I have felt for a long while now, that I need to capture my game shooting days, not only for posterity, but to show a well balanced view to the general public of game shooting.
We all enjoy watching David Carrie video’s of big bag days on some extreme high flying partridge or pheasant and indulging himself with the best of hospitality.
In reality these video’s perhaps showcase less than 10% to 20% of game shoots in the UK.
The other 80% to 90% can be broken down into four main group.
Group 1. The fully driven day. These are shoots with full time gamekeepers and part time beaters with a bag of 200 or less birds.
Group 2. The D.I.Y. driven syndicate. This is where the members of the syndicate do the work of the gamekeeper.
Group 3. The walk one, stand one. These shoot are very much as above, but don’t employ any beaters. Two teams alternate with the beating and shooting.
Group 4. The rough shoot. This is where a small group of people, walk with their guns and shoot any quarry which has been flush out of the under growth by gun dogs.
My forth coming video’s will feature 3 of the 4 main disciplines that I have taken part in this last season.
I have tried to film a well balance true representation of the day.
I would only class myself as an average shot, so I have included a lot of my misses to show that we don’t always connect with our quarry every time we put our gun to our shoulder.
The majority of people who take part in any field sports have a common interest in the management of the countryside as well as being in the countryside. They all enjoy being in the company of like minded people. You don’t have to shoot large bags to have a great day out. Some of my best days have been on small bag days were the emphasis has been on quality over quantity.
And the most rewarding part of the day is when you get presented with a brace of duck, partridge or pheasant to fulfill
our prime evil instinct of a hunter gather.
I do hope you enjoy my video’s and feel free to comment.
Best regards Tony @ Fen Boy Productions.
