Fieldsports Britain - Digweed Shoots Grouse

[@regsparkes6507]

My oh my, what a good and enjoyable film by David. He's an accomplished cinematographer ! Some, in your country could call this a 'crackin' good show.

[@fieldsportstv]

+Reg Sparkes Thank you Reg. / David

[@tobyjenny7622]

Fieldsports Channel wish they will be more control burns in the States, now... here in Arkansas, the grass and brush is tall enough to cause a problem when they dry out.

[@tonyashton453]

Superb deserves mainstream tv so much anti disinformation out there congrats on 7 years.

[@guuslucassen2007]

That year was most definitely worth it, beautiful film my friends of Britain

[@965Baron]

I've been priviledge to shoot grouse. This is a beautiful account of a year in the life. Stunning. Move over BBC. Thanks Charlie and David.

[@jamespegler9184]

Great watching, that Scottish voice over was so chilling gave the whole peice a brilliant feel

[@kellyoakley7215]

A lovely film that explains all the thought and hard work that goes into protecting the Moors and managing the Wildlife so well.!!!!

[@fieldsportstv]

+Nate Koh Cheers!

[@JackRoadkill]

A fantastic film; I'm not a grouse shooter myself, but really enjoyed being shown what has to happen to manage a moor, as well as the benefits to conservation and the environment that such management brings.

[@1hornetmaster]

Bloody brilliant!! Best field sports Britain to date. Massive thumbs up!!!

[@kat834]

Great show. The grouse film was fantastic..... should be on national television to educate the antis. Happy Birthday Guys!!!

Great show guys, the film of the moor was brilliant,,, In Yer Face Packham ,, The truth is out there,,, Happy 7th Birthday Fieldsports Britain ,,, and long may you continue,,

[@64dexta]

Excellent film presented in a well balanced and informative manner. This class of work should be part of the schools curriculum to help open children's eyes to the truth before the lies that abound become indoctrinated. Thank you for the huge effort you all put in to bringing us this quality viewing. Good luck for the future from damp-ish Ireland!

[@Ldotvidz]

I love George Digweed ,absolute hero,and a true Englishman ... Not a lot of them around nowadays,an amazing ambassador/character and general representation of shooting,of course there are other areas of shooting with plenty of other respectable faces but George will always hold the top spot for me

[@damienclaeys770]

Bloody excellent effort lads. Really enjoyed that, all aspects of it. Just a shame we are lacking the Grouse down here in Northern Victoria Oz, still good to see Blighty doing well. ATB Moose Down Under.

[@gatorp4794]

Superb film

[@topgrafter2007]

Superb!!

[@andrewhollidge4522]

As a falconer and x game keeper I'm fortunate to see and understand the massive importance of managing a moor for the Raptors and game in a symbiotic relationship and moor importance to every red listed bird that would not be there if thay didn't have a safe haven to bring there brood up this is a national treasure don't lison to the rspb thay can only dream to to have 0.5 % of the same results thay are a business I've rehabilitated more Raptors as as many British falconers club members have !!!! If you phone them thay will pass it on !! Just do it and see how true this is there not interested its left to kind hearted falconers to step up unpaid

[@georgemorley1029]

Let people that live in the countryside and make their livelihoods from the countryside live in it and get on with their lives. Let the people who don't, who live in the city and don't have anything better to do than mess up other people's lives shut up and leave these people alone.

[@chantellerosebud1780]

I live in the countryside and always have done. I would like future generations to enjoy the countryside as much as I do. I support conservation and apprise grouse shooting as it is unsustainable. This video is NOT a balanced picture. But of course it wouldn't be from the field sports crew.

[@georgemorley1029]

Chantelle Rosebud I don't know what you mean by apprise in this context.

[@chantellerosebud1780]

+George Morley That was a typo whitch auto corrected. I meant oppose.

[@georgemorley1029]

+Chantelle Rosebud Oh, I see. Now I understand. But you'll have to help me out now with why you think it's "unsustainable". It's been going on for hundreds of years. I don't see how that's an unsustainable practice? What is it you mean by "unsustainable"?

