two separate stalking parties working in different areas, so your day is never crowded. Expect steep high ground, long views west, and the kind of stalking that rewards patience and fitness in equal measure.

Your Day on the Hill

You will be accompanied throughout by a qualified stalker who knows this ground intimately. Rifles can be discussed in advance, and we ask that all guests read our stalking terms before arrival. Evenings are spent back at the Lodge with a hot bath, a dram and the day's story told properly.
