- Epic footage from the highlands of Scotland during the transition from Red Stag to hind. We give you an insight into what you can expect from the stalker express train from London, we talk calibres and look at the Sauer 404 take down. All that and more amongst the most breath-taking scenery that the highlands has to offer.

Absolutely brilliant trip. The stalking was extreme at times but well worth the result! A once in a lifetime adventure. I loved it.
Well done Capreolous Club!
Thanks Trevor!
Always enjoy watching, especially because the hunt is carried out in a professional manner with high regard for the wildlife. Also appreciate a fellow meat hunter as supposed to just pursuing a trophy.
Thanks for watching and for your comments Mike. More and more we find that people are interested in the food aspect of hunting, which is something we encourage.
That looked like fun! The weather does its job, the deer do there's and the full time boots on the ground always get us into the right spot at the right time whatever the conditions. I love Highland stalking. The Southern lowland stalking I do now, due to relocation, is akin to pretending duck flighting over a fed pond is the equivalent of wildfowling on the estuary.
Gorgeous country up that way
Appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment!
I go here regularly. Don’t have permission. But it’s great fun.
I’m up here in the morning. Weather not looking too bad.
Good footage , Capreolous Club.
Thanks for the comment
brilliant video on the hill lads 10/10
Thanks for the comment Matthew
You weren’t wrong on the fitness needed!
I stalk several times a week and have to say, I still had to put in some fitness training beforehand.
Please let us know where in the world is your favourite place to hunt by commenting below. We'd love to hear from you.
Mull, Jura, Islay, Mull of Kintyre: in no particular order.
I live in New Zealand so everything is more challenging here. (providing it is public land of course) Scotland to me would be like a round of golf, although unlike golf I would enjoy it immensely in fact I have in the past. All the same it is tame by comparison...................
@@stevegarnett I think you may be over stretching the point Steve, Trevor is in fact Canadian and well used to tough environments, but still found hunting in this region amongst the hardest hunts of his life. Nonetheless thanks for watching and for your comment.
@@peterjones4442 There are kiwis in NZ that do not know the toughness of its own country Peter. To make the comment about a Canadian finding it tough in Scotland is irrelevant. The fact is Scotland is always made out to be hard. It most definitely is not, and if you find it hard, then you need to harden up. Is my point.
Hello, What is the song you use for you channel theme?
Hope there weren't too many midges!
Thankfully too late in the year for midges!

I prefer a 270 on the hill
Probably the most iconic highland calibre, watch this, it seems you are not alone: czcams.com/video/_IAkCoa3z8U/video.html
110 grain bullet in 308 is ridiculously inefficient. A 150 or 165 grain in 308 will do absolutely everything needed. Great out to 300yards and you shouldn't be shooting deer further than that.
I'm guessing what was missing from the piece is that is the 110gr bullet is that it is a copper bullet and not the 150gr or 165gr SST or whatever in lead. Hence the move up to 140gr. Lead bullets are not illegal in Scotland yet but, from memory, in certain areas (e.g. FLS land) they will be come next year.
@@colinjohnston5465 thanks for the update. The copper v lead scenario is proper nonsense. I've been shooting reasonable numbers of deer each year for twenty plus year's and the danger from a few lead bullets in thousands of acres of land is just plain nonsense.
@@johnkelly9160 I'm not going to argue with you on that point. (Edit: the reason I am not going to argue is because I agree). The .243 will be obsolete in Scotland for large deer from next year due to bullet weight, etc. Of course, the SNH or whatever the F they are called these days, could ask the Executive to change the law and allow red, sika and fallow deer to be shot with an 85gr copper bullet ramped up to speed to get the same shock at impact and thus make the .243 legal again. The chances of that common sense, practical solution is nil.
My own findings are that the non-lead work pretty well but you need to be ultra safe in shot placement and hit the shoulder / large bone to ensure the mushroom effect of the bullet petals or the bullet can pass right through leaving an insufficient exit wound to help with follow up and dispatch of what will ultimately be a dead animal. I believe the MOD has stopped the use of non-lead alternatives on their ranges due to the risk of ricochet due to this very issue. Might be wrong and happily stand to be corrected.
@@colinjohnston5465 agreed. Lead is definitely the humane killer. I suspect many will continue with lead cores. I managed ranges for the MOD and we never had copper bullets used in 5.56, 7.72, 300 WinMag and 338 lapua. I'm away a couple of years but all nato stock is lead core.
John, I should have said that the 150gr Hornady GMX copper bullet in 308 is incredibly accurate but I have found that it doesn't have the stopping power of a 150gr lead bullet. I am trying a 123gr copper job to see if it is any good.
The 85gr copper in 243 is serious medicine for roe.
30-06 or nothing.
o its so hard ,point bang dead .
Why are you watching this?
@@peterjones4442 hum , ,because its on you tube ,
You should give it a go. You'll get your step count up, reduce the perceived erosion caused by deer and put zero carbon food into the food chain. Who knows, you might even enjoy yourself.
@@colinjohnston5465 after a few thousand ,it gets boring ,
@@troywales983 Ask the Scottish government, they shoot them out of helicopters and or with night vision, lamping at night and all the rest of it all for a mere £10 million of tax payers money. So, yes, I agree killing any animals like that would be incredibly boring.
BTW, interesting fact for you.... animals slaughtered for the table release 95 times the amount of "fear" hormones into their blood stream immediately prior to slaughter than a stalked and shot deer. Cool stat, eh?
No need to thank me!
