Great show, better than any hunting show out there now! I still wear a old Barbour coat when I bird hunt (one of the reasons they originally made them) and I loved seeing these guys pushing through the hedgerows and fields.

[@bengardner5269]

Modest, respectful, appreciative, thankful. That's what a days fieldsports means to me too and how lovely to see it in a man of Jacks fame and stature. A true countryman. Rest easy Sir.

[@alanward4506]

As a shooting man I loved this all too rare sympathetic programme on our sport.

[@duncanmanns5654]

Rest In peace Jack ..... fantastic video .loved watching it again and again especially the walked up shooting with your friend .... u was a legend at leeds United I've supported them for 43 years .... god bless ......

[@williamhannah6429]

a true old gent.

[@tony2504]

Vaguely remember this show when I was in the Army but too busy playing soldiers to follow up country sports ,fast forward 20 + yrs i've been involved in country sports for a few years now, Wish I'd have found this series earlier, brilliant.

How fortunate for us in the United States that we still have some shows about hunting. More are to be found on the internet these days, but it is still wonderful to see old shows like this from the better days in the UK. We have our own 'Continental Shoots' over here, but they are not publicized widely because of the Antis. I may not go along with the idea of a 500 bird Pheasant shoot, but meeting with other people with different viewpoints, talking to others from all walks of life, and sharing a pastime that we all love would be great for me. The get together before the hunt and mingling with the crowd. The lunch break with canapes and champagne, and talking about the shots you made and missed. Talking with your guide/loader about the day and how he feels about how things are going in his land. Alas, I have waited too long to sample these wonderful things. The cost of a hunt, even a rough shoot, has gone through the roof. The ticket for airline passage is bad enough but then I find that it is 600 pounds for ONE day in the heather. I am also 63 and my reflexes have slowed dramatically. I do finally own 4 double guns, but they are nothing to brag about. I would be looked down upon as a cheap American, trying to cheapen your sport. And I have no tweed or Burberry to wear. Wish I would have been able to go there in the 80s.

Much better times Rodger me old mate

I Love these vintage hunting shows! I was fortunate to grow up in the countryside hunting game with some great hunting mentors. Lots of great memories. I spend as much time as possible getting youngsters involved in traditional hunting. Sadly many will never get the chance to experience it.

[@brian280453]

This is my favourite of all the series, and of all the field sports films I’ve seen. Mainly because it brings back so many wonderful memories of rough shooting with friends and most of all my father in law, a real old fashioned countryman!.

[@JonniePolyester]

I remember this classic series too it was on around the same time as Sir Michael Hordern's excellent series Rod & Line. Jack Charlton is just the kind of chap you want to shoot with ; friendly, modest and always respectful of the countryside and its bounty - oh and a World Cup winner in his spare time! Thank you so much for posting!

[@tomkenyon353]

JonniePolyester I’ve shot with him

[@Georgeolddrones]

2019 and still excellent

Loving the 3 door rangey

[@giovannibaronello5127]

Fantastic great watching these programs again. Gets you going to start as the season opens. We are a band of brothers who love and respect the game we are privileged to harvest in our little rough shoots.

[@richardtimms8733]

I remember this from the 80's, never missed an episode. Couldn't wait for the Pigeon Shooting one, watched them all with my Dad, a hardened keeper all his life, "load of rubbish" he used to say after each episode just to wind me up!!

[@johnbarron618]

I remember this show from the early 80s . real rough shooting. hardly see a show like this on telly now. being so pc .

[@user-vg1fs2uk4p]

I think antis and the thick people who leave their nasty comments are so detached from nature they think the countryside is like the animals of farthing wood.let people who work the land and environment to care for it and stay in your polluting city's

[@erdemir5641]

I think it got stopped then though due to complaints, it was about the time the dogooders started coming in

[@Outta_Towna82]

R.I.P Jack, true countryman! ❤

[@stephenparkes5932]

Down to earth man , good on you big Jack. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧😀😀😀😀

[@keithpilkington3340]

Love it my dog was listening too it all the time wondering what was going on

[@stephenasbridge878]

I reckon Jack smoked tabs before the final in ‘66....;) Brilliant upload. Thank you.

[@woodnugget7513]

Fantastic 😀👍

[@Celtic-Silver-countryman]

That's how Rough Shooting should be a good mixture.

[@shooter7577]

[@seannamadra5675]

[@dennisstalker9968]

Aye great man rip big fella

[@handle11141]

so nice

[@darrenbayliss3194]

Jack loved he's shooting

[@stephenhowlett6345]

What a great program and lovely haunting music.

[@duncanmanns5654]

That what we love doing ... having a walk about with your mates with the guns ..... god bless jack a true gent . Rest in peace ....

[@dryflyman7121]

Believe me, although it’s many years ago since I last did it, this is hard work ! You walk miles in a day and have to lug back all you shoot which is very tiring by the end of the day. As Jack said you have to a good dog/dogs or it’s very hard. I didn’t and I spent half my day trying to find what I’d shot !! RIP Jack

[@michaelforster8440]

love seeing great dogs working,

[@tonynapoli5549]

[@Patrick_B687-3]

Great day afield this.

[@GivendaleSpaniels]

Great series I also watched with me Dad I loved shooting & Gundogs then and 35 years on I still love it

[@andybfc1028]

A way off life done the right way too many do gooders have spoiled it

[@Olderlion]

Great programmes,the PC brigade now would say that what Jack is doing doe,s not set a good example for the young of today,RIP Jack.

[@stephenblackwood5255]

Fenton .... Fenton haha good fun

[@astakavasta3168]

No one picked spent cartridges! Maybe off camera.

[@51WCDodge]

Funny how a lot of country sports depend on looking at a dogs backside. :-)

[@mal334455]

a decent show that was ruined by people writing in and complaining

[@liamofthornhill]

BBC has gone from producing shows like this to shows about hunt sabs

[@dempsey9554]

@@liamofthornhill I don't watch the bbc and dont pay the licence fee because of all them fuckin do gooders trying to tell you what to think. You can be anything you want but if you're a true Englishman you haven't got a say . Makes me feel like a guest in my own country

[@dempsey9554]

@Mark Smith we had 2 world wars and it looks like they all died for fuckall

[@RSR423]

Excellent series Jacks Game, along with Out of Town and Old Country. Pastimes completely ruined today by ignorant objectors and do gooders, without the slightest understanding of the subject.

[@alanbush4192]

what a bunch of noisy buggers they would likely have got twice as much on the first drive if they had kept the noise down. call your dog back on the whistle not at the top of your voice. The human voice is the best way to scare off game fact

[@wolfthequarrelsome504]

4Shot and fished in Ireland for 35 years. Eventually trained setters and retrievers (sometimes the same dog) to whistle and hand signals only. No voice commands.

[@jimgrier7869]

What coat are you wearing?

[@TheBendalina]

RIP with all the animals you killed.

[@wolfthequarrelsome504]

And enjoyed eating. I ate many the pheasant casserole after a good day out. You do realize that they are shooting birds they bought and stocked themselves?

[@nevillewalker6299]

As it should be done, more to a day with dog and gun than just killing things.

[@lmj2783]

That's a proper shooting video not like the shit you see now all advertising nobs

[@williamhannah6429]

mistake not this twat
