Kildermorie is a well-known deer forest, with the ground rising from 300 to 2,750 feet naturally forming two beats for red deer which can be stalked in any wind. Traditional garrons are used, where practicable, for bringing beasts off the hill to what is reputedly one of the best deer larders in Scotland. The Estate also offers stalking for sika deer in the forested areas.

Fishing is only from boat or bank (there is no wading). There is also fly fishing for salmon (4 rods) on a prime beat of the lower River Alness, (averaging 50 salmon per annum).
