Driven grouse in Scotland

It is driven grouse at its finest. Shooter Ross Neville is on a tour of British grousemoors. We spend a day with him at lochan in the Angus Glens, where the birds are in numbers never before seen on this moore. He tries out one of the guns from the John M Browning Collection.

Why shoot game birds?
Game is wild, natural and free range, and it is one of the healthiest meats available today. It is low in cholesterol and high in protein. Results from research commissioned by the Game-to-Eat campaign (Leatherhead Food International Research 2006) suggest that there are real health benefits to eating game. Both pheasant and partridge contain high levels of iron, protein, vitamin B(6) and selenium, which helps to protect cells from damage caused by free radicals.
In addition to the nutritional benefits of game, game shooting is worth £2 billion annually to the rural economy and supports 74,000 jobs. There are 480,000 (UK government figures) active game shooters in the UK who enjoy bird shooting under the principles of the Code of Good Shooting Practice.
More than 2 million hectares are actively managed for shooting in the UK creating proven (PACEC, 2014) conservation benefits and preserving important habitats for a diverse range of flora and fauna, in particular farmland birds. UK shooting providers spend £5.4 million on cover crop seeds every year and maintain over 25,000ha of wild-bird cover.

Great day out and good shooting, thumbs up and regards from New Zealand hunters.

Looks a bit dangerous at 1.04 for the flanker on the hill. At 8.15 the gun appears to swing through the line of the adjacent butt.

Absolutely fantastic! Really enjoy watching Ross shoot, he's got some class

[@shakeybeatz]

No he fucking hasn't. Absolutely no class whatsoever. Coward yes.

I wish grouse were armoured and had weapons. That would make it more fun. It’s all a bit cowardly if you ask me?

The fact that you don't think killing for fun is problematic should shuffle you all off for some serious counselling ..... whatever void killing fills is a very deep dark abyss

[@finlaymacdonald101]

Its sport but it's also very ethical as no birds or hares go to waste and are all eaten

[@donala4628]

@@finlaymacdonald101 they're wild animals that you're killing for no real reason other than for the fun of killing them. I don't personally care if they're eaten or go to "waste", they didn't need to be killed.

[@finlaymacdonald101]

@@donala4628 sorry but that's the most bs answer I've ever heard, every piece of meat is from an animal that was killed. You could compare hunting to gardening, it's a hobby but it puts clean and ethical food on the table.

[@donala4628]

@@finlaymacdonald101 Hence why I disagree with farming animals for meat in general. It's inefficient and in my eyes; cruel. We don't need to do it as their are many other readily available sources of protein that take up less energy to produce. I have a special problem with wild animal hunting though, these animals are a part of their natural ecosystem and hunting them is completely unnecessary damage of it. At least farms are managed in a way that the animals won't go extinct. Raptor persecution is also a huge problem because of this sport as these people who partake in it will straight up shoot down birds of prey, just because they're fucking with the gorse population. Not to mention their mustevid persecution. This is a bad and unnecesary sport that damages the UK ecosystem; and for what? sport? I'm not sorry to say thay your response is actually one of the bullshit I've ever heard and it is in no way similar to gardening. I also have an issue with hunting for the same reason, it's unnecessary. We have evolved past the point of needing to hunt these animals and as a moral society, it should be banned outright. Why do you support the killing of animals for fun, may I ask? And for previously stated reasons, I won't accept "clean, ethical food on the table" as an answer.

[@donala4628]

@@finlaymacdonald101 Also maybe read my whole comment before replying, I already addressed that their meat is eaten. It makes no difference to me, as previously stated.

[@freshnorthwest6756]

ahhh yes the rich lazy hunters, we see them in Alaska too. They get flown in by a helicopter to a plush area where they barely have to move an inch while they shoot at living creatures that are just yards away. Excuse after excuse as to why they feel this is OK to do crap like this.