[@chantellerosebud1780]

Fossil fuel use has also been going on for hundreds of years, and is acknowledged to be unsustainable. Grouse shooting uses increasingly intensive land management practices, damaging gases released into the air when burning heather, use of lead shots, raptor persecution, including highly endangered hen harriers... I could go on... Or shall I move on to the 'unethical' factors?

[@oliverpepper5112]

Great film!!! 👌🏻

[@kingofdeath5600]

finally Fieldsports Britain covers British field sports

[@m0jon]

Great Video

Bravo

[@jackcomber8685]

Can't wait to get my licenses! And shoot some game with a shotgun keep up the informative videos .👍🏻

[@jackgreenmtb2648]

You do know the cost of grouse shooting surely

[@padraicclarke3063]

Well done lads shooter from irl.

[@caveymoley]

"124 and 1/2 you say?" "yes, that one managed to get a bit close before I pulled the trigger..."

[@ErieRadio]

124 1/2 "brace"... 2 birds in a brace... So that's 249 birds. (124x2=248 birds+1 bird=249 birds total).

[@iliasz987]

that was wonderful

[@edwardneale8775]

2 for ! Shot there

[@jeffmate1610]

Is it true that using 21grms 6s for crows, pigeons, pheasants, partridge is the best for 28 bore because it apparently shoots faster with a lighter and smaller gram cartridge?

[@huntershunters7185]

GOOD

[@lindawhinnen5734]

Bonza!

[@jaisonapolinario5399]

Q lugares incríveis

[@rufcdunnyrufc]

Top quality stuff, put that in your pipe and smoke it Packham!

[@ianrobertsonRR1]

" grouse one to grouse two, who is the big geezeer on peg three ? grouse two to grouse one....hang on ......think its Digwe..... ARGHHHHHH..... "

[@anthonydod2302]

Bob shaw

[@charleskittler4330]

👍👍

[@thomasvalentin9936]

Sorry but why are they burning fields at the beggining of the video ?

[@fieldsportstv]

+Thomas VALENTIN Promotes regrowth of heather which the grouse eat

[@thomasvalentin9936]

Fieldsports Channel oooh alright !! Thanks for answering

[@gatorp4794]

Ogil at its best

[@AmericanHero911]

A well managed grouse moor does increase bird numbers considerably...but then you turn it all into a blood sport? lol Great points to paint the picture when you forget to add the blood red paint

[@eagleowlfeathers4156]

Wow what a great sport. Great for the economy,great for the environment. Great for Hen harriers, NOT!!! Sign the petition to ban this load of cobblers. Ban driven grouse shooting and all that goes with it.

[@pluffer96]

How can the Snowflakes possibly ever understand, it frightens me that there is no representation of countryside pursuits.

[@AmericanHero911]

7:55 Alternatives raised. 8:10 Commercial forestry - would see a massive increase of animal population of all types. The scenery would be incredibly beautiful and so much more than a barren scorched land without a single tree, deer or fox in sight. 8:21 Sheep farming - agreed 8:30 Do no nothing - at least more natural predators would be around and they'd always be balance, there always was before man came along.

[@pigswhist]

Why are you allowed to burn heather,when there is a ban on burning straw for the sound reason of air Quality.Why are you allowed to shoot thousands of Mountain hares,and throw them in stink pits.

[@tugrul7996]

13 30 min lol

[@AmericanHero911]

3:51 the heather grows to a length and "breaks over" and gets to the stage where there's no nutritional value? Can anyone give any evidence for this?

[@AmericanHero911]

Why not deploy wild deer to eat the heather instead of burning the land like that?

[@shawndarling5855]

Bruce Hood The ashes from the fields is good for the soil. Plus it helps with weeds and brush. every spring I have to help my dad burn his hillsides. It's called a controlled burn.

[@AmericanHero911]

Shawn Darling No it really isn't good for the soil if it's burned away time after time. It leads to over acidification of the soil and dries it out way too much. Weeds and brush can be controlled by introducing a healthy amount of deer, goat and sheep into the area.

