Grouse Shooting

Grouse Shooting is both a practical guide to taking in the pursuit of the red grouse and a celebration of the finest shooting to be found in the British Isles. The book looks at the development of grouse shooting and the natural history of the grouse, moorland management and the work of the grouse keeper as well as looking in depth at the three methods of grouse shooting - walked up, driven and shooting over dogs. There is guidance on the choice of guns, ammunition, clothing and equipment. Fully illustrated with the author's photographs, this book will appeal not only to those fortunate enough to shoot grouse but also to moorland keepers, beaters and pickers-up and to anyone who loves those wide open hills and moors where the wild red grouse may still be found.
