 Driven/Walked-up
Grouse Shooting
Season:
12th August to 10th December
This
exciting and wonderful sport is arguably the most popular field sport
there is, therefore making the availability of quality shooting difficult
to find. However, this agency has contacts on most of the better moors
in both Scotland and The Northern Counties of England. Due to its popularity
it is strongly advised that any enquiries should be made as early as
possible to avoid disappointment.
Each
moor is usually butted for up to 9 guns, and each day comprises 5 to
7 drives - 4 or 5 in the morning and 2 or 3 in the afternoon.
Walked
up Grouse shooting can be a strenuous exercise, walking long distances
under heavy conditions and is definitely for the fitter shooting fraternity.
Partridge
Shooting
Season:
1st September to 1st February
 This
sport is becoming more and more popular with an ever increasing number
of estates enlarging their shooting programme to incorporate this exciting
and testing shooting. The most popular reared bird is Red-legged or
French Partridge, this bird being easier to rear than the Grey or English
Partridge.
Both
Grey and Red-legged Partridge shooting is available throughout the country,
with a mixed day of Partridges and Pheasants from mid-October onwards
becoming ever more popular.
