The Pageantry of Danish shooting
Denmark
Frontiers’ Denmark shooting programs are coordinated exclusively through and hosted by our capable and personable Danish Shooting Director, Jens Torp. We use the finest estates in our itineraries, offering not only spectacular numbers, but also superior sporting quality game birds. These are in prime condition and fly hard, high, and fast across a wide variety of shooting stations, from breezy seaside fields to stately beech forests. The mallard season begins in September, followed by pheasants (with some mallards intermixed) from early-October through November. It’s great shooting for the veteran as well as the firsttime gunner.
Enjoy outstanding accommodations and gourmet cuisine without stilted formality. Most of our trips include a stay at renowned Falsled Kro, the finest countryside accommodation and cuisine in all of Scandinavia. Elegant manor houses and castles on expansive estates are also available for private shooting parties. Guests stay at the recently renovated, luxurious Hotel d’Angleterre in Copenhagen’s city center, ideally located for sightseeing and adjacent to the Strøget walking street, famous for its designer shops, cafes, and vibrant atmosphere.
Experience warm and friendly service in a lovely country where English is everyone’s second language, rolling green fields and large forests in an uncrowded countryside, pheasants and mallards presented in a challenging manner, crackling firesides, and, perhaps most importantly, great company.
Frontiers pioneered these classic estate shoots of Denmark back in the mid-70s. Come discover why shooters and non-shooters alike enjoy memorable days afield for both driven pheasants and mallards. The colorful traditions of European shooting are still alive and well, revered in Denmark today with well-bred, expertly trained dogs retrieving beautifully and the traditional game parade at the end of the day.
Combine all of this with the warm, friendly service of English-speaking Danish hosts, who are with shooters each day in the field and accompany non-shooting guests through a kaleidoscope of activities, and you have the quintessential couple’s sporting vacation. With well over 40 operational seasons in Denmark, this program continues to get better each season, and our clients love the experience.
