What a fantastic day myself and Orla MacKenzie The What a fantastic day myself and Orla MacKenzie The Gamekeepers Daughter had last Monday. It's been a while since I've been on a driven day, it brought back lots of memories of when I started out on my Gamekeeping career and spent many wonderful years on a commercial driven shoot, I also understood what I've been missing, the guns, the beaters, the pickers up and the banter, it's what a driven day is all about 😁. It was great for Orla too, she got to experience another aspect of the varied roles of Keepering. So, next year we are going to.make the effort to attend more driven days as beaters or part of a picking up team. A huge thank you to Byron Pace and his parents for opening up there home to us and keeping us fed and watered. A big thank you to everyone on the day that looked after us both, we were made to feel very welcome.Thank you to Ian W. Rae for chauffeuring us around (Orla now wants a Grenadier 😂). And of course a thank you to my boss for making the day happen, it was fantastic 👏. #fieldsports #drivenshooting #gamekeeper #mentalhealth #goodfriends

The rut for us really brings to light the many years of thoughtful deer management, seeing mature stags in great condition spread throughout the estate is so rewarding. #deermanagement #scotlandsiconicdeer #highlandsandislands #hebrides #IsleOfSkye #cuidichnafèidh #gamekeeping #reddeer
Cleaning the Haenel ready for next week, I'm sat w Cleaning the Haenel ready for next week, I'm sat with a dram in the gun room reflecting on all the guests that have passed through its doors. Man, there's been some good craic in here over the years. Estate gun rooms have been the source of fantastic banter, the three Estates I have had the pleasure to serve on over my 35 years have provided me with many a great tale,,, and jokes,,, heres hopefully to a few more years yet,,, Slainte 🥃🥃🥃. #isleofskye #hebrides #highlandsandislands #deermanagement #cuidichnafèidh #scotlandsiconicdeer #scotland

The clarity of this scope is amazing, very sharp and just sucks up the light brilliantly. Got a wee bit of footage of one of our big chaps holding his usual ridge, he has already gathered a fare muckle of Hinds. #isleofskye #hebrides #highlandsandislands #deermanagement #scotlandsiconicdeer #cuidichnafèidh #fieldsports
