Scotland camping trip

I went to Scotland this weekend on a camping trip , got some pictures of the deer . Although we are not aloowed to Bowhunt over here , it would be great if we could .

The few around the Hotel near where we camped were quite friendly .

 

Great photos Bails, thanks for sharing.

 

A few of the surrounding area , i know it ain't bowhunt related but hope you enjoy .

 

Great pics and beautiful scenery. Are there large populations of deer in Scotland?

 

Nice pics thanks for sharing

 

Sweet pics!!!Walt

 

Those are some pretty sweet pics.

 

Why would you need to bowhunt when they're close enough to get in a chokehold? :D

 

Huh... I would have assumed you'd all be walking around in kilts.

Kidding!

Nice pics.

 

Great pics Dave!

Is there any hunting allowed for these animals in other areas? Reason I ask - I sure don't like seeing "the wild" lost from animals that have not been hunted for so long...similar to many National Parks in America...

 

Thanks for the comments Fella's

There is a large Deer population in Scotland , Huge actually . There are talks at the moment going on of a planned cull , because there are too many and not enough food to go around after having a harsh Winter .

The Red Deer around the Hotel have been their for years , i've been feeding them for 5yrs . They take biscuits from my mouth , they are that tame . 500yds away though and they are totally wild and will not be approached by human , i plan on booking a stalk around this same area later in the year .

As for kilts Duke , i would have gladly given £50 to any man that had a kilt on that weekend -16 would not do your nether regions any good .

I did try a whisky or 2 in preparation for the Elk Camp 2010 meet up and woke with the biggest headache i have ever had , there is a lesson to be learn't their lol :p

 

always cool to see animals from a diff part of the globe!
