That's 100% not true Grouse in the UK are most certainly not reared in game farms nor bred in captivity for driven shoots. Do a bit of research on the subject and you will find they are all totally wild birds. That's why grouse shooting costs so much. I have shot a few grouse when I was a kid, not the posh way as in driven over the butts by a line of beaters, but with a single barrel shotgun when I used to crawl up to them in the heather. We ate them. I was at the CLA Game Fair last week in Hertfordshire. I saw a weekend of grouse shooting advertised at £12000.
Pheasant season starts October 1. Pheasants are reared on game farms. They originated in China. If anyone thinks pheasant shooting is objectionable because they look nice, they should see the driven shoots they do in new Zealand where they pop off peacocks.
Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.
