Sporting
Stalking
Fearna is compact but due to relatively low altitude and pockets of good quality grazing it has a small herd of resident hinds. The estate has typically been lightly stalked but hind numbers have increased and accordingly the estate can offer stalking for up to 3-4 Red deer stags a year. The land can be accessed by a 6 wheel ATV vehicle or more traditionally on foot.
Fishing
There is enjoyable wild brown trout fishing on any of the many hill lochs with some modest spate salmon fishing on a tributary of the Inver.
Shooting
There is some walked up rough shooting for woodcock and snipe and the possibility of a grouse. With little effort or expenditure the lochs could be used as duck flighting ponds.
