Stephen-H Posted June 29, 2023 Report Share Posted June 29, 2023 What is a gun looking to pay roughly for a days grouse shooting? Let's say walked up as this will be cheaper than driven grouse so should hopefully lower the cost slightly No hospitality or fancy afters? A small bag sub 20 birds perhaps North west area This isnt a add wanting grouse shooting just to get a general idea if it's obtainable to the working man.

London Best Posted June 29, 2023 Report Share Posted June 29, 2023 The last time I bought a similar day, actually, 2 guns shooting over pointers, was about nine years ago and I paid £200. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers I paid £1,600 in 2018 for a 75 brace October driven day in the Yorkshire Dales. Bucket list 50th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jealous! For my 70th. I bought 7 friends a 140 driven pheasant day. Some of them were kind enough to reciprocate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of them were kind enough to reciprocate! It was a good day; a smidgen under the bag, but (and not that it should matter) 5 1/2 brace and 3 snipe to my gun and a R&L on the last of 5 drives. In a season when lots of moors cancelled due to the lack of Grouse. Initially cancelled, but re-appraised as they found they had more that expected.

I love driven grouse (who wouldn’t?) but I bet it’s nearly 30 years since I did any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
