Anyone lucky enough to be up the hills today with a dog or gun? How were numbers?

Allenheads got about 620 brace , muggelswick are going for 1000 brace tomorrow
if they have grouse shoot them while you have them. if they leave to many they crash in numbers .nice to hear the grouse doing well ,but 1000 brace!

Aye, but on the second day of the season ! Got another 3 months to kill their numbers, why not have 10 x 100 brace days, or even 5 x 200 brace days? Surely those birds shot in September will be far stronger birds than those hitting teh heather today ?Sounds like they are just chasing records and I thought that died out with the Edwardians.
just imagine if that was phezsnice to hear the grouse doing well ,but 1000 brace!

Andy Dent is like a walking history book isnt he and John Pink has a good team around him dont heDoesn't work that way. As the others say shoot them while you can if you've got the numbers. Grouse are very quick to learn and pack up very quickly if they are driven regularly.
I've been out on Holwick, nexdoor with Wemmergill, and yesterday was the classic "Hurry up and wait". After waiting till 14:30 it finally cleared enough to get two drives in and managed about 170ish brace. Much better day today with 263 brace of the first 2 drives, another drive before lunch, then 245 brace of the next 2 followed by another good drive. I'd say they'll be heading up towards 700 brace for today! Mind you there was a good show of grouse and the team of guns was Goerge Digweed and co. Nuff said!!
