Fieldsports Britain - we have to shoot more deer

[@user-ju7dx8mu6d]

Two words for Childerley. Pole saw. Lovely show. Deer season opens here in BC in a couple of weeks. No shooting in the dark

[@marcussmith8196]

Cant get a Pole over here for anything these days William. What with Brexit and covid they've all gone back to Poland 😂

[@stubuddle5561]

Spot on as normal team. love it.

[@jackyboyrichards5412]

Great show tonight, need more with jaf and the gang , good down to earth lads 😁😁👍👍

[@southsomersetferretersfiel5202]

Thanks 👍

[@martin2514]

There are plenty of people who want to shoot deer. However the land owner won’t ask for help and the people who are not able to cope. REFUSE TO ALLOW ANYONE ELSE TO DARE STEP ON THE LAND TO HELP THEM!!!

[@alanbush4192]

getting permission to control deer has always hard to get because anyone who had it would guard it with their life and would never invite even a friend onto the ground for fear that even a "friend" would try to steal it off of them. And I'm afraid old habits die hard even though there is now a glut of dear the old fears still prevail. Meanwhile the deer continue to increase

[@theashbys8863]

Awesome as always thanks all

Another great show Charlie. One of the highlights of my week.

Thanks. My mistake. / Charlie

[@GARDENER42]

I'd willingly shoot more deer but being charged DOUBLE the open market price per kg (£2 vs £1) for the carcass means I shoot half the deer I would otherwise. I hunt & fish to eat to a greater extent than for the activity itself & when boned pork shoulder & chicken thighs are cheaper for the meat content even WITHOUT factoring in the cost of the day's stalking (Tesco's ribeye offer would be cheaper if I did that...), I'll "hunt" in Aldi.* *Other supermarket brands available...

[@gilbert7794]

Definitely around south Lincolnshire at least six dead deer hit by cars on my road

[@frankday1234]

So catfish are no longer recognised as fish. Who thought that one up, Packham?

[@wildernesseducation]

The question that you should be asking is why is there no support for recreational deer stalkers interm's of funding for local larder facilities that recreational deer stalkers can use that and why do we continue to see venison from New Zealand on supermarket shelves. In 2019 the Scottish Governments woodland creation grant budget was something like £56million and about 1/3 of that budget when on littering the countryside with deer fencing. Several million pounds went on funding expansion of private tree nurseries to grow extra trees most of which are destined to replace those trees that have been browsed by deer. Not one penny has been spent on helping to fund deer managers or larder facilities. I recently approached Scottish Forestry for grant assistance under there small scale harvesting and processing grant for a mobile deer larder / chill so that handle more carcasses in remote forests where I don't have access to larder facilities so that I can process more beasts into the food chain. I was told that a mobile deer larder was not eligible for grant assistance.

great show

[@garyrgjoutdoors5325]

fantastic stuff

[@MrPh30]

Another exellent episode, what many ara and similar in their blid ideology cant or wont fathom is the historical references that keep turning up via their behavior and actions.

[@hughrose376]

Managing deer is simply a matter of sufficient stalker application. If recreational stalkers invest sufficient time and effort, they can reduce deer densities to low levels just as well as a professional can. But one hunter cannot manage a deer population over more than a tiny woodland area stalking for just a few hours a week.

[@JohnJohnson-xw5dg]

Very true Hugh

[@sallybennett7869]

I have never seen so many Roe, it's impossible to walk the dogs without seeing up to 9 of them, they've become so emboldened around humans and dogs that they just stand a few yards off and stare...I would like to see the numbers reduced significantly and humanely; the number of road-kills is beyond ridiculous. My Wolfdogs are well trained but when there are deer that close by I lose them frequently which is a real concern.

[@septicsceptic419]

Land owners should pick more competent stalkers. I haven't been able to get stalking for years unless I pay. I know people with no stalking experience that have several farms that have large deer populations and they take 2-3 deer per year as they prefer to shoot foxes.

[@marks1014]

Looks like a high tower in the middle of the field would sort out that problem easily. The income from venison would soon pay for it as finally prices are on the up!

[@JohnJohnson-xw5dg]

Trouble is fallow would just move to somewhere safe, they learn very quickly. Then there is this income from venison, what income!

[@marks1014]

@@JohnJohnson-xw5dg Prices are going up John. Up to £1.50kg. It's only an 80 acre field and yes the deer can move but foot stalking looks like a waste of time so a tower is the only way that I can see. What would you suggest?

[@dominiccampbell947]

Much cleaner job than with the machete Paul lad! We'll make a forester of you yet!

