Good day Charlie and the team, enjoyed watching the videos for this week with great content, thanks and thumbs up.With best regards and greetings from NZ in Down Under,, Tony.
I love the idea that deer populations have bloomed in the last 50 years because there are no apex predators as they were eradicated 450 years ago. Nothing to do with different cropping or rotations or anything like that. Oh no, it was hunters 450 years ago that caused the "problem" today. May be a tag system for England would help? Ditto in Scotland. Phil Spencer is a top guy and doesn't shy away from his love and understanding of our sports. Interesting to see the names taking part in the shoot in Germany. Names including Jeremy Clarkson, Sir Lewis Hamilton, David Beckham and a load of others. Sometimes it would be nice if our shooting celebs would say they shoot. Even if it is only plates (Lewis Hamilton is a vegan, I believe).
Great video,here in northern California,grey squirrels eat the bark around the tops of redwood trees.the tree then dies from the top down,these trees are then,not good for lumber.squirrels are a big problem for timber.they taste great,and are fun challenge to hunt.
When i see "Tree surgeon" written i have to laugh!! ... a gardener with a chainsaw!!. When i was fitting swimming pools my mate used to tell people we were "Aquatic Technicians" LMAO!!
You can thank Lockstin for telling us that the UK has a Gray squirrel issue where it is turned into a national conservation effort to save their Red Squirrels. Man, Game freak did their nutty homework with Skwovet and Greedent design and inspiration to make me see this channel just now.
And this time of year how many Tawny Owls did they kill on the nest. I have seen Tawny chicks in a drey mid January. And the ignorance of the general licence is astounding, try to pick it out what was said. It amuses me some of the ignorance spoken on this channel & its no wonder dick heads like Packham has the last laugh. With clowns like this about Packham & the like will be raking it, well done.
Great show again guys.It would be good to see the conservation efforts done by the hunting community instead of the negative press the wider public are shown.I am still surprised by what is going on with the police and the licensing problem/debacle.Hopefully it will get sorted out but it might need some political influence to highlight the problem.All the best ,carry on with the good work from Australia.
I've been waiting a year and 10 months for my shotgun licence in dorset. its ridiculous, just wish there was someway that I could push my application through so that I can enjoy shooting with friends.
IMO Grey Squirrel is one of the finest game/pest meats you can eat. Slow-cooked Grey Squirrel and Chorizo Stew Preparation • Prep Time: 5 minutes • Cook time: 5 hours • Serves: 2 people Ingredients • 2 whole squirrels • vegetable oil • 200g chorizo • 2 cloves of garlic • 250g butter beans • 250g chopped tomatoes • ½ red onion • 100ml water • 2 tbsp crushed chilli seeds • 1 tsp of smoked paprika • Salt and pepper to season
Instructions 1. Preheat the oven to 100ºC 2. Cut up the squirrel into five pieces. Heat plenty of vegetable oil in a frying pan and add the squirrel to brown off for no more than 1 minute 3. Remove from the pan and allow to rest. 4. Roughly chop the onion and slice the chorizo in to small pieces and add to the frying pan and saute for 5 minutes. 5. Transfer the squirrel, onion and chorizo into a suitable oven proof dish, and add the chopped tomatoes, water, smoked paprika and garlic, and put into the oven. 6. Cook for four hours, remove from the oven and add the butter beans and chilli. Return to the oven for another hour. 7. Serve with some crispy warm bread and butter.
It's a real shame the attitude toward eating squirrels, they really are as great to eat as they are fun to hunt. One day it'll be trendy to eat greys in Eng/Wales mark my words
Re the squirrel article it's a little sensationalist and blinkered IMO. Just admit you want a bit of fun and to save some grain and shoot them. But in a mature woodland squirrels don't do anything significant to the trees, with no red squirrels being introduced in that woodland there's no benefit to eliminating them under the pretence of helping the reds, and whilst they do take v v few songbirds and eggs- there are much easier sources of food and it's v rare.
Wouldn’t want any of these guys anywhere near my shoot. Shooting into dreys without poking them first. You can’t tell the shape using only a thermal. Lots of birds take over old dreys. This is the worst advert for field sports I’ve ever seen.
Hi Guys, Cos i cannot find and email address i thought i would try here: Do you know about a fund raiser for the Gamekeepers Welfare Trust called "A walk with Shaun" being carried out by a Scottish Deer Manager. Any chance you promote it on the next episode....Please
Squirrels taste great. Squirrel fajitas is a favourite 👍
Little owls often found in squirrel drays, why dray poles should be used rather than just blasting them , the keeper should have known that !

Thank you, Tony. Cheers, Charlie

Got to be a bit careful as Tawny Owls will nest on top of old dreys - shot a few accidentally 😬
drey poking poles are preferable.

@Petrov Zinkweed yes and that's why I stated he was vegan. Reading is tricky.
LOL as you might say.
More Venison into the NHS, Clarissa would have liked to hear that.

Great video team. I've been waiting 6 months so far for a license in Norfolk and still counting!!! Keep up the excellent content.
Put 40 multi-catch traps out yesterday. Never ending!
No wonder why the countryside is under so good managment with good fellows like this around.

14 months I’ve been waiting in South Wales and when I asked for an update I was told I no choice but to wait or withdraw my application

Surprised there isnt a overzelous vegan commenting on this. Its a miracle😂
A little bit over kill for squirrels with shot guns. Tree will also suffer from shot. Why not air guns single shot single squirrel
Since when do deer eat insects/birds?
I have a squirrel hunting feeder please would you have a look at it to see if you would be interested in purchasing it?
Hi please find a photo attachment
its are wrigh to bare arms where do you people come from spinless people figh for what is your wrigh
Stupid hunting word again! Will be wearing orange hats and waistcoats before long
Hi Guys,
Cos i cannot find and email address i thought i would try here:
Do you know about a fund raiser for the Gamekeepers Welfare Trust called "A walk with Shaun" being carried out by a Scottish Deer Manager.
Any chance you promote it on the next episode....Please
Please can you ping me details? charlie@fieldsportschannel.tv
