See more It is our eyes that guide us through the world. They

shape our perception of our surroundings and all we encounter.
Especially while hunting, it becomes clear that our natural sight is
insufficient to meet our demands. Leica has dedicated itself to giving
the discerning hunter the highest quality in optical instruments.
Where distances are too great or light conditions are poor, the large
selection of innovative sport optics, open new dimensions of human
sight. They open new dimensions of optical performance and go
beyond natural limitations, while at the same time ensuring un­mistakable Leica quality. Our engineers and developers thrive on the
challenge put forth by people with the highest standards and expect­ations in optical performance. As multi-faceted as their applications,
so too are the methods used to create sport optics products that
display images rich in contrast and with outstanding color rendition.
Glass containing fluorite or those with corrected spectral dispersion,
aspherical and achromatic lenses, as well as modern multi-layer
coatings like HDC™ and HighLux-System HLS™ allow for unforget­table viewing experiences. Through our high standards, knowledge,
and dedication we create optical masterpieces, which become the
benchmark of their class.

The hunting experience Conservation, preservation, and

wildlife management are important principles of hunting. However,
for you the hunter, hunting means so much more. It means respect
for wildlife and nature, as well as a true passion. Besides experience,
knowledge and a bit of luck, a hunter needs high quality optics to pro­perly pursue game during low-light conditions. Our quest is to bring
enthusiasts closer to nature, and coupled with our Leica expertise,
make our optical instruments the ideal field companions. Even under
the most grueling conditions, such as extreme temperature changes
and constant physical abuse, our products exceed expectations. The
reason for this being that Leica binoculars, spotting scopes, and laser
rangefinders are the result of many years of experience, uncomprom­ising quality standards and a continuing dedication to excellence.
Leica’s product development is driven by international “Innovation
Teams” comprised of experts and users. This approach has resulted in
numerous patents, e. g. the multifunction center drive of our full-size
binoculars, the dual-focusing device of our spotting scopes and our
unique laser rangefinding technology.

Observe and preserve We see it as our duty to protect the

environment. Therefore, Leica only uses environmentally friendly
materials and technology. As such, all glass is lead- and arsenic-free,
and has been so for years. Leica is also active worldwide in protecting
endangered species and conserving crucial habitat.

Hunting in the United Kingdom Every country has its own

hunting laws and to the visitor the UK might appear restrictive and
traditional, in fact nothing could be further from the truth ! First and
perhaps most importantly is the fact that you don’t need a hunting
permit, as you might in America.

This might take the form of land you
have permission from the owner to use,
or that has been set aside for commer­cial deer hunting (an estate), where you
pay the owner an amount per animal
or per day. Smaller but similar might
be a stalker who owns their own land
and hires it out to shooters. Quite
often trophy and guide fees are added
on top of that. And though the majority
of stalkers own their own rifles, you
don’t need one, as if you decide to go
to an estate you can hire a gun and
ammunition from them.

Species wise we have Red, Sika,
Fallow, Roe, Muntjac and Chinese
Water Deer, with only the Red and Roe
being true native animals. The rest have
been imported over the years, some
as ornamental animals for deer parks,
others for hunting. A good example
might be the Fallow, which is said to
have been brought over after the
Norman conquest of 1066. We also
have one hybrid animal the Red/Sika
cross, depending on your location and
view point these are seen by many as
vermin that’s weakening the traditional
Red deer strain due to inter breeding.
Hence in England and Wales there’s
no closed season on this species.

The Red stag is perceived as the most
sought after trophy animal in the UK and
people will pay a lot of money to go up
to Scottish highlands for the pleasure
of a stalk up on the hills and heather.
Stalking can be hard up there with
potentially long shots and a good deal
of crawling and climbing to get into
position due to the lack of cover.

However and despite their apparent
reputation, the Scottish Red is not as
big as you might imagine ; certainly in
comparison to southern Reds who have
better grazing on arable crops. Whereas
their fodder is of a much lower quality.

Down in Anglia a good Red Hind that’s
been feeding on root crops will often
match the weight of a supposedly big
Scottish stag.

Fallow, which is a medium sized
animal tend to be gregarious and also
migratory. Herds of between 20-40 are
reasonably common. Striking too are
the melonistic strain, which can be in
some cases pure black, which makes
for a very impressive animal and trophy.

