No fences. No high seats. No shortcuts. The deer get the wind, the sight lines, and the home-ground advantage. You earn the shot or you walk off empty-handed.
Lodge, meals, guiding, rifle hire, ammunition, airport transfers. One number, no surprises. The trip you booked is the trip you get.
A year ago I was sitting in a seventh-floor office in the City of London, working at a management consultancy and thoroughly miserable. One Facebook advert and a two-minute call with my dad later, I'd handed in my notice and was driving north to ghillie a season in the Outer Hebrides.
That season changed everything. Griffin is what came out of it β an outfitting business built on the kind of attention to detail that only a founder-led operation can offer.
