 Traditionally
Roe deer stalking is done at dawn and dusk, although depending on
the time of year, weather conditions and particularly during the
rut (mating season) the secretive roe deer may change its normal
activity and be found more active during the day.
Here at Greenlee we carry out our deer stalking in a variety of
ways. It can be either on foot, quietly and slowly stalking the
terrain. From hides, strategically placed and situated at ground
level where the deer stalker patiently waits and views the surrounding
area for movement, or from high seats, much like hides, but as the
term suggests, set above ground level.  It
is by using this method that the most interesting movement and behaviour
of wildlife is seen, a favourite for photographers and wildlife
watchers.
- At Greenlee House the terrain is mixed and outings can be tailor
made to suit the guest's personal preference.
- We are flexible and stalking is made available 7days a week
catering for the individual or for parties of up to four rifles
and their guests.
- Our stalking is conducted with up to two rifles per stalking
guide and to a maximum of four rifles.
All skill levels catered for
Novices to this exciting and challenging activity are welcome.
The guest does not have to own a rifle or be in possession of a
Fire Arm Certificate. The estate rifle facility is freely made available.
There is no shortage of challenging stalking for the more experienced
stalker.
Dogs & Kennels
 At
Greenlee we have bred our own English Springer Spaniels and chocolate
Labradors for many years. Our dogs are all pedigree registered under
the kennel club name Sweetrigg. The dogs are trained by Jon specifically
to accompany deer stalking and are used in the unusual circumstance
of a follow up on culled deer being necessary. We currently have
six dogs in various stages of training. Patch, Dill, Cleo, Pip,
Bess and Meg. Bess and Meg are in what could be called "well earned
graceful retirement". We regularly have new puppies to bring along
and many of the dogs we have bred are enjoying active lives in the
shooting sports community throughout the British Isles.
Your own dogs are welcome and given notice kennels are freely available
for guests dogs if required.