[@royalalloy3471]

Just need to make deer hunting more accessible instead of keeping it from the masses... Getting a deer permission is beyond hard to get

[@royalalloy3471]

I was on 'Shooting for Heros' under help 4 heros till it got cancelled by corporate pressure. Have NVQ live quary management but never managed to complete DSC. Tried for couple years to get on deerstalking it's just to expensive and keeped by gatekeepers charging silly money. So stuck with pigeon (working class game birds) SGC and target shooting FAC. SA90 (a) qualified and NRA RCO/RSO 21&1/2 experienced but still couldn't get a open ticket (because a uneducated nor qualified punter says so)... No wonder most give up.

[@KolyaNickD]

I wonder how hard it is or isn't for most people. I had a 308 added to my licence with just one booking for boar/deer , no dsc course. However, I grew up on a farm and previously owned a centrefire - albeit 20 years ago. Also had a open ticket already for 22 and 17hmr. Was pleased with how Somerset police handled it with no more than a phone call - the licensing guy seemed to be the shooter himself..

[@royalalloy3471]

@@KolyaNickD it's not getting calibers on your certificate (we don't have licences) that's the issuse for anyone, I have over 20 on my FAC, it's getting stalking permissions that's the issue for everyone. And the actual reason not enough were harvested was the price for meat is so low, its a business and has nothing to do with heard management. Its a backwards outdated system a self licking lollipop designed to protect and profit very few.

[@KolyaNickD]

@@royalalloy3471 this confirms to me that the plod discriminate heavily based on socio-economic position. They only want defacto casual gun ownership, which is basically what an open ticket is, for people who are happy and prosperous enough to pay up or are socially connected to the land owning community. The one thing they are terrified of is potential spree killers - it's what this all about. Has to be a better way if filtering these people out.

[@royalalloy3471]

@@KolyaNickD they aren't terrified of spree killers not with the extremely low frequency 11 years gap this time around.... Read 'Does the Finger pull the trigger' and you'll have your eyes open to the truth of illegal homeoffice firearms policy... Even under Heller v DC the SCOTUS had to revert to the English Bill of Rights (which are still law) to protect the US 2nd amendment. That's why nothing is banned no firearms can be banned. 97 they moved handguns to section 5 and won't give you a section 5 certificate... Because they can't ban them. We have certificates for the recording of game and sporting numbers NOT licenses for ownership... As you have a enalable rights to be armed it's not a privilege.... Knowledge dispels fear.

After Grouse shooting they will then ban Pheasant shooting and after that you would not even be able to go Fishing!

[@jjhw2941]

Right now I'm in a suburban area that has a huge number of muntjacs, so shooting them with a deer rifle is out of the question, the only possible remedy is tranquillizer guns, but the government have made them Section 5. Right now they die when they are run over by a car, hopefully without any human fatalities. I nearly hit one on the bypass about a month ago, it scared the life out of me.

[@fieldsportstv]

Thanks for this. Your experience is one of the strongest arguments for reintroducing bow hunting. I have heard that at least one of the UK's environment departments are looking at it. / Charlie

[@jjhw2941]

@@fieldsportstv I hope you are right. I am not far from Sandringham and I fear that it will take a Royal being in an accident with a muntjac before anything will happen.

[@OehlJim]

For further study, check out the Deer conservation situation in Michigan, USA. The anti-hunting groups have dissuaded young people to not pursue hunting Resulting in excess of 60,000 car/deer accidents a year, and deer suffering and dying from chronic wasting disease and bovine tuberculosis.

[@JohnJohnson-xw5dg]

Nothing wrong with recreational stalkers if they can get the job done. Then there's the issue of where the meat goes. We are seeing groups of 100 plus in this area

[@marks1014]

The problem is that most can't. See Hugh Rose's comment above.

[@JohnJohnson-xw5dg]

@@marks1014 They are very rare indeed

[@danieltaylor5231]

Wouldn't it be more correct to say the recreational stalkers pay to help reduce the deer population rather than say they do it for free? Don't you have to buy a license, your rifle and ammo?

With industrial development, still there’re many deers & other wild animals got reproduced, and you can go hunting. Supposed you have large lands, keep environment well. I stay at Asia for a long time, there’re guns & hunting restrictions in many areas; finally I found reasons might be environmental pollution & some government don’t like people owning guns. Regarding guns owning maybe related to their policy, laws, religion or society atmosphere, whatever; would be difficult to judge; such as a small island - Taiwan, there were thousands of hunters & guns owners, no matter what’s legal or not, got put in jail for many years with strange, unreasonable, ridiculous judge. Now, they got released, people & officials are discussing guns owning & hunting; hope get right direction, without bias. Regarding environment, just one earth, there’s responsibility for everybody. Those Asia areas are developing industries & technology, destroyed wild lands, ranges; but without effective management, got pollution; there’s no hunting, but wild animals are reduced or disappeared. Moreover, many people got cancer or strange diseases. Some people criticized hunters, judge hunters for spoiling environment. Finally, people found those were excuses; hunters care environment indeed, hunters care animals reproduction, hunters care field sports can be run continuously. Your team is highly appreciated; please promote field sports and guns to Asia areas.
