Dear members,
I'll be travelling with the family in southern UK from about 9 august till 17 august. Probably spending a few days in London, then off direction Cotswolds, so my wife can enjoy those quaint old British villages. I was wondering if anyone has any leads on some muntjac or Chinese Waterdeer hunting (or anything else) that would be possible for one or two days? To my understanding these invasive species can be hunted year round?

Thanks,

Jürgen
 
I hunted both this past January with home counties sporting.
About an hour outside London.
Not sure if he hunts them year round or not though.
I wrote a brief report .
First time there and had a really good time.
 
Is Roe deer open in August?
 
Yes Roe bucks are rutting the last week in July/ first week in August in the UK.
 
Hi @VertigoBE I am based in the UK and can recommend a great guide less than an hour from London or the Cotswolds. CWD are out of season, but he has Roe Bucks, Muntjac and Fallow Bucks that would all be in season for you. PM me if you want his details.
 
Hi @pauper, thanks for reaching out. I actually have been in contact with three people already and decided to go for @Spear Safaris ' contact.
Thanks a lot anyway!
Cheers.
V.

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.
Ready for the hunt with HTK Safaris

Hello:
I’ll take the .375 Whitworth for $1,150 if the deal falls through.
Thanks .
