Grouse shooting in the British Isles normally opens on the 12 of August,this year it will likely be delayed until the 13th because as I recall game shooting is not allowed on Sundays in most parts of the British Isles!
As a boy I vividly remember being on Euston Station on or about this date,in the late 1940,s and seeing trolley loads of cased guns being loaded onto overnight L.M.S. trains destined for Scotland.
In those days by some miracle,Grouse was being served for lunch in London restaurants by mid day on the 12th!
So bearing in mind the wet spring and summer during 2012. What is the current outlook for Grouse shooting in 2012 and what are the prospects for finding grouse on London lunch menues on the 13th?
