It's a pheasant and grouse hunt.

Nothing to do with a fox.

You're correct...the Boxing Day event is for shooting grouse/pheasant....the article did not mention this.

These birds are not small....grouses weigh up to 15 lbs....pheasants up to 6 lbs or so. Fox hunting was banned in England some years ago.

Shooting large avians, deer, whatever, by the royals in ostentatious social hunts and sorties-with-beaters is still for the birds.

Try skeet, Prince Harry !