Roe tend to move in smaller groups
with a buck and a few does, at some
times, or does and their young at others.
Muntjac and Chinese Water Deer are
more singular by nature and are encoun­tered more in thick woodland than in
the open. Whatever, it’s not about size
and antler, as all species will give you
a decent and challenging hunt.

There is wild boar in the UK and they
are hunted, though they are not that
widespread, but they are breeding and
expanding at a rate. And in the not so
distant future they will probably become
a quarry species like deer.

Hunting in the UK is done a lot from
high seats, which is a highly practical
method. Firing downwards gives you a
safe backstop, so the seats can be sited
in areas where a horizontal shot might
not be safe. Plus and usually on estates
they can be positioned overlooking
where the deer will appear to feed, so
very much guaranteeing the client the
possibility of an animal. But there is also
a lot of foot stalking if you prefer the
thrill of the chase. But both methods
have there plus and minus points.
However, shooting deer from a vehicle
is not allowed, nor is taking them at
night with a lamp. Though it is possible
to apply for a night shooting licence,
but not for sporting purposes, only if
you need to cull for reasons of over­population of excessive crop damage.

But for the sports shooter deer hunting
is dawn to dusk only. Also no shot may
be taken within 100-yards of a road,
for safety reasons.

Terrain-wise the UK has a lot to offer
with woods, moorland, forests, hills and
even mountains. Shots can be close up
or long range, with the more experienced
seeing 300-400-yards as an acceptable
distance. Like the Europeans and
Americans we hunt in all weathers
and seasons ; so be prepared …

Legal requirements are simple as to
the rifle and ammunition, it has to be
a Centrefire calibre and a minimum of
6 mm and able to produce a minimum
muzzle energy of 1700ft/lbs. And the
bullet must be of the expanding type –
soft point, hollow point or ballistic tip.
For most entry-level stalkers the top
choice is either 243 or 308 Winchester.
Also popular though perhaps less
prolific are 6.5 x 55 mm Swedish, 30-06
Springfield and to a lesser degree 270
Winchester. Any and all of these are
more than capable of taking a big Red
stag ; given correct bullet placement and
choice. You also see a few 25-06s and
even 7 x 57 mm Mauser etc and the
308-based calibres like 260 Remington
or 7 mm-08 Remington are becoming
more popular.

Currently there is one exception to
the 6 mm/1700 ft/lb law and that’s
in Scotland where you are allowed to
take smaller species like Roe with a 22
Centrefire. Here calibres like 222, 223
and 22-250 Remington and to a lesser
degree 220 Swift are favoured. Current­ly this is not allowed in England or Wales
who still operate the 6 mm minimum.
However, this might change in the near
future with Roe, Muntjac and Chinese
Water Deer allowed to be taken with a
22 Centrefire.

For example in the USA you would buy a deer tag, which allowed you
to hunt one animal only. Technically the amount of animals you can
shoot here is limitless ; though and as ever good sense, opportunity
and moderation prevail. And all you need is a place to shoot and per­mission to do so.

6 / 7

There are no limitations on sighting
systems, though the telescopic sight is
universally favoured and it’s rare to see
a hunter using iron sights ; unlike in
Europe. For deer hunting in the UK the
most popular rifle is a bolt-action
repeater, with very few shooters opting
for lever-actions, double/single barrels
or even combinations. Pump-actions
and semi-automatics are banned from
ownership and have been since 1988.
Though they are still legal to own in 22
Rimfire format in all of the above
actions.

Hunting or Target Shooting ? The law
insists upon a firearms licence for the
private citizen to be able to own guns
and sees target shooters and hunters as
two separate entities. With the latter
having to nominate land to shoot over or
show that they have access to land, in
the case of buying a day’s stalking on
an estate. So owning a rifle to shoot on
the range does not necessarily allow you
to take it hunting…

However, as a private individual ; once
permission to hunt has been granted
there’s no legal requirement to show
how many animals you have shot. Like­wise on training courses, which are not
mandatory. But our own British Deer
Society (BDS) runs levels of training for
novice and more experienced stalkers,
as does The British Association for
Shooting & Conservation (BASC). They
teach things like deer recognition,
rifle/calibre choice, shot placement,
marksmanship, gutting, skinning and
meat preparation techniques. This is not
mandatory, but good training as always
turns out a better shooter not matter
what their discipline. Since 2006 and if
you run a commercial shoot, such as an
estate and sell the wild/game meat into

the food chain, then it must conform to
European guidelines, as to how it’s be
prepared and offered to a game dealer.
And it also has to be checked by a vet
for diseases and infection. Currently the
private stalker is under no such obliga­tion, as their meat is for private con­sumption only. However and again good
sense should prevail and attending a
BDS or BASC course will show you what
to do and more importantly what to look
out for.

