I have enjoyed hunting in England and Scotland. I love the tradition - have done birds, stag and muntjac…lots of fun.Uk is a little different - I do some driven game on Exmoor , up in N Wales (partridge and pheasant - used to do grouse) and some out of season clays
Have a matched pair of Perazzi 12 bore shotguns MX12 SC3 spec - went out to the factory to select the wood and be fitted - nice experience
The costs have continued to increase over here and it’s now a very expensive hobby especially at the high bird end of the market and hard to see it being sustainable long term - lot of regulatory encroachment but not to the degree they have in parts of the EU
