REPORT (2007)
The earlier part of the season looked disappointing but as the weather cooled off many more birds were seen. Three days were cancelled but the remaining twelve let days averaged 80 brace per day.
 

Shooting – Grouse Shooting at Danby Moors, near Whitby

The 11,000 acre moors at Danby in the north York Moors represent some of the finest driven grouse shooting in the UK. The moors can be shot over three days, but no more than two consecutive days are let at any time. The bag estimate for the day varies from 100 brace early in the season to 60 brace later in October/November.

The Danby Moors are situated on the northern boundaries of the North York Moors with the Esk Valley lying east / west through the middle of the moors. The North York Moors is one of the largest areas of uninterrupted heather moorland in Europe and the landscapes are stunning and provide an impressive backdrop to a day’s shooting.

The moors are managed by three keepers, with a head-keeper, Peter Snaith, responsible for the well being of the guns (up to 8) on the day.

Lunch and accommodation can be arranged if required.
