Experience the Best of British Hunting
British Hunting Trips was founded by Ed King with a clear vision and a deep passion for shooting. His mission was to provide visitors with a first-class experience of the British game shooting scene and countryside. With years of experience across England and Scotland, Ed has expertise in all aspects of shooting, including deer stalking, wild fowling, and game shooting.
What sets British Hunting Trips apart is Ed's commitment to sharing his knowledge and passion with others. He believes that the wonders of British shooting should be accessible to all who share his enthusiasm for the sport. Through BHT, he aims to offer a unique opportunity for visitors to immerse themselves in the beauty and thrill of British shooting.
Ed is proud to be able to offer visitors his service as well as a highly experienced team who will be on hand for the full trip.
