Britain's grouse-hunting season may kick off on the "Glorious Twelfth" of August, but the best time to traipse the moors and Highlands in pursuit of the wild birds is from mid-September to mid-October. The British sporting company Roxtons offers bespoke driving and walking shoots in Scotland and northern England, charging [pounds sterling]120 per brace of two birds (roxtons .com). In Yorkshire, the Black Swan Hotel, inside North York Moors National Park, is an ideal base for a shooting weekend. With divine rooms, a gourmet restaurant and an Elemis spa, it's a blissful place to relax after a day spent tracking red grouse or the lesser-known ptarmigan (blackswan-helmsley.co.uk; rooms start at [pounds sterling]100).
