Yes, Kathy, organised "shoots" are still a pastime of the UK rich (not
unusual to pay up to £1000 a head for this "sport"). They're held
exclusively on private estates, and the "stands" (shooter's positions)
located away (and pointing away) from public roads and paths. They are not
on moors or similar tracts of public land.

Oh yes, rather! Quite a few 'What Ho?'s too, don't you know.
I've alway found thin wires jolly good at deterring those pesky Herons,
what, if you put them around, dash it, the whole pond area, they don't
get in the bally way of the pond what! Jolly good show too.

Tally Ho!
