In the midst of another gloomy lockdown...these are great to watch again. Cheers guys

Hunting with a tie. This is the most British thing I have ever seen.

Such cool visits to the UK for this Yank. Thank you for posting these videos I resently discovered and enjoy. Such great information. Could only be enhanced if Doc Martin were along. Lol. A great upland channel.

Really enjoyed this one gents. Keep up the content. Great filming, solid cinematography, love the color hue.

Well that was a blast, sitting in my home here in Canada -25 with the wind chill outside, I could be out Hunting White Tail Deer but at 70yrs. of age no thanks. I was out all last week with the gang Hunting Deer with Hounds driving the deer, got a good chill but loved every minute. I'm originally from Yorkshire, and love watching your video's and other Shooting and Hunting related videos from back home. Thank you for sharing, I have knocked Canada Geese out of the sky with Steel shot, just takes some getting used to and finding the right shot choke combination, I' sure you'll get used to it. Thanks again for sharing.

In Denmark lead was banded in 1996. Ive been shooting steel since. In size 3 (3,5mm) you can kill smaller birds like ducks and Pheasants up to 45 m or 50 yards. You will however have to have speed at V0= 425ms to do so. In Denmark we have some ethics relative to the distance that we shoot. Small game up to 30 m ex. pigeon, hare and ducks, medium game ex .Fox and geese up to 25 meter and "big game" = roedeer up to 20 m. These are all regarding shooting with the shotgun. I do like your videos

Only into early November and already one of the wettest seasons I can remember beating in, nice video cheers

Saturday evening watching this,......brilliant thanks

Nothing like feeling like a duck hunting high birds in that wind Johnny you took some really great shoots. Love the countryside wish I were there too. One day

Well done Johnny boy, another very well put together video. Keep em coming.

Great video! Awesome shooting and nice birds.

Greetings from the USA! Great video , loved it.

Great video guys. Really enjoyed it. Keep the coming

One great video Chaps!🇺🇸 The medicine container is a nice addition to your hunt.

Great video well done TGS Don!! It was a brilliant day, good time enjoyed by us all (except the rugby).

Great watch, honest and it happens realtime. It has been exceptionally wet. Give me cold and frosty mornings anytime at this time of year

Love the tweed! Looks great!

Brilliant mate need more hunting videos from you

Great video guys. You make some amazing content and this one is right up there. Felt I was out in the cold and wet with you (though I’d have missed every bird lol).

Loved every moment, spent several years beating with my pair of spaniels on most of the best shoots around Nth Devon. Brought back some great memories, now have to hunt Elk and deer here in BC.

Greetings from America! Great vid.

Nice video. You gentlemen seemed to have a great time.

Been on several clay shooting holidays in Devon, best shoots I ever been !

Well done Johnny. Pheasants, British weather and some Rodello's Machine for good measure. Excellent. Chin chin - MI

Really looking forward to the Fabarm testing with steel. I shoot one myself and would choose it over any gun i've shot with so far. Especially since u can shoot steel with full choke. Awesome video, keep it up.

excellent viewing, got my first game day next week so trying to soak up as much info as possible.

Excellent video as always 👍

Real world issues on what looked like an amazing shoot. I’m impressed no matter what You videoed with.

Great fun to watch. Infantry weather. I miss it...

Hahaha! "Even got one for you Sash".... hahaha! That got me. That curio box was epic though. Not something you see over here. I'm starting one.

Fabulous viewing. The weather? How did you keep your spirits up. Poor cameraman. Steel 😏. Not just the steel but lack of choice of weapons. C'mon gun makers , it won't be a choice we have late but sooner. Well done Johnny

What a fancy hunt, so different from Brazil👏👏👏👏👏

Thanks for the video! I really enjoyed getting a glimpse of upland shooting in the UK. I’ve recently been Interested in coming over from the US to shoot some clay and perhaps birds, so your insights and perspective have been really helpful. Cheers👍

Johnny, you Sasha have out done your selves! Love so many of your videos this is definitely a favourite! Would be great having you both here in Ontario Canada for a hunt sometime. Wish I had the funds to bring you both for the experience! Cheers to you both!

Mate, looking from New Zealand that looks like a great fun shoot. So different over there, your definitely getting a lot of shooting in on these drives. It does make me smile at the shirt and tie and the rain gear in use, does your jacket really get sopping wet and hold in water? If so we prefer firmer more modern barriers to rain over here.

Nice video John. Good thing you went shooting instead of watching the rugby live! Hie kom die Bokke!! You will have to go film shooting a few springbokke in the Karoo to make up for England's performance.

