Hunting: rifle hunting guides, advice and features from the UK and beyond
Few experiences match the focus, fieldcraft and patience demanded by rifle hunting – whether you’re on a Scottish hillside after red stags, threading through woodland in pursuit of roe, or chasing plains game on a once-in-a-lifetime international trip.
Rifle Shooter’s hunting section covers the full breadth of the rifle hunting world – from deer stalking and driven boar to fox control, rabbit shooting and big game hunting abroad. Our contributors are hunters first and writers second, bringing genuine field experience to every feature, guide and destination piece we publish.
We cover species, seasons, calibre selection, shot placement, fieldcraft and the ethical responsibilities that come with hunting – alongside destination features from across Europe, Africa, North America and beyond for those planning an international adventure.
Whether you hunt close to home or dream of distant horizons, this is where the journey starts.