Deer species are reasonably evenly

spread around the UK, though places

like Scotland are considered the home
of the Red Deer, which is in fact far from
the truth as they are quite widespread.
Perhaps the most specialised is the
Chinese Water Deer, which sticks to
wetland areas as the name suggest. We
naturally have open (hunting) and closed
(no hunting) seasons, as to gender and
species type, these differ as to the
country with England and Wales being
the same, though Scotland is different.
It’s interesting to note that the Red/Sika
hybrids are treated like vermin species

in England/Wales (no closed season)
though not in Scotland, yet the Muntjac
and Chinese Water Deer can be shot at
any time of the year wherever they are
found in the UK. Deer in the UK are shot
for a number of reasons and levels,
which includes trophies and meat,
which is becoming more popular in
restaurants, super markets, as well as
specialised butchers. But also to keep
numbers down, as we do have a massive
population of wild animals, which do a
lot of damage to crops and forestry.

Shooters tend to fall into three main
groups, at the bottom we have those
who just want to experience shooting
a deer once or twice a year and maybe
get a bit of meat. Next are the more
traditional stalkers who shoot mainly for
trophies and tend to approach it in a
more stylised manner, which includes
equipment choice. Then there are the
professional shooters who see it as a
living, or as a job that needs doing.
They tend to approach it a bit more
technically with semi or full custom
rifle with bipods, range finders and even
camouflage clothing. They’re job is to
keep numbers down and sell the meat
to game dealers. And it’s this need for
well made, tough and accurate rifles

that has given rise to the spread of the
more technically advanced gunsmiths.
Hunters and shooters them-selves, they
know what the customer wants and are
capable of giving it to them. Deer hunting
is most definitely on the increase across
the whole of the UK and from a European
hunter’s view point the country offers
some fine and challenging sport !

A friend of mine owns a large estate near
Strafford Upon Avon and has a big Fallow
heard, which is maintained purely for
hunting. And many Europeans come over
for the pleaser of stalking one of these
black beasts. He also runs pheasants, so
as you can imagine the deer feed well on
the corn he puts out for the birds, as they
knock over the feeders for that purpose.

All shooting is done not from high seats,
but from raised boxes, which and as I was
to discover is a rather fine way of hunting,
if a bit lazy. I would call it rich man’s
stalking …

I was up there in the rut and the first
time I saw one of the big melanistic bucks
was from a 20 foot high shooting tower.
That almost primordial, grunting noise
they make as they call the does in and
issue challenges to other males is a little
chilling and makes you feel a bit unsettled
and very close to nature. One really nice
male walked right past the tower and I had
a very good view of him. However, he had

already been ear marked for a Swedish
client, so I was just observing.

The shooting boxes are set up all over
the land, which is heavily wooded and I
was in another with the keeper waiting to
thin out the standard Fallow population a
little. Typically the deer get used to the
boxes and will approach very near. We
spotted a small family group – a young

buck, a doe and two fawns, who walked
right up to the box. The male was in
absolutely beautiful condition and his
coat was as rich and glossy as that of a
mole. He was so close that I could have
put my hand out to touch him. I have had
moments like this before when you can
just get really close to wild deer and they
are not frightened. And without doubt this
one will remain with me for ever…

But it was the does that we were after
that day and in another shooting box we
sat at the end of a ride in a wood. The
box is roofed so no problems about the
rain and has three rifle ports. We saw a

lot of deer that afternoon, mainly bucks
and as the light was drawing in I spotted
a doe coming up through the foliage.
She was with other who had fawns but
we couldn’t see if she had one in tow,
as it was they were weaned, but and by
the same token we did not want to take
the chance. Unlike most of my shooting
this was close range and I tracked her
through the scope with the keeper telling
me to stand by to fire if he said so. As
he was checking to see if she had a
young one.

