The Grouse shooting season runs from August 12th to December 10th on mainland Great Britain.
The Glorious Twelfth marks the beginning of the grouse season and one of the most eagerly anticipated dates in the sporting calendar. From August onwards, shooters from across the UK and around the world are drawn to the renowned moors of Scotland and Northern England in pursuit of one of the finest challenges in fieldsports.
Grouse are entirely wild birds, thriving within carefully managed moorland landscapes that represent some of Britain's most important upland habitats. Driven grouse shooting plays a vital role in supporting the conservation and stewardship of these unique environments, ensuring they are maintained for future generations.
Traditionally, grouse shooting takes place in a formal driven setting, with guns positioned in butts while experienced teams of beaters guide birds towards the line. The sport is governed by a well-established code of conduct and etiquette, reflecting the heritage, skill and respect associated with the grouse moor. Alternative methods, including walked-up grouse shooting over pointers and flushing birds with trained dogs, also provide memorable sporting opportunities.
Ian Coley Sporting Agency is delighted to offer access to exceptional driven grouse days throughout the season on a carefully selected collection of some of the finest moors in England and Scotland, delivering outstanding sport, breathtaking scenery and a truly memorable experience.
