Show Notes

New legislation in Scotland (The Wildlife Management and Muirburn (Scotland) Act means that Estates that wish to shoot grouse will require a license. Ross Ewing, Director of Mooland at Scottish Land and Estates joins Chris and George to explain what this all means for grouse shooting in Scotland. Seen by many as a catastrophe, is the new legislation as bad as all that, and are there any positives to be taken from the process, which saw pro-grouse shooting bodies secure several important amendments to the proposals. What can the shooting community in other parts of the UK learn from the Scottish experience?

Also in this episode: George shares his own Unpopular Opinion and gets stitched up by Chris, we resolve a challenging shooting/marital quandry, hear about a Forgotten Drive from the USA and discuss the logistics of shooting clays on an aircraft carrier's flight deck.
