Grouse Hunting is available at: England Russia Scotland Grouse Hunting The English aristocracy has a long tradition of driven grouse shooting. The season begins on the "Glorious 12th" of August when the birds are plentiful. A grouse flying downwind at 10 feet off the ground makes a challenging target for the best shot. This sporting holiday is conducted in the English tradition and may include accommodations in a castle and first class cuisine. This is an opportunity for non-shooting spouses to accompany the shooters and have a great time.
