As one of the newest and most rapidly developing of our fieldsports, lowland deerstalking is more prepared than most other countryside activities to adapt to new developments in kit and clothing.
Tradition and convention may box the game shooter into a neo-Edwardian time warp of tweed and tattersall check, but woodland deerstalkers are far more willing to accept the clothing styles popular in Scandinavia, continental Europe and the US, long ago having binned their breeks and tweed caps in favour of scandi-pants, camo jackets and baseball caps.
Certainly, a whiff of tradition remains on the Scottish hills, but even in the Highlands where the more conservative estate stalkers may don their tweeds for the start of the stag season each year, you’d be very hard pushed nowadays to spot a pair of plus-fours on the hill during a wild winter’s day after the hinds.
