woodcock / snipe shooting

The Kerry region is one of the most beautiful in Ireland for hunting woodcock, snipe and sika deer.

Not for the faint hearted rough shooting in Ireland is not so much a days hunting; its more of an adventure. A track with experienced ghillies, spaniels and setters through a variety of terrains, from the rugged bogs and moors, to the rolling green hills and mountains of Kerry.

We offer an unique opportunity for parties of 2 to 8 guns to sample rough shooting at its best in one of Europes loveliest sporting environments. You can enjoy a great days shooting in some of the most unspoilt areas in Kerry, where woodcock, snipe, duck and other game abound.

Once you have experienced the delights of rough shooting in Kerry and enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere we feel sure you will want to return again and again.
