November 1st to March 31st
Hunt Chinese Water Deer (CWD) and Muntjac on a private 1,000-acre Norfolk estate, just two hours from
London. This is classic English countryside stalking – moving through arable fields at first light, working
hedgerows and woodland edges, and taking close-range shots that test your fieldcraft.
You’ll stay at Gowthorpe Manor, a 16th-century Elizabethan manor house at the heart of the hunting
ground. The estate holds healthy populations of both CWD and muntjac, with the variety of terrain – open
fields, dense woodland, hedgerows, and field margins – offering a different challenge with each outing.
Mornings start early with a stalk at first light. After breakfast back at the Manor and time to relax, you’ll
head out again for an afternoon or evening hunt. All meals and drinks are included – a full English
breakfast, lunch, and a three-course dinner each evening.
