Derry Quay's Pedigress in Woodcock and Snipe Hunting
Derry Quay Lodge has three generations of experience in, duck, woodcock and snipe hunting. Here, you will be guided through out your stay with an experienced guide in both woodcock and snipe and along with his beaters and pickers provide a very professional approach to the hunt which in turn always makes the occasion a memorable one.
The woodcock, which is always driven, is a mix of natural woodland and some carefully selected forestry in the local area.
Snipe is always walked up on some of the most beautiful bogs in the west of Ireland.
Depending on the weather conditions we may also get some duck on the lake which is right outside you front door in Derry Quay Lodge this hunting is usually done early in the morning.
Derry Quay Lodge always provides varied and exciting rough shooting but it should be remembered that woodcock, snipe and duck are migratory birds and they are very dependent on the weather.

We leave the house at 9.30am, and usually return for lunch whether it is in the house or the local pub - and then keep going until dark. You may then sample the Guinness in a local pub before returning to change for dinner, and the relaxing in front of the big open fire to discuss tactics for the following morning our just about the ones that got away!
Guns and companions usually arrive on a Saturday afternoon and depart on the following Saturday. The shoot starts on the Sunday morning and finishes on the Friday evening.
