Snipe & Woodcock
Nestled in the heart of County Roscommon, West Ireland Sporting Escapes enjoys an ideal location within a richly diverse landscape. The terrain can often be rough and uneven encompassing fir forests and moorlands and provides an ideal backdrop for an authentic hunting experience like no other.
​
At West Ireland Sporting Escapes, we have a range of working dogs for flushing, pointing and retrieving
snipe and woodcock. We are committed to the principles of ethical and sustainable hunting, aligning our
practices with legislation such as the Wildlife Acts 1976 to 2023, which guide our efforts to
conserve wildlife and their habitats.
Our commitment to ethical hunting begins with assisting you in obtaining the necessary permits and licenses. We'll expertly handle all the formalities and provide guidance throughout the process of acquiring your European Firearms License, ensuring you embark on a hassle-free hunting holiday filled with unforgettable experiences.
​
By using traditional hunting methods, we ensure the principle of “fair chase” meaning that hunting should be a challenge. With this ethos, our motivation is not driven by sheer numbers but rather by the quality of the
hunting experience.
