Closer to home, Philip regularly hunted Sandringham House, one of his residences and located in the parish of Sandringham, Norfolk, England. The 20,000-acre estate became one of the premier birds shoots in the country under Philip’s guidance and he even designed a special “gun bus” for use on the property that contained special compartments for guests’ guns built into the coachwork. The bus was especially useful during the Boxing Day shoot, when members of the royal family who spent the Christmas holidays at Sandringham House went out for driven pheasant.
Queen Elizabeth didn't hunt but she did train and work Labrador retrievers. She regularly went out with Philip. He'd do the shooting while she worked the dogs. When a dog retrieved a live bird, she would personally wring it's neck.
