The message needs to get out there that hunters- not environmentalists- who take the time and effort to manage our game population. It is hunters who really care for the game they hunt. Also, nice side-by-side you got there. Is it one you restored?

There are many, many environmentalists doing real and valuable work in our countryside. Just as there are estates that work hard to increase the quality and biodiversity of their land. The ‘us and them’ attitude of many in the hunting and environmental communities is hampering progress. The best solutions lie somewhere in the middle of the two poles. Like much in life.

Biodiversity rarely ends up well for the prey animals and certainly doesn’t end with a harvestable surplus of game animals. Something we knew well since the beginning of mankind up to 50-60 years ago. Back in the 70-80’s and even a little of the 90’s, any kid in my agricultural community could go out and with some effort could find and shoot a wild pheasant or two. Today we you can go out and see an amazing amount of biodiversity, hawks, raccoons, fox, skunks, feral house cats, snakes, ect. But no wild pheasant or almost no ground nesting birds at all for that matter. Up till the 70’s, DDT really put a hurt to the hawk population, and varmint hunting was still very popular. Well today, you can’t shoot varmints and the hawks are everywhere. Everyone loves watching birds of prey including myself but if you want to eat once in awhile without going to the market, you can’t have other predators running around unchecked. That’s a lesson we once knew well but only recently have forgotten 🤷🏽♂️

We have fancy hunting in the US too but as a rule, must of us good ole boys put on tattered camo and just hit the woods. I see this as a bygone era form of hunting. I personally am going on one of these in Wales in November this year and seeking out opportunities in many other countries as well as here in the US. I love this stuff and yes, most can’t do it. It’s expensive and poo pooed by many. Conservation will always be made possible by hunters. Never forget that. And keep up this wonderful production. It showcases possibilities and opportunity. I can’t wait!

the atmosphere that is created in the narration, the cinematography, the comments and the right soundtrack is second to none. you can almost feel the moisture in the air and smell the dampness in the ground. Yes this is a video about hunting and that's not to everyone taste but its also about a lot more. Its about being in nature, its about land management and conservation and its also about having the conversation about where as hunters where we stand in it all. some of the most beautiful things I have seen over the years is when I'm trying to become invisible in the environment i'm in and letting the world around me become natural again. its that moment when a robin comes and sits on the end of your gun or watching 2 hares fighting at the bottom of a field and sometimes its making the decision not take the shot because its just to perfect. to the whole TGS crew just to perfect...thank you

I enjoyed this a lot. I liked seeing the island of habitat. 128 acres have just been ripped up and sold off in plots near me. 2 years ago it was woods, small farmed fields and pasture, with little habitats for birds & animals. 2020, we lost 200 acres of woods & grass fields next to us too. Townies & big farmers have destroyed roughly 7000 acres in my county since 2020. The new townies are from California, Oregon, Washington state, and New England. It's true that occasionally they get called a colonizer or gentrifier and get thrown out of a local restaurant... But they keep coming.

Very nice Jonny! Growing up here in central N.C. (Randolph Co. USA) in the '60's & '70's, you could scare up at least 3 coveys of quail (Bobwhite) on any given day almost! By the late '90's they were almost non-existent! And they were already on a decline in the '40's & '50's mind you. The last wild bird I heard was in 2010 and I called it up to the edge of our garden ( a male). I felt very sorry for him. I've heard of several factors that lead to their demise.....farming practices, pesticides, over-hunting ( chasing down all the singles from the covey), pedators ( foxes, bobcats, raccoons and stray house-cats). They have managed to re-instate the Bald Eagle, Wild Turkeys and White-tailed Deer are rampant to say the least but not the Quail! Hard to imagine! Great hunt there nontheless!
