Nestled in the heart of the English Lake District, Graythwaite Estate red deer stalking is an unforgettable experience to even the most experienced deer stalker. Steeped in history and been the hunting grounds of our forbears for hundreds of years the estate comprises various landscapes. From woodland surrounded pastures to lakes and steep wooded valleys, open fell ground and thick conifers the estate has a little bit of everything. Red deer and roe deer are plentiful, herds of 30-40 reds are quite common. From late September when the red stags start to Rut, the roars can be heard from miles around. The red deer in this part of the Furness fells are typically short legged, big body and have thick antlers up to 16 points. Being on a reduction cull at the moment means that we have a large number of deer to cull and this also gives us the opportunity to provide what ever the client wishes to shoot. Trophy’s and cull beasts are all on the menus.
