Guided personally by George or a hand-picked local hunter on our 1,000-acre family estate.
16th-century Elizabethan family manor — oak beams, period furniture, drawing room fire.
Full English breakfast, lunch, three-course dinner with house wines and spirits.
Roe season April–October. Best dates around the July–August rut book out first.
Moving through arable fields at first light, working hedgerows and woodland edges, and taking close-range shots that test your fieldcraft. This is classic English countryside hunting — quiet, considered, and unlike anything else in British deer hunting.
Time your trip to coincide with the roe rut in July and August for the fast-paced calling work. Territorial bucks respond aggressively to calling, with shots coming quickly and at close range — engaging and intense.
At the end of each day, you head back to the manor for a drink in the drawing room and a three-course dinner.
All-inclusive at our family Norfolk estate.
Time your trip with the roe rut (July–August) for the fast-paced calling work. Not included: flights, trophy export, gratuities.

A Grade II listed Elizabethan manor house dating from the 1520s, set in the heart of our 1,000-acre family estate. Oak beams, period furniture, a drawing room with a fireplace, and the kind of character that only five centuries of history can produce. The hallways are lined with sporting prints and trophies.
Bedrooms are individually furnished with comfortable beds, and the manor has a freestanding roll-top bath for those who want to soak after a day in the field. Meals are taken in the dining room — a full English breakfast, a relaxed lunch, and a locally sourced three-course dinner each evening. House drinks included throughout.

Raised on the family farm in the south of England, George developed his fieldcraft early. After Durham University and six years as a management consultant in London, he moved to the Outer Hebrides to work as a professional deer hunter and fishing guide.
It was a handful of encouraging American clients who convinced him to start his own outfitter — and Griffin Sporting Club was born to deliver traditional, hosted British fieldsports to visiting hunters.
Most American clients prefer WhatsApp — it works across the time difference. Send a message and he'll be back within hours.

Tell us a little about your trip and we'll be in touch within 24 hours. No pressure — just an honest conversation about what to expect.
No — rifle, ammunition and licensing are all included. We recommend using the estate rifle: a Sako S20 in .270 with a sound moderator, sighted in and used on this ground week-in week-out. You're welcome to bring your own, though — UK firearm permits are straightforward for visitors and we'll walk you through the paperwork well in advance.
We hand-deliver to our export partner. Roe and muntjac are non-CITES — trophies typically arrive at your door within 60 days.
July–August during the roe rut for fast-paced calling. April–June for early-season territory work. Muntjac year-round.
Low. This is gentle countryside walking — flat terrain, short distances, considered stalks rather than big hill days.
Yes. Observers stay at the manor for $500, or add sightseeing for $1,000 — Norfolk Broads, Norwich Cathedral, country parks.