Great to see you doing a proper country gentleman’s shoot Jonny. You certainly deserve to for all the promotion you do to further the English shooting sport. Shame about the weather though....

We may not have your fancy pheasant drives but we have the World Cup 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦

Can't wait till the Fabarm arrives!

The last bit, your reflections on the day, was actually the best part in a great episode. I use steel when hunting mallard on the wing, since we're shooting over wetlands. And I have to go up 2 sizes compared to lead shat to kill effectively. I am a decent shot, I am well attuned to my gear and my rifle, but lead simply has more killing power on mallard. When shooting pidgeons I find that steel or lead doesn't matter, both get the job done on distances below 50 yds. I guess mallard are just more badass.

I can feel the cold and wet just watching this. Wet or happy..... looks like both 😎

Great hunt. Welcome to my world. Trying to shoot, self film in the rain and doing it every week - and I wear glasses lol! Interested to hear your tests on Fabarm Steel full choke.

Hi guys. Huge fan of this video, great cutaways in and amongst some cracking action shots. What are you using as your editing tools? I really like the colours you’ve gone for. What camera are you using for the majority of the filming? Slow mo always looks good with a good sound track!

I would love to go to one of these real gentlemenly shoots, I'm involved in a rough shoot on an RAF camp, and it is great fun, I absolutely love it, but I'd like to shoot a very formal shoot just once 😎

I've been to Devon. Very pretty, but as I recall the weather I assume that hunt was in July. What kind of pheasants are those? I assume an import into the UK. Lead, for what this info is worth, is now banned in California with the exception of some private clubs. That applies to bullets as well as shot shells.

What boots are you wearing here? Great video as always!

Looks an amazing shoot in fine British weather.... What gun are you shooting? Some lovely shots being filmed there

Rain or not, I think you guys were having a great time. I seem to remember doing something similar without rain gear or shooting. Now where was that? 😁 Does the "Wanker" Don not own a pair of wellies? I think for all the abuse Sash gets, if he doesn't have a pair, LMK. Great video guys. I throughly enjoyed it.

What was the shoot you were on? Looks like a fantastic place

great vid johnny some good kills what gun did you use and choke combination

I Love the hant vary

Where did you got those glasses with the cam?

What kind of jacket are you wearing in the last drive? Some excellent shooting 👍🏻

So, this looks pretty fun but so different from what I am accustomed to in the states. Are these pheasants "caged" birds that are released from a certain point and sail over the designated shooting areas? Just so different from the way I hunt wild birds in MN, IA, or SD...I am used to hunting behind the lab, covering a lot of ground, and the dog flushing the birds up within range. Fun to watch though.

@3:27 That's some really nice engraving, probably not a factory option?

Fantastic film as always tgs, I completely agree with you about wanting to get the cleanest kill possible without just wounding the bird, however I do feel we have a responsibility to take home whatever we shoot on the day and sometimes I feel taking too tightly choked gun out on a normal sort of not so high bird day you can knock the meat around too much. I therefore ask did you manage to take any of the steel shot ones home and if so was there any noticeable difference compared to lead?

Many manufacturers (i.e. Browning) say that shooting steel adds 1/4 to your choke (making 1/2 = 3/4 and 3/4 = 1/1) so would it really be necessary to shoot 1/1 - since that would be extra full? Here in Denmark we have been shooting steel only (or tungsten/bismuth, but really everyone uses steel) since lead was banned in 1996 and lots and lots of people have shot 3/4 and 1/1 chocked guns using steel with no issue (I have 100's of 12/76 28g 500m/s steel gamebores through my Winchester SX2 with 3/4) - is there really any danger other than potential cosmetic damage to the end of our barrel?

You guys have a lot of wild birds in your neck of the woods.

It looked like you were using the Browning XS Pro on game. Is that because you were using steal? How did you find the gun in the field?

Cracking video John .I thought you shot very well, especially having to cope with the weather trying to produce a decent and presentable piece of film with running commentary .Well done .

Hi mate..please try a proper cartridge. B&P F2 Classic 34gr nr5. 1/2 choke. No more wounded birds up to 75 yards...but warning, it's a tight pattern, very tight... at 20yards 15cm diameter. I hope never have to change again. I use 76cm barrel 686E sport beretta with 1/2 choke.

What style hat are you wearing? It seems more fitted than the ones I’m used to seeing.

