New for the 2009/10 season a 1 gun syndicate shooting 8 days with an
approximate bag of 200 birds per day.
Ashby St Ledgers Shoot is run over 2500 acres of undulating mixed
arable and dairy farmland all of which is in the countryside
stewardship scheme with over 25 kilometres of grass margins
benefiting game and other wildlife. A 14 acre lake surrounded by
woodland dominates the northern end of the shoot whilst the more
open undulating south and eastern part is more suited to partridge
only (early season) and mixed drives
later on.
Around thirty drives are available, many from game cover
strategically placed to provide the best birds possible .Maize,
millet ,sorghum, artichokes, sweet clover and chicory are all used
to hold and flush birds from and in some cases provide feed
throughout the shooting season.
The drives are pegged for 9 guns but the shoot caters from 8 - 10 as
required. Partridge, Pheasant or mixed days are sold, any can be
taken with duck drives.
Refreshments are provided throughout the day. An optional evening
meal can be provided at extra cost.
Evening duck and goose flights can be arranged.
Muntjac stalking from high seats situated in woodland is also
available.
All prices on application.
