Wildfowling with the ethical carnivore, Louise Gray

Louise Gray, author of 'The Ethical Carnivore' gets her first taste of wildfowling with the help of BASC and the Fenland Wildfowlers Association.
Inspired by the likes of wildfowler and conservationist Sir Peter Scott Louise considers wildfowling to be a 'noble pursuit'. She records her trip with a diary camera and talks about how she feels about her experience on the marsh.
Louise is passionate about the connection between food and the environment. Before writing her book, Louise was environmental correspondent for The Daily Telegraph.
Louise Gray wrote her story for The Telegraph:

What a fantastic video, The look on Louise's face when it sunk in that she had bagged her first Wigeon was very true. a great shot and very good gun etiquette. Well done!

I am jealous....what a beautiful place to be in the wild.

Lovely video. I'm in Australia and when i go duck shooting and goose hunting. I'm in big trouble with the missus if i come home empty handed. Wild fowl is a big part of our diet when it's hunting season...

[@browningmaxus5360]

Can't picture duck shooting in Australia just don't seem natural...

[@serverlan763]

@@browningmaxus5360 In Darwin where I live we have some of the best shooting in the world. 7 species of ducks and Magpie Geese with generous bag limits. Shooting a bag limit is the norm not an exception. The Monsoon Wet Season creates perfect wet land habitat for waterfowl...