The gun shop i know steel is a new thing for you guys. but over here in denmark we had a total lead ban for about 20 years. We are not bound by C.I.P regulations so we got some pretty nasty steel cartridges. #2 hypersteel going at 480m/s we run them through full chokes when hunting eiders at sea usually in my winchester SX3 with carlsons chokes. they can handle it but the recoil is to stiff for regular o/u or S/s

The Eley steels have a muzzle velocity of ~1230 fps (as stated on their website), which is slow even by the standards of lead. The fact that you were still killing high birds with such slow steel pellets is actually pretty promising. If you were to use an equivalent steel cartridge at +1400 fps (eg gamebore biosteel, size 3 at 1490 fps) I doubt you'd even notice a difference in killing ability.

Hie Johnny. Im just getting into hunting and im planning on getting my hunting licence next year , so im pretty much new to everything. What rifle and shotgun would you recommend to me as a beginner to get as a start. Im planning on spending a €1000 on each, plus a little more on the rifle espeacially with a good scope.Overkill or just right? I would love to read your reply! If anyone else can help i would really appreciate it.

What estate did you go to?

I really enjoy the pageantry and gentlemanliness of these hunts and all the conservation efforts involved. But it also make me sad that this is what hunting in England is.

J - that’s exactly why I bought the same Miroku too. 3 years on I will find it very hard to find an alternative. I would rather shoot 5 good birds and eat them myself than 30 average clay-like birds and send them off. Is anyone sure we can’t shoot steel through full and 3/4?

Steels been a thing for a while here in America, they have been developed to the point they have perfectly acceptable performance. But heavy metal like tungsten or bismuth are still good bets if your going after tougher prey and need a little more ompf.

Is there a limit on how many shotgun shells you can purchase at one time or have in your possession? Also, can you purchase buck shot and slugs?

Hey, what are those ear plugs you used? Cheers

What boots do you hunt in?

What was the reason for using steel ?

Why do you use gamebore silver steel over gamebore black gold steel?

Hiya, how do you find out who the local land owner is?

I hate to agree with the lead is the only way guys but unfortunately it’s still the best. I do my best to shoot steel and fiber wads especially on public land but for hunting I’m still gonna shoot lead where legal. I always have both, but lead is still best. In fact not ten minutes ago I loaded all my Typhoon Mags with steel No5 shot for some clays I’m doing this coming Sunday, (not tomorrow) and I know lead would be better but since it’s farm land I’m okay with some misses or more likely bad hits.

What's the gun you shot?

32-12 🇿🇦

Can't you use Tungsten or Bismuth ?

In the Netherlands we are only allowed Steel ...

I mainly clicked on this video bc i wanted to know more about the britsh way of hunting. After watching this video, i can say that it is completely different from what we do in finland. Really the only similarity is that tou shoot at flying creatures with a shotgun

Great vid guys. This is why I prefer wildfowling! I don't need to dress like I'm preparing to annexe a third world country :D

To shoot high birds the one most important thing I've learned you need is a telephone number for a bank account

I love duck hunt butwathtodo

Can’t drink drive but can drink and shoot a shotgun ye makes sense

Какой дробью стрелял?,3

To each his own I guess. This looks rather boring to me. I grew up pheasant hunting where you walked miles in a day through, corn, milo maize, natural plum thickets that would have torn this gentlemans clothes to shreds, 14' tall hemp, sugar beets and any number of very thick ground covers. The birds were wild as birds not raised in pens so they were much stronger flyers and runners. The dogs made the day as they made the difference on success rates. Shots were almost always done from a not very solid position, stumbling, birds jumping behind you, dozens and dozens of varied types of shots. Plus you were carrying game in your coat and at times that was substantial. Between your shell vest and birds you could be carrying a good load again on sometimes tough terrain. We used flushers more often than pointers since we did a lot of waterfowling also so our dogs had to be 2-dimensional. Glad this fella enjoys this type of thing and great that the other people on this page find it nice too but for me it just looks plain boring. Just my two-cents have a nice day.

you need a semi auto

I have one laik she

Anti-Gun ad on this video???

The cruelest of sport! Soo many birds become maimed and go uncollected ..sick

I'm sorry but you call this "hunt" ? Ball Trap with pheasants OK

Vraiment une chasse de roosbeef aucune éthique de chasse aucun mérite sa devrait être interdit cette pratique 🤦‍♂️

Steel sucks. The only good that may come out of all of this "non-tox" business, is that bismuth comes way down in price.

Lasst die Tiere leben.

Bad shooter

Your constant commercials interruptions make your video unpleasant to watch.

Shooting animals is no fun.👎 Every life is sacred.
