Golf? Go to Great Britain for golf? Who would do that. I shoot rifles.  Whiskey is fine I suppose, but Scotch Ales rule. I'll be checking that out. Maybe try to catch a fish or two, but I suspect that will be out of my price range.

Grouse shooting starts on August 12th. so your visit is o.k. for that. Bisley is down in Surrey and a long way from grouse moors which are in the North of England and Scotland. Walked up grouse shooting is affordable. If going to Scotland check out the link I posted earlier in this thread. Trout fishing with the fly is quite inexpensive on both rivers and stillwaters. Some rivers don't have day tickets. Fishing in England requires a license obtainable via any Post Office and they can issue one day licenses at little cost. Annual license is only about 25. In Scotland you don't need a license as we English subsidise it for them. License fees go towards conservation via the Environment Agency. Check out wood pigeon shooting which has a 365 day a year season as does the season for shooting muntjac deer (no bag limit and quite inexpensive); plenty of those around Surrey area. Have a look at the web site for BASC https://basc.org.uk/ they may be able to assist. Lagopus.....

From this distance in Nova Scotia (New Scotland), England subsidizing Scotland for licenses seems a good deal to me. Where would England be if the Scots weren't invited down to make educational institutions with few peers in the world? Same happened in Nova Scotia. The Scots in northern part of province were asked to make an Athens of the dirty military garrison of Halifax. Halifax isn't Athens although the educational centre of Atlantic Canada today.

Young grouse are great to eat roast. Old grouse may need longer cooking to avoid toughness.

From this distance in Nova Scotia (New Scotland), England subsidizing Scotland for licenses seems a good deal to me. Once a Socialist, always a Socialist, eh King?  I am shocked to see our "Grey Man" CZ making such ostentatious posts. Perhaps Trump's tax cuts made the trip to Scotland possible??? I actually expected Grouse Ortolan photos!

Looks like a wonderful time in spite of the low bird numbers. Glad to see you had a good trip. Thinking about something similar in the next year or so myself.
