On a block of forestry in the eastern Highlands, Niall Rowantree explains the changes that are underway for deer across Scotland. He shows deer damage and says how he plans to adopt the new rules on deer management and stalking. It’s a grim time for deer and other animals in Scotland. In its zeal to do the bidding of the conservation industry, the Scottish government is on its way to ordering a New-Zealand-style mass poisoning of the country’s wildlife, warns Niall.
In a happier place, two gamekeepers - Geoff Garrod and Paul Childerley - battle it out for top shot in their squad at the British Open .410 Championship 2023. Our news feature looks at the DEFRA disaster that is the Sunak government’s handling of gamebird release and the GL43 general licence. We are giving away a pair of Muck Boots Calder boots priced at £135, David brings you the news on the news stump, and James Marchington offers his selection of the best hunting videos on KZhead in Hunting KZhead. Keep it #fieldsportsbritain

All the stalkers don’t want to shoot deer at night because they don’t want their sport to decline! But they’re the same people out with the thermal shooting every fox they see 24/7 🤦♂️I mean where is the ecologist in you nial when you were out shooting cubs last week ? It really does make me laugh 😂 if the foxes were worth money to you in the winter months you wouldn’t persecute them like you all do in the summer months.
I hate to be "That guy." But, I'm going to. It's crazy to me how guys that use the same gear, year in and year out, all of the sudden see the danger in it's use. They want to preach how it doesn't make you better, ONLY, once that gear becomes available to the general public. Sorry, buddy. Shooting deer at night ain't dangerous. It ain't complicated. It's too effing easy, and that's why it's still not common outside of government controlled lands.
Only here for the lack of pronunciation
