Malin Hewins has brought together members of the German Wirehaired Pointer Club, plus friends (including a bracco Italiano), to pick up on a walkedup grouse day designed specifically for them. It’s on moorland above Edale in Derbyshire, beautifully organised by the Edale Estate. We see hundreds of grouse, shoot a few and all the dogs, which range from field triallers almost to puppies, show off what they are bred for and improve their skills

Why shoot game birds?
Game is wild, natural and free range, and it is one of the healthiest meats available today. It is low in cholesterol and high in protein. Results from research commissioned by the GametoEat campaign (Leatherhead Food International Research 2006) suggest that there are real health benefits to eating game. Both pheasant and partridge contain high levels of iron, protein, vitamin B(6) and selenium, which helps to protect cells from damage caused by free radicals.
In addition to the nutritional benefits of game, game shooting is worth £2 billion annually to the UK rural economy and supports 74,000 jobs. There are 480,000 (UK government figures) active game shooters in the UK who enjoy bird shooting under the principles of the Code of Good Shooting Practice.
More than 2 million hectares are actively managed for shooting in the UK creating proven (PACEC, 2014) conservation benefits and preserving important habitats for a diverse range of flora and fauna, in particular farmland birds. UK shooting providers spend £5.4 million on cover crop seeds every year and maintain over 25,000ha of wildbird cover.
