In this episode I get straight off the ferry from Shetland and get stuck into the hills of Scotland on the hunt for Sika Deer.
With a phone call from @westcapadesUK Jake , asking if I am able to join him in on a deer stalking trip in the north of Scotland, there was no way I could say no. We work with the landowner to help manage the deer population, with all deer heading off into the food chain. Within a few hours of getting off the ferry from SHETLAND we are spying Sika out on the hill, putting in a stealthy stalk to get within rage, ensuring a good shot . I must admit these deer have a sixth sense and definitely make you work hard, but it is incredibly rewarding when it all comes together .
Join me on these next few episodes where we get stuck into both open hill ground and forest plantations on the hunt for red and sika deer . It's going to be hard work in some wild weather, but it proves to be a lot of fun.
A big thanks to everyone who made this trip what it was .
Clovis for inviting us and for providing the best hospitality possible .
Jake for taking the time to put up with me (lol) as well as organising the trip.
We were so lucky to get the use of some pretty incredible thermal imaging equipment from @KAHLES making it so much easier to spot those sneaky sika aswell as serving as a must have for deer recovery out on the hill.
Thanks for watching and get ready for more to come
