Nestled in the heart of the English Lake District, Graythwaite Estate red deer stalking is an unforgettable experience for even the most experienced deer stalker. Steeped in history and been the hunting grounds of our forbears for hundreds of years the estate comprises various landscapes. From woodland surrounded pastures to lakes and steep wooded valleys, open fell ground and thick conifers the estate has a little bit of everything.
Red deer and roe deer are plentiful, herds of 30-40 reds are quite common and from late September when the red stags start to rut, the roars can be heard from miles around. The red deer in this part of the Furness fells are typically short legged, big body and have thick antlers up to 16 points. Being on a reduction cull at the moment means that we have a large number of deer to cull and this also gives us the opportunity to provide whatever the client wishes to shoot. Trophies and cull beasts are all on the menus.
George Sandys grew up on the Graythwaite estate, and spent all his younger days out and about helping his father run the family business. With a large scale timber operation in place deer stalking and deer management has always been an important part of the estate management. Helping with the deer management from the age of 8, it has become part of who he is. He has a wealth of knowledge about both deer management and also the countryside. With a passion for regenerative farming and rebuilding ecosystems, the Graythwaite estate is on an exciting trajectory. We have various deer stalkers who we work with including the estate Gamekeeper Steven J Campbell who has a wealth of deer management knowledge specialising in roe deer.
