Grouse Shooting

The Red Grouse thrives across the northern reaches of England and Scotland, presenting what many consider the pinnacle of game bird shooting challenges globally. Achieving speeds of 70mph and above, these birds approach at eye level, offering an unparalleled thrill in field sports. Grouse shooting tests even the most skilled marksmen, many of whom find the bird's pace and agility a formidable challenge.

Participants can engage in Grouse shooting through two main methods: driven shooting and walked-up shooting.

Driven shooting ranks among the most prestigious wing shooting experiences worldwide. Walked-up shooting, in contrast, is renowned for the satisfaction derived from traversing miles of moorland in pursuit of Grouse, earning one's supper through effort and skill.

As wild birds that cannot be bred in captivity, Red Grouse populations on the moors necessitate careful management to remain robust. Population numbers naturally ebb and flow, influenced by weather and conservation practices. The shooting season extends from 12th August, celebrated as "The Glorious Twelfth," until 10th December, though the duration may vary based on annual population assessments.
