Essentially woodcock hunting zone, with hounds on open areas, but also more closed environments for hunter who don’t want to walk too much.
Our guides prefer a throughout the day presence on the ground. Anyhow, they fit the hunting day depending on the hunter’s wish, but also on weather conditions. You can choose to hunt woodcock on wide open territories rather with pointing breeds, or on more covered “bushy” grounds with small retrievers. We recommend you to see it all with your guide before hunting. Your own dogs are welcomed, but our guides have excellent pointing breeds and they will be at your disposal if you choose them.

Success depends on migration, even if the number of game taken is significant. We have had many very positive feedback from our hunting friends.
Country Information
Ireland is divided between the Republic of Ireland (officially named Ireland), which covers five-sixths of the island, and Northern Ireland, which is part of the United Kingdom. The official currency is €.
This journey takes place in wintertime on the West coast of the country, so it will be expected to an inclement weather with rain, wind and a low temperature near zero degrees. But these are the ideal conditions for the migration of Woodcock…
Firearms and Equipment
If you want to hunt with your own gun a hunting & firearm licence should be issued by the Irish authorities. The process takes 8 weeks and you will be required to provide a color copy of your European firearms pass as well as of your ID card, hunting licence and insurance. A weapon & ammunition could be rented at place. We have some rifles on site. Generally 12 gauge. We can rent them to you.
In terms of equipment, never forget that you are going to hunt in Ireland and that the weather can be rainy and changeable. The weather is variable and the days can be sunny at times, rainy too … you can’t know in advance. Take quite a lot of clothes and varied, even if our accommodation offers a room to dry your clothes in the evening! Backpack, good boots…
To get on location
Our contracted areas are located in Kerry, in the Southwest of Ireland. Hunters must travel by their own means (airplane with car rental or personal car). Upon request, we can send you a list indicating the different possibilities to get there.
For those who will go there by plane, Aer Lingus offers many flights landing in Cork or Dublin, but none of these companies accepts transportation of dogs. Attention: Ryan Air does not accept weapons’ transport.
Some practical tips
According to your choice, you will have some expenses to be paid at place. In case of the full-board accommodation at least the drinks and some tips. Some more in the half-board pack… The Irish like not too much credit cards. You’d better to realize a cash withdrawal from an ATM in Waterville.
Do not hesitate to bring a few bottle of your favorite drink for a higher developed conviviality with your Irish hosts.
