I've heard that it is very expensive to go hunting in the UK so much so that it's basically a rich man's sport. Any truth to that?
Yes this is very true. Field sports such as hunting are basically a rich man's sport. The main reason for this is historical. In the UK, large areas of land were purchased by very wealthy 18th and 19th century industrialists who turned them into what are called sporting estates. These estates were then used as exclusive playgrounds for the very wealthy up until the middle of the 20th century when they then began to become economically unworkable. The estates since have had to diversify into tourism but there are still a small number of estates which provide hunting for game.
