Hampshire Sporting Pursuits

The shoot is based on this famous sporting Hampshire Estate spreading over 5000 acres. It plays host to some fantastic wetland and woodland habitats that supports a spectacular variety of wild game, including pheasant, duck, snipe, woodcock and geese. The wetland areas are fed by the famous River Test that meanders its course throughout the very heart of the Estate. Such habitat is becoming rarer and one that demands respect and understanding. It is home to three species of deer that are scattered widely throughout, from the wetlands to the dense ancient woodlands. This provides for some excellent and challenging stalking opportunities. We are pleased to offer some weekend stalking experiences with the opportunity to shoot some fine roe bucks of medal grade quality. The shoot hut or Bothy is based in the dense woodland that looks down over the Test valley. Its the place where the day begins and ends and represents a focal point for socializing, relaxing and all importantly enjoying some tasty home coked food and perhaps a beer or glass of wine! Our fundamental ethos is to provide a range of shooting opportunities spread over 8 days with a mixed bag of approximately 60 - 80 birds .Today all of this is available to you based on the ethos of sustainability and sound ecological principals. We are looking for like-minded people who want to experience more than just a traditional pheasant shoot but wishing to share an enjoyable day with great company. The day includes standing drives, walked up and blanking in drives and ending with flighting for wildfowl over the lakes and wetland areas. Guns are also permitted (at no extra cost) to enjoy some excellent additional walked up days in designated areas of the Estate where game includes pheasant, duck, geese and pigeon. If you are looking for a traditional standing shoot then this is probably not for you but if you are looking for a wilder and we consider to be a more exciting experience then this maybe the one! The number of guns on the day is from 8-9.. A whole gun is for all 8 dates and a half gun for 4 dates. All inquires welcome for the 2022 season. PLEASE note we only have a few spaces left so please call asap if you would like to discus joining.
