Hunting Ground
We manage one of the biggest and best shooting areas here in Aberdeenshire with us you are
generally guaranteed to have the best hunting experience whether you’re a novice coming to
Scotland for the first time or a seasoned Goose hunter
We regularly use patterns of in excess of 500 Decoys and use different types of hide including layout
blinds when the condition calls for them
The ground we shoot is directly on the famous Loch of Strathbeg, not near the Loch as many other
guides are we shoot the fields and farms around the Loch, We have other farms close to 2 other
large wildfowl reserves which can provide fantastic flights
My Friend Kevin Wilcox from Tidepool who supplies us with Sillosocks decoys tried our services at
the end of last season and he can confirm how organised, professional, and friendly we are

The geese are shot in the field when they land at a maximum of 35M from the hides.
Some cartridges for extreme shots can be used as Remington nitro, winchester XX or federal Premium in BB.
Hunting in wetlands is done with substitute cartridges. Like every year, I am going to order cartridges on site, which is not what will be missing.
