SHOT FEES & PENALTIES
Below are our indicative shot fees - these may vary according to location, however we will make you aware of the specific fees when you book your outings and confirm the location.
Please note that our philosophy is to manage deer numbers in an ethical and sustainable manner - keeping the female population of deer under control is the proven method of keeping the population under control; we therefore keep our doe culling prices very affordable (often there is no charge for culling does, just the outing fee to cover our expenses). Male deer shooting is intentionally higher in order to encourage our guests to focus on female deer - however culling male deer is of course still necessary so if our guests are keen to shoot something special we cater for this also.
Some areas of the country are overrun with deer and some very low-cost shooting can be found in these areas - we occasionally run special offers where we have an excess of deer, but generally speaking we are in control of the populations we manage so do not need to discount our pricing.
