• ExperienceThe people with the broadest experiences are those who venture furthest from the well-trodden path. Hunting, like no other activity can, take us furthest from the safely-worn tracks of modern life and reconnects us to the timelessness of the natural world. Through these raw, unfiltered experiences ageless memories are formed, and stories are born, and grow in the telling.

• EmotionsThe hunt, by its very nature, is a time when all of our senses are heightened. Every muscle-fibre and nerve is wound tight with anticipation. Yet hunting requires calmness under pressure. Who can truly describe the unique emotions that courses through the hunter's veins?

• PassionHunting requires determination and dedication: we tackle the harshest of landscapes, from the open plains to the frozen mountaintops; we take on rain, snow, wind and baking sun - at times it can be downright miserable, so why do we keep coming back? Because a passion is a passion, and the challenge is what makes it special.

• TraditionsHumans have been hunters since the dawn of time. Over centuries, even millenia, traditions and customs surrounding the hunt have arisen. The tweeds of Great Britain, the sound of the hunting horn, the laying out of the game after the hunt, these things are done to honour our noble quarry. It is the differences between traditions that help to distinguish one hunting culture from another, but they are also binds us all together.
