Bognie Shoot

The BOGNIE shoot is located at Forgue in rural Aberdeenshire, and is based on a private family estate, who can trace their links to the land back to the 12th century. The shoot covers approximately 13,000 acres, of rolling farmland and woods and provides a variety of excellent driven pheasant and partridge shooting along with some duck and walked up shooting. The shoot have over 45 acres of game crops and over 20 named drives. The drives are many and varied emanating from either cover crops or woodland. The addition of partridges to some of our signature drives has proved to be a huge success, with guns having to contend with rocketing pheasants and jinking partridge on the same drive.

Driven days start with a warm welcome, coffee and bacon rolls and a briefing for the team. Refreshments and lunch are provided during the day. A typical day will normally consist of four or five drives with time between drives to chat to friends and relax.

The shoot caters for corporate parties, private roving syndicates, small parties and individual guns, as well as providing walked up days. We also have a syndicate on the shoot where occasionally guns or half guns become available.

We have been running the shoot for over 30 years and our aim is to provide a relaxed safe and thoroughly enjoyable days shooting for our guests.

Guns are welcome to bring their dogs and if required we can help with arrangements for overnight accommodation for travelling parties
