Testimonials
"Hi Craig and Woody. I would like to thank you both very much for a wonderful weekend on the Suffolk Estate Fallow Shoot. I hope being the first woman was not too much of a challenge to you both and I sincerely believe more women should take up this very satisfying sport. I was lucky to see many Fallow and Muntjac Deer and had successful kills. The high seats with the added cushion was comfortable to sit in and gave excellent shooting positions and views. I very much look forward to shooting with you again soon."
Regards Val - January 2012
" PS. The only thing missing (for us women) is a toilet at the base of the seat, just to keep the ticks off the bum."
"Dear Craig, Just a note to say how impressed I was with the quality of instruction I received on the day spent with Hunting Experiences in Scotland. John could not be faulted on the effort he put in to make the day successful. His obvious knowledge of the ground made for a real hunting experience, coupled with his impeccably behaved deer dog allowed the maximum to made from the day."
Many thanks Neil W - October 2011
" Me and my wife had a fantastic weekend but more so me! The whole experience was excellent from start to finish and was just what I was expecting. Jonathon who I went out with was a top guy, clearly with a wide range of knowledge on deer stalking, every question I put to him he answered and I thoroughly enjoyed his company on both days(cracking dog as well).After this weekend I am seriously wanting to take stalking up as a hobby and hopefully with some help from you guys I will be able to do this. I am currently trying to sort some dates out and get up there again. Be in touch soon."

" I would like to take this opportunity to thank Craig & Woody along with everyone else at Hunting Experiences for a truly memorable weekend. As a relatively novice stalker, the knowledge, expertise and guidance that Woody and Craig were able to offer was invaluable and has deepened my interest and enthusiasm for the sport. My fellow stalkers were a source of great entertainment and the banter never stopped. The accommodation was superb and the breakfast will become legendary for the extremely generous and tasty portion that you get for so few pounds I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone who has an interest in stalking and I can’t wait to go back. Thanks for such a great experience."

"Just a short note of thanks to Hunting Experiences. I met Craig and John, very down to earth lads, in Ipswich for a weekend on Muntjac and Fallow. What a good do. It was my first time in the high chair and I thoroughly enjoyed it. John and Craig did their best for the lads on the hunt. They organised the accommodation, which was superb, and a Saturday night out. The stalking grounds are fantastic and the land owner Stewart is a good fellow whose set up for stalking, ground control and larder work is great. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend these to anyone interested in this sport."

"Just a short note to thank Craig and 'woody' aka Jonathan for a fantastic stalking trip to Suffolk. As a novice stalker I booked this trip with much trepidation but these fears were quashed as soon as I met you both at our overnight accommodation. You both conducted yourselves with the utmost professionalism briefing the group with all the required details of the quarry involved and of all the safety aspects required. We had 4 very memorable stalks bagging plenty of muntjac deer along the way. Yourself and Woody were incredibly informative and patient throughout the whole process from taking the shot to preparing the carcass for the larder. I would, without question, recommend any stalker whether novice or experienced to book a trip."

"Following a recommendation from a good friend I contacted Craig at Hunting Experiences about the possibility of a trip to Suffolk in search of Muntjac. Within days all the arrangements had been made. With a vehicle full of enthusiasm we drove to the estate farm where we were to enjoy four stalks over the weekend, we were not disappointed. The brief, the people, the facilities and the stalks were well organised and professional. Totally enjoyable and no hidden surprises. I look forward to a trip north soon."

"Many thanks for this weekend it was superb! The knowledge of the local area was spot on, and hence sightings of plenty of deer resulted, plus my first cull! Definitely a weekend to be remembered for a long time. All arrangements ran as they should and I had no doubt at any time that you knew exactly what you were talking about. Shame about the weather but we cant have everything!
Many thanks for your help and for arranging a great weekend, will definitely be back soon."
All the best

"I'm a Brit living abroad ( Scandinavia ). I travel “home” for Roe stalking whenever possible. Ive booked trips with Jonathan Wood, in Durham area, the last several years and always been satisfied. Seen Deer on most outings, Woody does his best to get me in position for a shot, with safety being the main criteria. Managed to cull Roe and Muntjac on one of Woody’s many permissions. I`ll be back again end of next month for a try at Roe. "

"I have accompanied John on a number of occasions throughout England and Scotland, we have seen various species of deer and have shot a fair few, and John is very knowledgeable and friendly and likes to keep his clients happy."

"I have now been on numerous trips to Scotland with woody (John Wood) and have never come home disappointed. The trips are always informal, enjoyable and professional. We normally arrive in time to sort the digs, have a bite to eat and chill out before heading out for an evening stalk. Woody certainly knows his ground and his deer. We all know there is no guarantee when it comes to stalking, but woody always seems to pull things off. Back to the digs after the stalk and then it’s normally wine, pate and great crack before getting our heads down.
Back out before the crack of dawn to get into a vantage point and watch the sun come up. Woody will way up the variables and soon have you stalking deer.
Back to base camp where Woody will serve up a full breakfast supplied by the local game dealer, before heading back down the motorway. "

"I want to thank you for all the arrangements and help we received from you while hunting in Scotland. You showed a high level of honesty and professionalism. James the stalker showed a good knowledge of his job. He made everything very easy. We shot two Roebucks on two morning stalks a 100% record. We will certainly come back for another brilliant experience ."
Many thanks
