Fieldsports Britain - Scottish deer cull crisis
Рет қаралды 55,263
Күн бұрынWe're hunting red hinds in the hills of Ardnamurchan in Scotland with stalkers from all over Europe. It's exactly what Nicola Sturgeon and Boris Johnson hate. This week we look at the two-pronged political attack on deerstalking from the SNP and the Tory party. Nicola wants all the deer shot so she can grow trees all over the Highlands. Boris wants to ban overseas deerstalkers from shooting them. He has widened his new hunting tourism consultation, originally set up to find evidence to ban foreign trophy imports, so that it includes UK deerstalking - trophy exports. We also go to see UK Deer Track & Recovery at work at a Ladies' Rifle Club event in Gloucestershire. David brings you the latest from the News Stump, and Charlie has Hunting KZfaq, all in this week's #FieldsportsBritain

Why shoot deer?
There are more than two million red, roe, fallow, sika, muntjac and Chinese water deer in Britain’s countryside and semi-urban areas, the highest level for 1,000 years. Numbers have doubled since 1999, according to the Deer Initiative, the UK government’s deer agency.
We’re proud to promote enjoyment of fieldsports and the countryside. There are three guiding principles to everything we do on Fieldsports Channel:
▶ Shoot responsibly
▶ Respect the quarry
▶ Ensure a humane, clean and quick kill

“SHOOTING SPORTS UK” Really enjoy watching your channel, you inspired me to start shooting and I got my first shotgun a couple of months ago. I eventually managed to persuade a farmer to let me out in their fields and I managed to get my first ever brace of pheasants last weekend as well as a rabbit and a squirrel.

To claim that reforesting is going to cause more fire in Scotland is not supported by any evidence. Scotland will become warmer but also wetter. The reforestation will aid in preventing erosion and other problems. However I can't see any reason why exterminating red deer is of any benefit to the environment. The trees should be planted in copses of different types of trees and can be protected by fencing until they are large enough to survive the deer.

In the uk there’s way too many deer and then hunters will cry that they’re aren’t any deer.The deer destroy the forest. hunters need to realize it is a delicate balance your job as a Hunter is not to go kill animals it is to protect the environment and restore the environment. If you do wipe the deer population out for a few years to restore the environment that means you’ll have healthier populations of deer. As we’ll even more dear and other animals.

I would like to see Scotland with a well managed hunting system similar to Canada where you bought your tag for Hind or stag and could choose your area to hunt, all under the regulation of well educated and trained conservation officers, this would bring in way more revenue than the current system which limits the sport to the rich and powerful while denying the people of Scotland the right to hunt in their own country.
@molecatcher3383 4 жыл бұрын
Unfortunately most of the Scottish Highlands is made up of very large land holdings owned by a small number of people. These "sporting estates" draw much of their income from deer stalking for paying guests, who are mainly interested in shooting stags. This causes the estates to keep the deer numbers on their ground too high to allow natural tree growth or regeneration. The high deer numbers also destroy other plant species, cause soil erosion and remove habitat for other wildlife. Shooting deer in Scotland is a sport carried out by relatively few local people, especially when compared to other European countries like Norway, which also contributes to the excessively high deer numbers. I agree with you that much more ordinary people should be allowed to hunt deer in Scotland which would mean giving them managed, controlled access to the areas where the deer live. This would involve all kinds of legal, and organizational changes but it would allow the deer numbers to be brought down, allow natural tree regeneration and allow many more ordinary people to enjoy hunting deer.

@andrewwilliamson2304 4 жыл бұрын
deer will graze on the tops of young trees, possibly killing or stunting their growth. Therefore, the trees will need protecting and its cheaper to just indiscriminately shoot them all then installing fencing and impose proper management. Also, lady whats her face, wants all the killing out of the way quick and unnoticed so the readers of her magazine dont know that she is killing animals, even if it is for management purposes.

It’s an incredible place it would be a shame to see it change at the hands of people and groups with no idea of what they are doing. We are facing the same challenges in Australia from these activist groups.

Shooting sports UK. I am going to tell you a little story about the anti’s. One farm (a friend 😉) shoots on in our area has a neighbor who would phone the police at least once a month to report gun shots on there farm, it got so bad that “my friend” was phoning the local constabulary to tell them he would be shooting that night etc. It turned out, as you may guess, they were anti’s. To cut a long story short. My friend got a phone call from the farm he has permission on, they told him the neighboring farm had phoned them and left a phone number for “my friend” to contact them. It turned out that the lady of the farm had started a large veg garden, anyone guess what’s coming next. Yes, the rabbits had decimated it. He had the permission signed in ten minutes flat, and he now shoots the whole farm. Great show guys, please keep them coming.

Would love to hunt a Stag as an American elk hunter....but I'd for certain equally love a cull hunt for hind. Never ceases to boggle my mind....in America, most weapons are legal unlike the UK, but thanks to Hollywood, the use of suppressors is highly regulated (fear and loathing). Guess we get more weapons, but you get suppressors.

From a hunter here in the the U.S.. This was very enjoyable. I felt like I was a part if it. Never felt remorse for taking food. Maybe working for a sporting optics company isn't his calling. The right attitude would be to respect the animal and use as meat for the table.Those women are the enemies of Scotland as far as I am concerned. To just wipe out The herd is irresponsible and ot sounds like junk science to even believe this would have an affect on reforestation. So the English( maybe even Scottish also?) have become anti-hunting? I say fight. Do not let these know nothings get away with it.
