About this hunt
Woodcock Shooting in Scotland is one of the most challenging activities offered by Sercout Wild Harvest and it is best enjoyed by experienced hunters. Often found in woods and wet grounds, they feed nocturnally around streams, pasture fields and on boggy ground, but prefer dense cover during the day. The resident population in Britain is increased by a large over-wintering migrant population. It is thought by some that the bulk of this migration coincides with the first full moon in November. Woodcocks rank amid the most fascinating game birds in the world, as they migrate all across Europe and the surrounding areas. Woodcock shooting in Scotland is extremely difficult because the birds are small and fast moving, and they typically break very late when disturbed. This provides quite a challenge at close to medium range, with incredibly fast reactions being needed to bring down such an elusive quarry. Woodcocks take their name from their preferred habitat, requiring hunters to be positioned in tactical locations, while a select part of the team focuses on drawing the birds out. Walked-Up woodcock hunting in Scotland and Snipe Shooting is also available.

The greatest outfitter I’ve ever dealt with!
Sergio and his staff were the most professional and exceptional outfitter I have ever had the pleasure to work with. This hunt was booked by a buddy of mine and I on a lark and boy were we blown away at the experience. Not to often in todays day and age are we blessed with an experience above our expectations. Well, I’m happy to admit this was so far our expectations we could not have dreamt for a better trip. As they say there are no guarantees (outside of close quarters high fence hunting). But in a wide open public landscape Sergio and his staff put us on some of the largest animals I could have imagined and we all ended up taking two home. These guys are part animal and part hunter. Their ability to find and track game was beyond my understanding. Now we hiked, don’t get me wrong. But there is nothing more exhilarating after a several mile stalk and hours dedicated to land a medal record animal. Just can’t say enough about these guys. Long and short, we booked for next year on day 3 of our hunt if that tells you anything. We will be back to hunt what we are now calling Jurassic Park Portugal Edition. Lol
When it was time to go home!
Sergio and Tiago are outstanding
From the very start these gentlemen were prompt and honest. Their only objective was to make sure we had an enjoyable experience. Top notch guides. They love to see their clients have an enjoyable time with plenty of laughs. I can’t say enough good things about them.
I had to leave! Sergio’s white legs🤪
Excellent Hunting Day
Everything perfect from the nice and confort Accommodation to wonderful experienced Hunting day. Thank you Sergio
