UK hunting: deer stalking, fox control and rifle hunting across Britain
Britain offers some of the finest rifle hunting in the world – if you know where to look and how to make the most of it. From red deer on the open hill to roe in the hedgerows, fallow in ancient woodland and sika on the edge of forestry plantations, the variety and quality of UK hunting is genuinely world class.
Rifle Shooter’s UK hunting section covers every aspect of hunting on home soil – deer stalking across all six UK species, fox and rabbit control, pest management and the seasons, permissions and legal requirements that govern hunting in England, Scotland and Wales.
Our contributors bring first-hand knowledge of British hunting ground, offering practical advice on fieldcraft, calibre selection, shot placement and land access alongside features from some of the most spectacular hunting landscapes these islands have to offer.
Great hunting. Right on your doorstep.
