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.