[@shawndarling5855]

Bruce Hood You ever see after a wild fire? after a while trees and plants grow right back. And they are healthy too

[@AmericanHero911]

Shawn Darling That is true but not if it's done over and over like this.

[@billiebleach7889]

Bruce Hood it worked for centuries....enough said, no?

[@allbushnocraft3031]

i shoot so this is not from an anti but the moors themselves are an unnatural environment caused by farming sheep for example so if you are talking about conservation then at least be honest and say we are conserving the moors to preserve shooting if left to rewild it would look very different and would contain far more wildlife than it does as a managed moor.. Im not sure if most people know what they are talking about when you throw the word conservation about all you are conserving is the damage that has been caused to land in the first place. I shoot btw i just don't kid myself about the conservation benefits to the land as there are none other that the economy of shooting.sorry its the truth. conservation is a red herring if you are concerned about the land then rewinding is the only option

[@tombellphotography8273]

Just why would you kill Grouse Like Chris Packham said "the nasty Brigade" It's like Pheasant They are harmless birds What have they done to you well the answer is nothing. It's not fun at all Nature is a wonderful thing everyone should enjoy it not kill it. They just stroll on the farm or in gardens don't they??? :-(

[@shawndarling5855]

Tom Bell Hunting is used for population control. See where I live we have a lot of deer, but there has not been too many successful harvests of now the deer have chronic wasting disease. Humans can still eat a deer if it tests positive. I hunt and fish and trap with me and most people that enjoy those same activities I do it's not all about the kill or catch, it's about being together and having a great time. Money raised from hunting and fishing licenses and taxes on ammo go to land management and getting more land for public use.

[@shootit6144]

Let nature do it’s own thing #co2

[@wala3o]

How many kidneys do I have to sell to afford this hunt?

[@SoloBench]

gayest narration ever

[@samsawyer2145]

This needs to be shown to mainstream media,not enough people see the truth!!! Good work!

[@shawndarling5855]

Sam Sawyer They would be called butchers and thrill killers

[@williecosgrove]

Who are the 6 muppets who the thumbs down.

[@Kjell_H]

Same...happy birthday Nicely done boys. Greets from a subscriber in Norway.

[@aleccrombie7923]

Great video. Educational, I hadn't realised just how many people were required to run the moor. Thanks for that. Please please stop that dramatic 90 degree when doing the otherwise excellent news, it's absurd. Otherwise keep up the good work. Thank you.

[@starcrafttom]

Great video and looks like a great day. As an American when I pheasant shoot its more of a personal event or maybe up to 4 people with dogs . No driver. we have limits, depending on state, of 2 to 5 birds. Looks like a lot of birds are shoot on these hunts. what happneds to them. Are they cleaned and given to the shoots? The driver? sold by the estate? what is the common practice.

[@Patrick_B687-3]

Utterly fantastic video in every regard. Top quality here and no wonder it took a year ro make. Really brilliant stuff here Fieldsport, thank you.

[@1LRLRG]

Well Done to David on the Grouse clip, Keep it up

[@FYMM69]

Hunts for ultra rich only. What would a shoot like that cost ??

[@tempestmkiv]

Stalking stories and fishing for facts.... love it!

[@bigdghost3319]

I would love to see my dogs work those birds......

[@simonharrison2207]

Awesome video never see it before

[@erichaun4529]

Top notch in every way. I live in Virginia but have always dreamed of shooting there. Maybe one day, but until then I'll continue to enjoy your show and wish. I also enjoyed the management insight. I keep pheasant for family and friends and the difference in the amount of various wildlife that also benefits and is present in much larger numbers is amazing as compared to when I did not do it. Love you guys!

[@MrFcaruana]

Liked the piece about Scotland, the Moors and especially about the Grouse although my heart ached while doing so as our shoot was cancelled due to low numbers of grouse because of bad weather during their breeding season. But as they say there is always hope for a better situation next year. Well Done David and the rest

[@geraldswain3259]

Joe public need to see this .Beautifully presented David and I would think a lot of hard work and time went into making this film .quality!.
