Hi all,
For some reason I only tend to post in the bows section but after meeting Nathan at the weekend he suggested you guys might like to see a few photos of bows in Scotland.
Not being a fan of clubs and all that I decided my stag doo would be camping, shooting, canoeing and drinking in a beautiful location.
So a few photos to pass the time :)

There is fishing in the loch but the local Estate owners do not permit it. If you were to fish I bet you could catch a 10lb pike just off the rocks with a small spinner, at about 6pm ;) ;)..... not that i would do such a thing.
Lots of wild goat, deer but alas no hunting allowed especially not with a bow as its illegal in the UK.

Believe it or not the access laws in Scotland are much more relaxed than England, Ireland and Wales.
At least is Scotland we can camp pretty much anywhere we like "right to roam" unlike England where you need prior permission from the land owner :(
All of England is "owned" by someone which is a hang-over from the days of the Romans, Normans and subsequent royals and gentry.
Fishing is usually a "day ticket" kind of affair which is fair enough but some land owners just like to take a stance of NO. Basically we dont want you here in the first place so we will hang onto the last bit of control we have.
Shame really

Looks like you guy's had a lot of fun don't know how you guy's didn't leave one fly at the goats got more pics.

Oh how I wish I had been there to share the trip! No better remedy to spring fever than an outing like this. Funny how the fresh air and a little woodsmoke makes any knock-up meal a feast!
Plus it would have been extra special for me. The wee bit of Scots blood in me would have risen up with a little taste of single malt to hold off the cold.

Enjoyed your post! Lakes, mountains, canoes, bows and arrows..... it doesn't get much better than that. Beautiful country. I sure want to see it one day.

Great pic's !....Thanks for sharing them......Looks so much like alot of the country around here. We're having some problems over here with society, but.......we do have room to roam still. ( Thank God for public land ) Sprung from Scot's blood on my fathers side of the family and would love to come see your country someday. (Also, I have an affinity for the speyside single malts) I Tie spey patterns for salmon and steelhead and fish them two handed. Got alot to see over there. Hope I live long enough. ' Frank
