On Point Adventures

Experience the pinnacle of Victorian deer hunting: the heart-pounding moment a dog locks onto a scent in the thick Sambar scrub. On Point Adventures offers a unique opportunity to hunt over two of the best in the business—Biggie (GSP) and Vagas (English Pointer)—while mastering the art of gundog handling yourself.

Whether you are looking to harvest a trophy stag or want to learn how to turn your own pup into a professional hunting partner, Matty Wright’s specialized pointer sessions bridge the gap between world-class hunting and expert education.
