Countryside Persuits

A traditional British past time of the countryside is to go hunting with guns, and one of the best places to do this is in Aberdeenshire. This county has miles and miles of countryside full of all manner of wildlife, and there are several different companies that offer shooting breaks at a number of different locations around Aberdeenshire . Hunters have the option of staying in luxury country house hotels where they can relax after an active day in cosy comfort, or they can enjoy modern city apartments which offer access to other pursuits such as shopping or the cinema. The latter option is very popular for those who wish to bring their spouses along for the trip.

With its vast tracts of countryside estates, Aberdeenshire requires gamekeepers to artificially cap the numbers of various animals on the land. This is to help preserve the current ecosystem by stopping one or two species becoming dominant. This means that hunting is less animal cruelty and more environmental protection, providing certain rules are obeyed. Of course this does not stop many people exercising their right to free speech by protesting against hunting with guns and some choose to disrupt hunts via direct action. However these instances are rare and there is nothing illegal about hunting with guns in Aberdeenshire providing the correct rules are followed.

You can research your options of where to hunt by searching online, as most hunting break companies have websites featuring comprehensive details of what services they offer.
