Jack Charlton...what can you say, a man for all seasons, a true Englishman, a character, a real person 'wi now't taken out', a true countryman and ambassador for countrysports and outdoors life.....

[@kelvinmarshall9108]

Bless you Jack up there, I followed all this and you can't shoot pheasants, you weren't made to, everything else, your the man, the ferret lost in the hole, probs with this episode we didn't see Jack, too hecktic, when its slow pace and we see and hear Jack speak, we see an absolute gentle man, the finest, I rate you 100 out of 100 Jack, night, god bless Jack.

[@castrolgtx5064]

This picture is so familiar? I wonder is it taken from the October 1981 issue of Sporting Gun they covered a shooting estate in the Cotswolds? Those were the days when the Sporting Gun was worth reading not like the shit that they print today and the magazine was twice the size and less than half the price.

[@freespiritnufc5661]

Simply wonderful

[@RSR423]

My youth and half my adult life was spent immersed in field sports of all kinds, and just like Big Jack I collected bird eggs as a boy. Jack would be turning in his grave at the state of his beloved hunting in this country today, absolutely destroyed by people with absolutely no idea of the subject, who see the countryside and its animals as some Disney cartoon. These campaigners and do gooders often do much more harm than any hunter ever did. The illegal release of thousands of American mink on numerous occasions comes to mind. Britain is a laughingstock to the rest of the world today, a country owned and run by criminals who are hellbent on running it into the ground by allowing millions of immigrants to suck at the tit while our own ex service men sleep rough on the streets and our OAP's cannot afford to put their heating on in winter. You are better off out of it Big Jack.

[@neilcrowther6211]

Thank you for the memories you gave of your days in this glorious countryside we have both in the UK and Ireland. I bet no tv channel will re show this box set!! Even though he helped this country raise the greatest trophy in football a sport this country is passionate about!! Raise your glass of Guinness or likewise to.a men who by reading all the sad responses to his death cherished this man grandfather and great grandfather!!

[@michaelplank8966]

Im glad he cant see england today the shotgun cirtificate was okay straight forward and normall not today

[@jordanhudson5605]

RIP jack cracking videos ready easy old boy

[@martinmcandrew2849]

I personally never took to the driven shoot I prefer to go cross country with 1 good dog and a good reliable single barrel gun. I think its more sportsman like and fairer to the pheasant/grouse/partridge etc My own favourites are woodcock and snipe. Better test of mind and reflexes.

[@angusmcangus7914]

Lovely series. I've watched nearly all of them since I discovered them here. I used to shoot but gave it up because I lost interest and was much more into fly-fishing. I think I'll go out and get a shotgun again.

[@MrTobester1]

He was a canny footballer too!

[@geraberl]

He still couldn't shoot back then either ;)

[@doughroasterbushcraftandsu3947]

geraberl I used to beat on a shoot in Shropshire that he would shoot a day every season I witnessed him bring down some testing birds high and fast

[@outlawhead]

RIP Jack , wish was still only £100 a day

[@stebailey5162]

What a different world we live in now. I still shoot and i watched this as a young. great videos and honest.

[@Timberdoodle197]

Jack was so humble, loved by all and certainly will be missed by all, a great ambassador for the sport

[@dempsey9554]

I can remember watching this on a Sunday afternoon when I'd got back from the pub. Brilliant brings a lot memories back from when I was rabbiting

[@andrewmarlow7303]

I miss beating so much

[@ajadrew]

My first time beating was perhaps around 1970 aged 12, Hintlesham, Suffolk... it's a way of life that can't be explained.

[@Georgeolddrones]

2019 and still excellent

[@boborrock]

Great to see Jack enjoying his sport

[@paullowther8729]

Love watching these old videos

[@Patrick_B687-3]

This was great to watch, really. Truly enjoyed this look back, and will see what else you have.

[@MrNewtonian]

Are you the Richard from the air gun channel?

[@frankbunting2729]

Can anyone tell me the opening music to Jack's game

[@duncanmanns5654]

Fantastic video .... I can watch it time after time ... well worth the watch ...... may jack rest in peace .. 👌👌

[@tysonfield2262]

Stick to football and fishing! RIP utd forever!

[@stephenhowlett6345]

Reminds me of The shooting party. That was a top shoot and birds aplenty.

[@brian280453]

Does anyone know what the soundtrack music was?

[@dontfret147]

Does anyone know which estate this is filmed on?

[@junexxx6315]

Filmed at Powis Castle Estate in Wales. My father was the Head Gamekeeper at that time.

[@Dressagevids]

Really, it's the worst, his seatrout episode caught nothing and finished with a picture of two fish, Jack bless him couldn't catch a cold and I watched him try to fish!

[@deniskeaney8779]

Don’t like this kind off shoot much prefer to see a pointer working

[@perrysheen6770]

I wouldn't lift my gun to all those low birds!!!

[@happyharry8721]

This was before high power cartridges and fools thinking 40 yards is no far enough.

[@medicatedflowers821]

Everyone on a high bird craze

[@dillsplosion5334]

A pheasant tastes the same whether it's shot high or low

[@medicatedflowers821]

James Philip Mason id rather have one from mid high too a sky high the speed they hit the ground there so bruised

[@SuperOlds88]

I would like to see these "hunters" having to go through milo maize or some other heavy cover with a coat that has some birds in it and a shell vest and watch how well they do.

[@alanyoung354]

I'm guessing you're a Yank? If you follow Jack's series he did a programme on what we call in the UK rough shooting which is the type of shooting you're talking about.

[@SuperOlds88]

@@alanyoung354 I guess these are "gentleman" hunters.

[@alanyoung354]

@@SuperOlds88 Does it make any difference if they're rich or poor, gentlemen or ordinary men? We can all get out and enjoy the countryside. I've done both types of shooting....driven days and also days thrashing through thick cover working spaniels shooting a variety of game...pheasant, woodcock, snipe,woodpigeon. Each type of shooting has it's own attractions. I've seen footage of "hunters" in the u.s. dressed in high Viz shooting pheasants that were being released from a barn loft window!! Now that's something to complain about!!

[@SuperOlds88]
