Majestic capercaillie hunt on skis at -30°C

It’s one of the most dramatic landscapes we have hunted. Paul Childerley is after Capercaillie in winter, with snow deep on the ground and the birds hidden in the majesty of the Arctic tundra. He and David are on skis for four days, learning a new style of hunting and in awe of the place.

A capercaillie and black grouse hunt with either Robert or Fredrik will cost £3,000ish for one person and £4,000ish for two. That buys a four-night, three-day hunt with transfers, food, accommodation and with rifle and ski loan included.

Why do we support hunting tourism?
Hunting tourism is at the forefront of wildlife conservation. People going abroad to hunt are what pays for conservation, the world over. Species that hunters have brought back from the brink of extinction include the bontebok and the markhor goat.
The modern problem for trophy hunting began with the Cecil The Lion story in 2015, when a US hunting tourist called Walter Palmer shot a lion in Zimbabwe. The animal rights lobby successfully presented it as an animal called 'Cecil', claiming it was popular with tourists. Most of the money they raised from the Cecil incident paid for lobbying, not conservation. Worldwide government actions following the incident led to some of the biggest and most tragic wildlife slaughters ever seen in Africa. As trophy bans fell into place, wildlife poaching boomed.
By the beginning of 2018, a kneejerk US trophy import ban on Tanzanian elephant and lion trophies was beginning to have real – and potentially devastating – consequences, including the loss of decades of successful nature conservation. Happily, the US reversed that decision.
When it comes to wildlife, there are two kinds of African countries: wildlife winners, which allow hunting and have healthy populations of wildlife; and wildlife losers, where hunting is banned. It is no coincidence that the last northern white rhino died in Kenya, an anti-hunting country.
