Deer Hunting in the UK : Scotland
Species of Deer
Scotland has two native deer the red deer and roe deer. The red deer is Scotland’s largest most graceful mammal - one of Scotland's most iconic images.
Red Deer
Red deer are widely distributed across most of Scotland except Islands and areas of the southern borders. They habitat woodland and moorlands towards the tops of mountains grazing on grasses and, heathers.
Woodland dwelling red deer are usually larger and more productive than hill dwelling deer due to access to higher quality foods and shelter, with woodland red deer staying in smaller groups, compared to hill dwelling red deer where herds can number in the hundreds.
Roe Deer
The smaller roe deer is also found throughout Scotland preferring areas with cover for them to hide though out the day. Roe deer are more selective eaters seeking out specific herbs, shrubs and tree shoots.
Roe bucks (males) are more solitary than the red deer, being very territorial from February - August. Small groups are however seen in the in the winter.
Roe does (females) spend most of the year rearing their young, (fawns) however will drive them away after a year in preparation for the birth of next years fawns.
Fallow and Sika Deer
Non native fallow and sika deer have also been introduced to Scotland through deliberate releases and escapes from country parks.
Both red and roe deer are thriving in Scotland, however the introduction of Fallow and Sika deer has lead to some cross breading which is a danger to the natural species, therefore it is important that non native species numbers are controlled though hunting.
Hunting Deer
Scottish Deer no longer have any natural predators, therefore it is essential the population is managed though Deer hunting, or ‘stalking’, to limit their negative effect on local ecology and to ensure the population does not out grow food supplies.

Species of Birds
Capercaillie (Woodland)
Capercaillie is the world's largest grouse species. This large impressive birds main habitat is the Scots pine woods. 'Capercaillie' is a Gaelic name translates as 'horse of the forest'. Capercaillie are numbers are closely managed and conserved to ensure the survival of the species. Cappercaillie hunting can be arranged in Russia where numbers are greater than in the UK.
Red grouse (Upland)
Grouse are found in the upland moors of Scotland, where regular heather burning leads to a patch work of younger smaller plants for food, and older higher growth areas where the grouse can shelter. Grouse shooting is common across many areas of Scotland.
Wintering geese (Lowland)
Greenland barnacle geese and Greenland white-fronted geese arrive in Scotland in large numbers every autumn - winter. Large flocks of Geese are common across much of Scotland with hunting arrange in central Scotland and Aberdeenshire. Hunting helps minimise the damage Geese can do eating the crops in farmers fields.
