Woodcock shooting in East Midlands

Lincolnshire, United Kingdom

We are an established shoot based in the beautiful Lincolnshire Wolds and pride ourselves with rearing top quality game birds. Our rough shooting days are exciting and ideal for working your own dogs to enhance their hunting and retrieval confidence. Early in the season we will cover boundary terrain which includes woods, dykes, sugar beat and various other cover crops. From January, we open the full shoot which provides a fabulous opportunity to work your dogs and shoot within the main drives and acres of arable farmland. You will be accompanied throughout the day by a very experienced guide. Bag size up is up to 10 for a team of 2 and 30 for a team of 6 (this can be adjusted to your requirements). We have a dedicated shoot barn with welfare facilities, plenty of parking and the use of our Gun Bus. Please email for further information. A £50 deposit per gun is payable to secure dates. Ideal for Teams of 2 to 6 guns, however, if you want a bigger group please get in touch as we can cater for this. We can recommend local accommodation who will accept dogs. Feel free to book as an individual and we can group you with other guns.

The GWCT shoot at The Allerton Project is a small driven shoot guided by the principles of GWCT research over the past 100 years, offering fantastic shooting in rolling Leicestershire countryside. Management for shooting and farmland wildlife are intrinsically interlinked, and GWCT research demonstrates the direct positive impact on wildlife, gamebird health and the environmental benefits of a well run shoot. Following best practice guidelines and a core aim of sustainability, the shoot has evolved from a wild bird only shoot during the earlier years, through to the small released driven shoot we have today. We aim to shoot around 13 days, with the over-riding focus being on high quality birds, a warm and welcoming atmosphere, and an overall good day out ... with a bit of learning thrown in now and then!

In line with current Government lockdown regulations, we are offering walk up days for individuals. You will be accompanied by the keeper for the day. These days are ideally suited for you to shoot and work your dog (s), however, the keeper has his own team of dogs who can work for you if preferred. The terrain can be demanding and physical with long walks across acres of beautiful countryside.

The Brocklesby Park Estate in Lincolnshire has some availability for an all-inclusive package of two days shooting and two or three nights accommodation available throughout the season for teams of up to eight guns. We provide an informal but pegged rough day (around 30 head mixed wild bag including woodcock) on one day and a 125-150 bird (partridge & pheasant) driven day the other (mainly partridge in early season). The shoot here is predominantly private and let days are rarely available or advertised. The self catering accommodation will be provided at The Vicarage, Great Limber, in the heart of the estate, and provides a relaxing and luxurious stay. The house has six double bedrooms and two further bedrooms in the cottage within the grounds, thus sleeping a total of sixteen people. There is a high quality pub within walking distance which has a private dining room if required, or we can assist with finding a freelance local chef for any catering needs. Hunting (mounted or just following) is also available with the Brocklesby Hounds, and Market Rasen racecourse is only fifteen miles away. There is excellent shopping to be had in Lincoln and Beverley, and an extensive antiques centre at Hemswell half an hour away. We are close to Humberside Airport and all M180/M18/M62 motorway networks. For further details on dates, costs etc, please get in touch. But tentatively the following are available: 11-13 Oct, 18-20 Oct, 25-27 Oct, 1-3 Nov, 8-10 Nov. The details for the Vicarage are as on Brocklesby Estate website, however we would make a direct booking to coincide with the shooting days.