The group came on and the keeper
was still not sure, soon the opportunity
for the shot would disappear. Despite the
number of deer I’ve shot I still get tense
in moments like these, as it’s very much
a yes/no/wait situation. Finally the
keeper said that she was alone and I
could proceed ; checking the sights I
flipped off the safety and bang, down she
went. This all happened in slow motion
and as I operated the bolt to reload,
I recall seeing the empty case eject and
hit the shooting port and started spinning
and come to rest in perfect balance on
the edge of the woodwork. Like seeing
the melanistic Fallow up close, hunting to
me is defined by moments like this, which
is why it’s so special …

Black Deer Quite the most striking looking deer in the UK is the

melanistic Fallow, which due to their genetics produces an animal
that in extreme case is pure black. Physically they look no different
to the traditional spotted variety in size, sex, shape or antler, but their
colouration is amazing. And I have had the pleasure of seeing these
animals up close.

A particular group of six had been
feasting on the sugar beat on one of
the farms I do deer control on and the
farmer was after results from me. Shots
on this land are necessarily long by
nature as the fields are big and the only
cover is in the wooded headlands that
border them. So it’s more ambush
shooting, as stalking up to a group of
alert Fallow looking in all directions on
flat open land is never easy ! So I tend to
use larger and flatter-shooting calibres
with my favourite being 270WSM.

The week before I had taken two out
of the group and was up very early the
next Sunday to carry on the work. With
a near two mile walk from the farmyard
to the fields I skirted the woods staying
in cover as much as possible. Just as the
sun was coming up I glassed across the

field and saw that parcel of four bucks
was moving towards me. It was just then
that my body decided it had to answer
an important call of nature and one that
would not be delayed.

With a final rueful look at the ap­proaching animals I ducked into the
woods and attended to my needs. Rifle
down, pack and coat off and all the time
the deer were getting nearer. When I

had finished I looked up to see them
about 200-ayrds away in the same field.
Luckily I was in cover so bent down
to put my coat on and ready my rifle.
Looking up again and they had gone, it
was almost as if the earth had swallowed
them up. That’s how it happens
sometimes …

Not angry but disappointed I waited
on the off chance, but after about 30
minutes realised that it was all over for
the morning and started walking back
around the field to the farm. The field
dips down to a deep ditch then up again
into another hill field of sugar beat. To
my surprise another big Fallow buck
appeared at the top left of the far field,
instinctively I threw myself down and as
luck would have it he didn’t see me.

If I wanted him I was going to have to

work for it, as he was in a ‘no shoot’
position being in front of a road. Once
and if he moved to his left about 50­yards he would be on the hill, which was
a safe back stop. The only answer was to
crawl from where I was to make the
ditch. Slithering down the slope I made
the cover only to finds it was a bit high.
I didn’t want to be seen so setting up my
shooting sticks for a sitting shot was out

of the question. I deployed my bipod and
waited, hoping he would move far
enough left where I could point my rifle
through the cover to get the shot.
Waiting I heard the mosquitoes buzzing
around and they started to bite me,
but I kept still. He started left as I had
hoped and eventually walked into the
area where I could see to shoot and
that was that …

A funny day, I missed out on my
main target due to unforeseen and
uncontrollable circumstances, but by
sheer luck managed to get another
deer in the bag by a bit of hard work
and patience. That’s hunting.

The Call of Nature Unlike Roe, which tend to move in very

small groups or singly, Fallow are far more gregarious and I have
seen them in herds of up to 40 animals. Like the Roe I have shot a
lot of them, and the big bucks with their large antlers do make some
nice trophies. Quite often the dominant male will drive the younger
mature bucks out of the herd and they tend to join up to make
bachelor groups.

The Duovid class : Two binoculars in one

The LEICA DUOVID 8+12x 42 and 10 +15 x 50 are the only premium
performance binoculars with two magnifications. No matter what
the situation, whether it is over long distances or during critical low­light conditions, the Leica Duovid adapts to it perfectly. The lower
magnification (8 x with the 42 Duovid or 10 x with the 50) allows for
shake-free viewing and a large field of view. By switching to the higher
magnification (12 x or 15 x respectively) one achieves greater detail
recognition. In contrast to monocular add-on power boosters, a
binocular booster is already integrated in the Duovid – lightweight,
easy to operate and with a large field of view. Both models are
well balanced and feature an outstanding ergonomic design, thereby
allowing for virtually shake-free viewing, even at high magnification.
Other technical innovations, such as the Leica HighLux-System HLS™
and the Automatic Diopter Compensation ADC™ when switching
between powers, make the Duovid a unique and versatile instrument.

