Reports from Scotland say that some estates will not be shooting this year due to low grouse numbers.
This year's weather has not been good and grouse numbers are way down in some areas
may not be our style - but its a tradition in trouble from bird populations and politicians and i wish them well - its a great country with wonderful people in the countryside
my preference will always be a finger lakes/ southern tier ruffed grouse over a setter
but that is more endangered than the red grouse on the 12th
