August the 12th is the start of the red grouse season ,the red grouse is a true wild bird with no rearing. Some moors will do good and some will be bad this is common for grouse shooting most of the shooting guns are foreign people from different country's for which a days grouse shooting is very expensive .
Most of the pheasant pullets will now have gone to covert also the partridges this is a busy time for the keepers mostly keeping the vermin such has foxes , crows and grey squirrels to a low level Has partridge shooting starts in September and pheasant in October although most estates do not really start till November . Birds are now 4 months old and are strong on the wing ,this is time when keepers are dogging from the shoot boundary ,there is a certain amount that go over the boundary mostly on shoots that do no rearing .There are other small shoots that shoot every game bird but put nothing back and they call themselves sportsman gone are the days when the poacher shot a brace of pheasants to feed his family today it is for beer money
Without the big estates and game shooting in the UK the sport and countryside would be in a sorry state the spinneys, woods disappear also the hedgerows and we will end with prairie type of landscape.
