"Riddle me this. Then they've got from mid July to September 1st to strut their stuff , because the grouse hunting season starts. Oh yes, the very same birds that have a protected breeding season."
It's all to do with control of numbers. If you had too many grouse they would then eat away at the available food meaning weaker/dying animals. I have been to the US many times, especially visiting the rockies, and I feel this is one of the things they have got right.
