I’m from America. I’m envious of the hunting culture and traditions. Great video!

[@CountydeerstalkingCoUk]

There is no denying we have some great hunting in the UK. There is something in season 365 days a year and we have the highest deer population in 1000 yrs. In fact, we get a lot of Americans coming over here to shoot. That said you guys also have a long proud history of hunting and some really interesting species. At any rate, thanks for your comment and for watching!

[@revenant-knives]

Brilliant, Peter. Thank you for your time this weekend.

[@CountydeerstalkingCoUk]

Pleasure and great to get a chance to speak with you at the show.

Beautiful made Video, Peter! I work as a PH in Germany. I`am hunting with the Blaser K95 Ultimate Carbon since January 2023 and I couldn`t be happier. I got it with 52cm barrel in 8,5x55 Blaser. I`am using it with the recoil absorption system and the F&D 3d 231 Suppressor (mine only weights 227 gram). The recoil is very manageable. Blaser just introduced the new K95 Carbon NX. I like the glossier finish of the "older" Version more. The K95s are available with fluted barrels now, which saves about 80 gram (depending on barrel length). I highly recommend you the "Niggeloh Automatic Pull" Rifle Sling. Waidmannsheil/Good Hunting!

[@CountydeerstalkingCoUk]

Thanks for taking the time to reach out and make a comment. Interesting, I'll take a look at the new rifles you've mentioned. Waidmannsheil!

Interconnected & interdependant; Your lovely videoes connect us with values we all long for. Deeply. Thank you for creating and sharing valuable content!

What a kind comment, thanks so much, it's an absolute pleasure.

[@dominicjohnson8427]

Great video as always Peter, I’ve often pondered my own consumption of farmed and processed food compared to the venison I harvest myself and distribute to loved ones, the difficulties of living in the rat race are drastically reduced by my regular trips to Scotland and perhaps turning the phone off while up there would give even greater benefits, I’ve never suffered with mental health problems but maybe that’s because I spend time in the countryside with my dog n my gun

[@CountydeerstalkingCoUk]

No doubt you are right, a bit of contemplative time in the countryside does a world of good. Thanks for your comment and vote of support.

[@philipsquire9056]

Lovely video. Good message, I especially appreciate the respect shown for the deer.

[@peterjones4442]

Thanks for watching Philip and for your feedback.

[@frankcavill2206]

What a fantastic video, the best yet, a clear and concise message and wonderful filming, nice to see you in the woods and the K95 in action.

[@CountydeerstalkingCoUk]

Thanks Frank, that's really kind of you, we loved making it. Shame it has not done quite so well on KZbin as usual though!

[@johnengland3887]

Fabulous video with an obvious but little voiced message, loved it! It’s only a shame that venison still isn’t as popular as it should be given the quality of the meat and the way it is harvested. Keep up the good work and Merry Christmas!

[@peterjones4442]

Thanks John, appreciate the support.

[@colmmagill9384]

What can say lovely message and well told thanks hope you have a nice Christmas 🎄

Awesome video. Well made and edited. The message is clear. Spot on. We are "not there" yet in my country, but rules and regulations are thightning up here as well. Thumbs up immediately and greetings from Norway 🇧🇻

[@peterjones4442]

Norway, in fact one of my favourite places to hunt. That's really kind of you, thank you for your support. We are keen to get this message out there, so please give the film a mention where possible.

A very good video for those that don’t understand I must say well done

Brilliant video - well done - the message comes across loud and strong

[@peterjones4442]

Thanks Jane, its a message that I am trying to get across as best I can.

[@SPMech]

I think one massive issue is that most people see hunting as a rich man's game. It's not easy for the common man to hunt and harvest his own meat in the UK. Perhaps a revision amongst stalkers and hunters is also needed if they really want the public to eat healthier non processed meats. Maybe being able to purchase a tag similar to in the US, for a reasonable price might be an option, and allowing people to hunt in national parks (cairngorms etc)

[@CountydeerstalkingCoUk]

It's certainly an idea. Thanks for the comment.

[@derekedgley5074]

Another excellent and informative video, but are the authorities listening! certainly not in Wales and Scotland and then we have DEFRA to contend with, the enemy of farming and the countryside. However, one can but hope, that sensible reasoned future decisions are made with regards to deer management and welfare, but I’m not holding my breath. In the meantime we look forward to more from you in support.

[@CountydeerstalkingCoUk]

Thanks for your kind words Derek, always good to hear from you! Lets keep our fingers crossed for a good decision from DEFRA in the new year!

[@buckrussel3808]

Fantastic video. Can’t say I like the rifle tho or the choice of ammo. But beauty is in the eye of the beholders after all

[@CountydeerstalkingCoUk]

Thanks for the comment. In fact the calibre and ammo put the deer down quick though didn't it! Personally, since trialling it, I have been super impressed. At any rate, thanks very much for watching and the vote of support!

[@buckrussel3808]

@@CountydeerstalkingCoUk thank you for your reply Peter. Absolutely no dispute over the shot or put down. Or even the caliber. I shoot a 6.5 myself, A swede tho and will never change it’s taken all 6 six species of uk deer with ease. I was just giving my two pence worth about blazers and non toxic. Any way the message of the video was fantastic as always. Happy hunting and all the best even if you do shoot a blazer.

[@CountydeerstalkingCoUk]

@@buckrussel3808 Haha! Not a Blaser fan then! As for the 6.5 Swede, I have seen enough of our Swedish club members use it to great effect to appreciate that it is a corker of a round.

[@opsoverseas]

If our critics would step back? I won't hold my breath! Well done Peter, nice drop there. Another off the pyramid, agree about the latest Scots nonsense, keep at it...

Hello Peter. Again great video. Can you tell me what your preferred shooting sticks are that you use please?. I am after some for my new lightweight rifle setup.

Sorry for the slow reply Kris. I have been using ViperFlex for a good many years and have not felt the need to change them.
