Scottish Red Deer Hunt Report by Paul Canevari
My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of our free range stag hunt in Scotland. The Dalnacardoch Lodge was wonderful and the staff outstanding. The deer hunt itself was challenging yet not overly difficult. Our guide was very knowledgeable, enjoyable to be with, and a real gentleman. The firearms and ammo at our disposal were topnotch. I killed a nice stag on the first day of the hunt after a very exciting and challenging stalk. The red grouse rough shooting hunt was also well done and provided me the opportunity to kill a few birds (even though the weather that day was horrible).
Overall I would highly recommend this hunt and this lodge to all of my hunting friends. It was an incredibly relaxing 4 days spent in very beautiful surroundings. It must also be noted that the location of the lodge afforded excellent sightseeing and shopping opportunities. One of the best ‘hunting trips’ I’ve been fortunate enough to experience.

- Anything about this trip that you think we should be aware of? Fishing. I had two open days after killing my stag before the grouse hunt. Providing information on fishing availability would have been helpful. Actually it was relatively easy to get a nice beat through Blair Castle or a fishing club along the Spey.

I didn't think an experience like this was possible.
This trip, was, for me at least not just a trip, for me it was a real adventure, a real experience. I love the wilderness and this trip afforded me the opportunity to connect with the Alaskan wilderness in ways very few people do. It was an experience I will never forgot in a place I can’t wait to get back to.Oliver Fischer
The outfitter handled everything perfectly.
We were thankful that Outdoors International hooked us up with a great outfitter because they were able to find us an acceptable alternate on short notice. Overall the two year process to get this float in was seamless and worry free. Just like it should be.Thank you, Stan Masneri
What an amazing experience!
The lodge was out of this world! Our rooms, the delicious food, the incredible wildlife and the scenery were amazing. Our photo safari guide was truly exceptional and had us on animals almost constantly. We saw over 30 different species and had some incredible up close experiences. Africa is amazing!Scott Navares
