Grouse Shooting on the 12th August, aka the "Glorious Twelfth" by the British artist, Harrison Weir (1824-1906) in 1860. The grouse-shooting season extends from 12 August to 10 December each year. Large numbers of red grouse are driven to fly over people with shotguns. Driven grouse shooting first appeared around 1850 and became popular in the later Victorian era as a fashionable sport for the wealthy.
