Question

Which Shooting Season Begins On The Glorious Twelfth?

Answer 1

The shooting season for game birds in the United Kingdom begins on the 12th of August, which is known as the "Glorious Twelfth". This marks the start of the grouse shooting season and is traditionally celebrated with shooting parties and feasts.

Answer 2

It's almost 12 August: a nondescript midsummer day for some, but for others a crucial day on the calendar. Also known as the Glorious Twelfth, it marks the opening of the shooting season for red grouse, a large, wild bird which is found in the heather moorlands of the UK, often regarded as the king of game.
