Grouse shooting in North Yorkshire

North Yorkshire, United Kingdom

A wonderful family owned grouse moor with availability for walked-up shooting this season. Whilst also running a lowground shoot in Richmond, North Yorkshire, we have taken on the shooting on a fantastic piece of ground that offers teams of guns an opportunity to shoot walked-up grouse this coming season.

North Yorkshire, United Kingdom

We are on top of a hill outside Skipton with wonderful views. Steep rolling country with most drives in the open on the edge of moorland. Guns come into the house for an excellent lunch and good wines. This is a very relaxed, friendly shoot with no overage. Guns are encouraged to bring dogs and the pickers up are well trained to keep well away from those wishing to work their dogs!! Pheasant, partridge and grouse. Most drives are off hill and moor edges providing very high testing birds . We have a couple of  drives where it is normal to be up to 8 to 1 cartridge to kill.....but don't worry as they are not all like that!!  We can do days of 2 pheasant drives, 2 partridge and 2 grouse or pure grouse days. Also Duck flighting on the moor. Family shoot with only a few days to let. 150 - 400 birds @ £44 all incl. No off road vehicles needed. Loaders can be provided if wanted. We can also do small semi driven / walked days of around 60 head for £1500. September Partridge 150 - 200 birds @ £39 all inc. Late 40 - 50 brace grouse days also for  £6,000 all in for 8 guns. Very good pub very close by.  You are welcome to pop in anytime to have a look around .

**Back Ground** Within the same family ownership since 1983 the current management focus is to continue to develop a first class sporting estate and mutually supportive agricultural enterprise which together deliver a major environmental benefit. All rights are held in hand including grazing, freehold and sporting rights which gives the owners freedom to operate and achieve results.  **Quarry Species** The owners are passionate about their shooting and have a strong interest in wild game. Grouse are the main sporting output but there is also a good stock in the ‘inby’ ground of wild pheasant, duck, snipe and woodcock.  Two full time keepers are employed and are tasked with looking after the grouse and’ lowland’ wild quarry in equal measure.   The Estate offers let days on the main moor for Driven Grouse as well as some less formal days for Grouse on our 'edge' ground. **Simulated Grouse and Introduction to Grouse Shooting Courses** We pride ourselves on introducing many new guns to the love of Grouse Shooting.  A popular choice is to enjoy an afternoon of extremely realistic Simulated Grouse (three butts in a line) in our purpose built Grouse practice range, followed by the real thing the next day. We use multiple state of the art ProMatic Remote Clay Traps and short horizons  to really get the blood flowing! In and out of season we offer an Introduction to Grouse Shooting Course which includes expert tuition on the grouse practice range and a lecture on the Red Grouse. This course is designed to get you on target, instill an appreciation for the quarry,  and provide a thorough understanding of the inherent safety aspects of Grouse shooting. Finally we cover off the accepted do's and don’ts on the day itself to give you a sound footing to enjoy your first day of Driven Grouse safe in the knowledge that you are prepared as you can be! Our Grouse range is open to experienced and novice shots alike with or without instruction. *Our Philosophy** We strive to make your day as enjoyable as possible. A common comment from our guests is that they feel their experience has been like a family shoot day and this is what we aim to achieve. When you shoot at Coverhead your day will usually be hosted by one of the owning family. Dogs are welcome as we encourage a ‘muck in’ can do attitude from all involved.

**Danby Moors, Esk Valley, Nr Whitby (North York Moors) - 2014 season** The Danby Moors extend over 11,000 acres of beautiful heather moorland. The scenery is quite breathtaking and the attractive fishing port of Whitby lies approximately 10 miles to the east. The moor is divided in to two, north (Danby Low Moor) and south (Danby High Moor) of the upper Esk valley and the driven grouse shooting is let by the day. The moor is butted so that two or three days can be let consecutively. The Danby Moors are enjoying a real renaissance, following a record year in 2012, and there is a good population of healthy birds across all the moorland The bag for the day is between 80 and 150 brace dependant on the time of the season, the shooting commencing in late August and running through to the end of October. (100/150 brace days in August/September and 80 to 100 brace days in later September/October) The price is £180 per brace (inclusive of VAT, and all hospitality) with 10% allowable before overages, which will always be discussed prior to the event. There are several lunch huts on the moor and catering is provided for locally, using local produce. The day is hosted by the resident agent (Robert Sword) or the head Keeper (Peter Snaith) and the day is managed in as relaxed a fashion as is possible.
