Here at West Coast Woodcock we can offer a small number of hunters the opportunity of walked up hunting for one of the most exciting, prized and illusive of birds, the woodcock.
We are a small family run shoot which takes place over farmland, 6 miles south of Oban, Argyll on the West Coast of Scotland, with some of the best cover for lying up birds.
The shooting commences on the 22nd of November and runs to the 31st of January with opportunities limited as to maintain healthy population.
Early booking is advised.
Advance payment and insurance must be sent to confirm all bookings
