Hunting in England and Wales: Faccombe Estate
Roe & Fallow Deer Stalking
The estate is set in the heart of Hampshire just one hour’s drive from London and is considered to be one of the top shooting locations in the south of England. The perfectly managed rolling valleys provide ideal terrain to stalk Roe and Fallow deer.
The Stalking
The estate offers the option of stalking by foot or from one its many high seats. The keeper has worked on the estate for 18 years and is as resourceful and knowledgeable a stalker as you are likely to find. He will accompany you during the stalk however he will allow experienced stalkers to take the lead if requested. The prime time to conduct the stalk is either at dawn or dusk when the deer are most active and you will be advised prior to arranging your visit as to the best time to come dependant upon local conditions. There is a good chance that you will be given the opportunity to shoot either a bronze, silver or gold trophy Roe Buck.
