Grouse SHOOTING
The Grouse shooting season runs from August 12th to December 10th on mainland Great Britain.
August 12th, commonly referred to as 'the Glorious Twelfth,' signifies the beginning of the season. Throughout this period, shooters from around the world flocked to the moors of Scotland and Northern England. The grouse are wild and not artificially reared, and driven grouse shooting is the only commercially viable method of managing a grouse moor, which helps preserve this crucial habitat.
Most grouse shooting occurs in a formal setting, with birds being driven over the shooters. The Guns are situated in butts, and the birds are propelled towards them by beaters. There is a strict code of conduct governing behavior on the grouse moor, focused on safety and etiquette. Grouse shooting can also involve 'walking up' grouse over pointers or flushing the birds with other dogs.
We are delighted to offer Driven Grouse days throughout the season, on some of the finest moors in England and Scotland.
