What month is best for hunting haggis?

I'm planning a trip to the highlands for a bit of camping etc. Just wondering whether there is a particular season for hunting haggis?


Additionally, are there any particular methods of haggis hunting I should look into? I was just going to use a pointed stick.What month is best for hunting haggis?
August. They like to fly around in the summer heat, so they're really easy to spot.What month is best for hunting haggis?
Any time but you need not hunt them for they cannot walk or run, nor can they fly or swim. Just visit your butcher's shop and pay your money.
It depends on the variety. If you are hunting the more original Norse/Viking version of hagga, then you do this only in the winter months.





If the variety you are after is the tradtional haggis, then you need to be near a flock of sheep since Haggis are drawn to them for some reason.





Then again, it may also depend on what method of preparation you will be using after you bag the hag so to speak. The oldest recipes may make the haggis taste offal.





I prefer the shotgun for taking the wild haggis but a nine iron works just as well if you are quiet and can sneak up on them.
Well old bean, the pointed stick method is by far the best way, although throwing dynamite at them is also quite affective! It's best done in early springtime when they are looking for mates and their minds are on the females and they take more risks.


Did you know the Haggis is a creature of habit and so it always runs around the hills in the same direction. Consequently two of its legs are always longer then the other two to compensate!


Jolly good hunting!
Actually, you can only hunt Haggis between 18th and 25th January, and the licences are only available on 1st January, but due to most of us Scots being hungover that day, there is not much hunting done!!!!!!
You can't hunt them or they will commit Haggicide. Don't you know that this is an endangered species? You could get arrested.
The proper dispaching of Haggis demands the use of a Claymore (the sword, of course, not the mine). Anythng else would be considered gauche by your hosts. Haggis is considered a decicacy by the Scotts. However, one must remember that the Scotts are the same people who brought us the bag pipe and tried to tell us that the sound that it made was music. When it comes to bag pipes and Haggis, proceed with caution
the haggis is very illusive and hard to catch as they have 2 legs longer on one side than they are on the other. this is for climbing hills. u could pretend to be a massive boulder to catch one as they like to lie on the rocks to catch the rays in the morning.





I hope ur not gonna kill one as they are an endangered species. so much so that no-ones ever seen 1.
Haggis is the boiled liver,kidneys,of a sheep inside the stomach of the same animal with onions,and barly. It is a recipe not an animal of its own. to the best of my kinowledge
The summer months are the best times for hunting haggis, I've picked up many on weekends in the highlands.


I like the pointed stick method too, but if you're not in scotland often and want to see them up close you could get them by leaving a dram of whiskey out and catching them with a net, this allows you a close look and then you just knock their head off the ground like in fishing.


Happy hunting!
Best go now old boy, I think they're known to hibernate over the summer months.





D----d odd creatures they are, as big as a horse and vicious too. Dispense with a stick and take a couple of rifles, as good old Lord Roxton did on that South American jaunt of his and Challenger's a few years back.





If you need another member of your hunting party then may I join you? The Duchess keeps harping on about my failure to take an abstainence pledge.
January for the long legged haggis


February is time for the love struck haggis (watch the lips)


March is hairy haggis season


April is short A**e season


May is short bouncing season


June (my favourite) Scared haggis


July long eared haggis


August short eared haggis


september is any haggis that has sight problems ( these are easy to spot as they all wear glassses)


October is nocturnal haggis (comes out only after dark)


November is the Rampant Haggis usually get 2 with one shot as they ,,, you know,,,,


December is the festive haggis, a hard one to get cos they hide under holly and ivy, but if you look very carefully you will just see the tip of their paper xmas hat





Good luck, if you don't get one this year then try Tesco for their everday frozen haggis, not quite the same in a ice lolly
The main hunting season is Haggisember, however they have also been known to be spotted in July. Happy hunting and Good Luck!





Edit: Hunting Method: Haggis are very partial to gin and tonic, leaving glasses full of the stuff dotted around their natural habitat usually works wonders. The haggis drink their tipple, get drunk and fall over, therefore making it much easier for the discerning hunter to reap the benefits.
All year round... but unfortunately you have to be trained by the great butchers association in order to catch them. You also need a thistle whistle and a portable x-ray mass spectrometer. The Scottish tradition, of drinking three large bottles of scotch must be upheld in order to invoke the haggis to reveal itself.
You appear to have been duped by the answers given to you, haggis is not a creature, it is food that uses many ingredients, mostly spices and herbs and offal and lungs, with the choice cuts of meat then wrapped within a sheeps stomach ( the sheep is dead for this purpose, and the stomach removed). If you use a pointed stick the inards will ooze out into the boiling water spoiling the taste.
I saw one once while I was out Snipe hunting, wouldn't want to mess with one, they're VICIOUS.
