D V Sporting

D V Sporting is run by David Virtue who has over 40 years experience in shooting in the Scottish borders, we cover a large area of ground in the Scottish borders, east Lothian, mid Lothian & Northumberland shooting some large estates totally laid out for shooting offering nearly all wild game shooting from flighting pinkfooted & greylag geese in the first light of dawn to shooting teal & mallard on some tucked away flight pond at last light!

We do walked up rough days offering 6/8 species of mixed game in the bag eg. teal,mallard,snipe,hare,woodcock,pheasant.pigeon,rabbit.we also do walked up days & a few driven days on grouse on the lammermuir & moorfoot hills in stunning scenary. We also do very good pigeon decoying on harvested stubble fields in August & September, we supply all the kit from hides, decoys, magnets & set you up in the best locations. We also do a few days roost shooting pigeon & some spring drillings which can be very good.

We offer some very good deer stalking for roe deer over a wide variety of terrain both stalking & high seats and we shoot on average 6 medal class bucks each year. We also do cull packages on the deer stalking for bucks & does so beginners who are wanting to try stalking can come & have a go we have estate rifles they can use for cull packages from £90. We have some very wonderful scenery to go stalking in. Packages from 1 outing to a week, i can also arrange stalking for red stags & hinds at very reasonable prices.

Semi driven & full driven days on game are also available, pheasant & partridge & grouse mixed if you like on very good borders estates with challenging birds..

Typical trip for a group of 5/6 guns would be 2/3 days goose shooting in the morning, back for a hearty breakfast & then the afternoon spent on a semi driven rough day with a variety of game in the bag, then retire to a local country pub for a nice steak & a few beers.

You can tailor the trip to suit yourselves, we have it all on offer here. Very keen to get youngsters involved in the sport so they are very welcome, 4x4 transport can be arranged & airport pick up at edinburgh also.
