Grouse Hunting Advice

[TimC]

Thanks TimC ... fascinating procedure! Is there a favoured drink of choice after the hunting party has finished for the day's shoot?

Normally a tipple before you start, in between drives and after is the norm but not mandatory. We make sloe gin and have some local brews for cold weather such as bullshot! Thers a whole world of traditions that differ from county to county, shot to shoot etc. The probllem I have is driving and saving enough sloe gin/vodka from this season for next when it has really matured!

Just didn't know if Grouse Man appreciated me dragging his old post out of the archives and tossing it into the fray.

No I don't mind at all. It's there for people to read.

However i'd propose to you that by differentiating between 'hunting' and 'shooting', you present the idea that folks who shoot them with a .22 aren't actually hunting grouse. And that's not in keeping with simply differentiating between methods, as it suggests those who use one tool are hunters while the others are not.

I did recognize that connotation from the words; I'll refer to them as wingshooting and groundshooting, much more descriptive without the baggage.
