In this episode of Great British Shooting Ian Harford heads out in the beautiful British countryside to enjoy a traditional day's pheasant shooting.
Wolseley Park is situated in the heart of Staffordshire surrounded by rolling hills and breath-taking scenery. Here you’ll find some of the finest pheasants in the country.
Ian has joined a team of experienced guns who are shooting at Wolseley for the first time. The birds are flying high, but thanks to the tireless effort of the beating team, all of the guns have plenty of opportunities to enjoy a fine day of sporting action.
But there is far more to a days shooting than just the shooting itself, which is why driven days like this have been so popular for generations. Everyone involved from the beaters, keepers, pickers-up and the guns are here for a fabulous day out in the British countryside, where tradition, heritage and camaraderie is just as important as the day's sporting endeavour.

I’m sure that you would have had those guns fitted to your, especially cast off among all the other dimensions so your left handed mate was really up the creek.

Genuinely love my driven shooting but I fear for the future as people partake in 200+ bird days. Eventually all these birds if they are not already are going to start going to waste unless people change their eating habits and this is a crying shame for these beautiful birds. Game dealers wont take them up here and literally cant give them away to family and friends. Sad times.

Son Of Winter I completely agree. Driven shooting is brilliant but I am worried guns are getting too greedy. There is really no need for these huge bag days, they are going to turn the public against us. If your not going to take it, dont shoot it.

Ian thats very commendable but even if you conservatively shoot 10 100 bird days a year and theres ten guns you would still end up with 100 in your freezer assuming you take your quota and that leaves 900 unaccounted for and literally every time I have been on a shoot in recent memory guns left with 2 brace at the very most which is very sad. So probably leaves 700 to get rid of :S Multiply that by the thousands of shoots up and down the country and that leaves a massive number when you have places like Water Priory smashing 500+ bird days regularly the only logical outlay for this sort of number is either incinerating them or dog food. Its a big business I get that but just dont feel that it is going to end well for the "sport". This is why I shoot less feather quarry now and got into my stalking just doesn't sit well with me plus your ant beat Venison. Great vids btw looking forward to the Alaska ones as I have Hawke gear myself :)