LEICA DUOVID 8+12x 42

The most flexible hunting binocular : The Duovid’s 12 x and 15 x magnifications are ideally
suited for viewing game over great distances, as well as rendering a detail rich image. On the
other hand, the 8 x and 10 x magnifications allow for a large field of view when glassing an
area for game.

“My Duovid is indispensable when hunting wild boar. It is fantastic how effortless

it makes nighttime viewing.”

(Peter Grieder, hunter and freelance journalist, Switzerland)

LEICA DUOVID10 +15 x 50 – the binocular-spotting scopes With its

15x magnification, the Duovid with 50 mm objective lens bridges the gap between binocular
and spotting scope.

LEICA DUOVID 10 +15 x 50

This Duovid is a high performance binocular that,
with a flick of the wrist, becomes a binocular­spotting scope. The 10x magnification allows
for shake-free viewing and a larger field of view.
By switching to 15 x one achieves a level of detail
recognition previously found only in spotting
scopes. Due to its excellent image quality, the
50mm Duovid is ideally suited for low-light
hunting. To allow for longer, fatigue free viewing,
a tripod is included with the binocular.

The ergonomic design and the soft­touch rubber armoring allow for a secure
and shake-free handling of the binocular,
even while wearing gloves.

LEICA DUOVID 8+12x 42 – the most flexible 42 mm binoculars

Unique 12x magnification in a 42 mm glass, which allows for great detail recognition.

LEICA DUOVID 8 +12 x 42

The compact 42 Duovid offers 8 x magnifica­tion for a large field of view, as well as12x
magnification for greater detail recognition. As
with the 50 mm model, this Duovid features
the sliding eyecups with two click stops, which
ensure the ideal eye relief for every user.

To switch between magnifications, one
must adjust the ring on each tube according­ly. Due to the Automatic Diopter Compensa­tion ADC™ your previously set diopter will
automatically adjust itself to the new magnifi­cation.

“The Duovid is the most versatile hunting binocular. No matter what the situation or the

quarry, the Duovid delivers the perfect optical solution."

(Matthias Suuck, Sales Manager Leica Sport Optics)

Due to its extreme twilight performance, the Duovid achieves great detail recognition
at 12x and 15 x magnification, even under poor light conditions. However, with continued
deteriorating light conditions, one should switch to 8x or 10 x magnification, since the
binoculars render brighter images at lower power settings.

The Ultravid class : Binoculars for extreme demands

Nothing demonstrates what is technically possible today quite as well
as the flagship products of the Ultravid class. The housing and center­shaft of the 50 mm, 42 mm, and 32mm models are made of ultra-light­weight, yet extremely durable, magnesium and titanium. Two light­weight exterior finishes are available : soft-touch rubber armoring or
elegant leather. The use of these ultra-light materials, coupled with
perfectly aligned components, guarantees long-term durability at mini­mal weight. The thumb rests of the 50 mm and 42 mm models and
the sliding eyecups with two click stops of all Ultravid models ensure a
comfortable viewing experience. Their soft, cushioning rubber element
allows for a comfortable positioning of the eye, and due to the click
stops they can be individually set for the perfect eye relief. The strength
of the Ultravid class is due, in large part, to its high image quality.
The Leica HighLux-System HLS™ makes that possible. This innovative
system – comprised of a new highly reflective mirror coating on the
prism surfaces and the optimized optical and mechanical design –
further reduces stray-light and generates an increase in light-transmission
and contrast, thereby creating an unforgettable viewing experience.
These and other technical advances make it obvious that the Ultravid
class is the new reference class in binoculars.

the longevity and make the very low weight of the
Ultravid models possible. Easy to use and nice to
look at : The newly redesigned center drive is a
feat of Leica engineering. The new ring-shaped
window is easy to read and the focusing wheel is
smooth and easy to operate. Because of the short
focusing path of just over one turn, the optimal
point of sharpness is easily found.
