Kyle Apple: Scotland Red Stag and Sika Deer Hunt Report

Scotland Red Stag and Sika Deer Hunt

My goal was to experience Scotland with my wife while hunting overseas for the first time. I wanted to hunt for two new species.

The hunting was incredible. I spent a day on the hill glassing and stalking in awesome country to get my red stag. We saw lots of deer and hiked through a beautiful landscape.

I also spent an evening and a morning stalking and calling for sika deer. On the second outing we called in three or four spikes at one location. At the next location a bigger deer came in that I shot. It was a great experience with wonderful guides.

That left me with lots of time to explore castles and lakes and the neighborhood with my wife. All the details were well coordinated — from airport pickup to housing to food. The other hunters and spouses were a lot of fun. We’re already thinking about the next trip!

We're looking forward to helping you book a great trip with an amazing outfitter.

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.

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!
