- Black - in the shape of crows - is casting its shadow over a Devon dairy farm. Pest controller Tom Davies is ready to take them on in a pre-dawn decoying raid. Meanwhile some gamekeepers and shoot operators are worried about the effect covid is having on bookings for next season's gameshooting. David Whitby, James Davies Cooke and Jason Mayhew talk about their experiences and what they could mean for shooting. And elephants - are there too many of them? News editor Ben O'Rourke talks to South African professional hunter and True Green Alliance founder Ron Thompson, Herman Els of South Africa's National Hunting & Shooting Association, and Pieter Nel of Southern African Wildlife College. We're giving away a £200 trailcam, we have an exclusive offer on Vario hearing protection, David leads on grouseshooting news on the News Stump, and Charlie brings out the best hunting and shooting videos from TH-cam in Hunting TH-cam, including one with him in it. It's all in this week's #FieldsportsBritain

Spot on. Brilliant piece on elephants in Africa. A lot of people don’t want to hear the difficult truth.
Great contents on this week's videos and great footage, thanks to the team, thumbs up for all the videos and greetings from New Zealand.
Thanks Tony
With the rat retirement there is a opening for Mr packman. He could at last be useful
Great show again. Keep up the good work. Thanks.
Awesome as always thanks for all your hard work and awesome vids
Excellent show this week Charlie. Especially the South African story. My 2021/22 shoot season is booked and payed for, can't wait.
Thanks to all the team. Great as usual
Part of the problem with elephants is that their migration routes have been closed. Many moons ago there was a program to translocate elephants from the Kruger Park to areas where they were scarce. Now bear in mind the state of most of Africas' roads, only two elephant per truck at an average speed of 20kph, that means they are in the truck for days, they have to be fed and watered and often sedated. It cost mega bucks to transport one family group 500k, where is that money to come from? Forget the "charities" little if any of the donations arrive where it's needed, most goes on "admin", advertisements, and the rest into somebodys' back pocket. To maintain diversity they have to be culled.
I have been shown the remains of trees after elephants used them for food and scratching posts.
Then I was shown a stand of African Ebony and told that elephants still avoid them because they still associate them with the humans who used to live there (about 90 years ago).
However, you are probably more aware of the general changes.
Love this channel. They share so much information and present news not seen elsewhere.
Hello Charlie, I have totally agreed with this, most people just do not understand at all.
So, save the elephant at the cost of all the other wildlife and farmers in the area ? How blinkered can you get ?
Great set of articles as always
Very good report on elephants and the need for a proper valance ,disappointing some of the faces found here .
Why does Packham need to get involved, he wasn't even born in the countryside!
Elephants will find it difficult to cross a sharp sided deep moad, I think.
Are there not traces of such defending areas in Northern Nigeria? They would have been created before any visitors arrived from Europe.
Just to clarify. The judge’s analogy was that in the same way a Swiss Army knife is a multifunction utility device so too are AR-15 pattern rifles multipurpose utility tools.
Superb show! Can this go out on the bbc as the real Countryfile?
I’ve shot just under a 1000 in two months on two dairy farms since the first week of may where you have maize clamps you will always have crows I normally flight them into a clamp or sitty tree you’ll often shoot more in summer then winter
@Pete graham netting doesn’t work even if a clamp is covered they will still come in for other feeds or peck the heavier green sheets until there’s a hole in them or feed from the feed in the feed passages this time of year they spend most of there time picking young maize plants out the field after they’ve had an easy meal at first light
As an ‘uneducated’ dairy farmer I would still like to reassure Pete Graham that nets and bird scorers just do not work. We are inundated with crows and after 2 years of avoiding shooting because of the noise my village neighbours have decided enough is enough. The banal comment of ‘lust for death’ is offensive and inaccurate. People should refrain from making comments on subjects they know so little about.
@@tombramall2578 used bird nets all winter last year and bird scarers which don’t work after a week there’s a lot more to managing corvid problems on dairy farms shooting is a continues job especially at this time of year at the moment there hammering maize ground and still consistently plaguing both farms I shoot on of which I’ve worked on both
@Pete graham Ah, Mr Graham! I see you and your bad grammar have returned to troll the latest episode of Fieldsports Britain. Couldn’t resist, eh?
Funny how "educated" people offer "solutions" without real world experience.
Their solutions offer short term success at best but almost always long term decimation of what they intend to protect.
They decry hunting as immoral because they say so. Many like hunting. It is enjoyable. There is nothing wrong with enjoying your sport. Antis hate you and hate that you enjoy hunting but they wreck wildlife and livestock at every opportunity.
Great show as always. The vegan anti’s marching outside the Cannabis store pretty well sums up their mindset😂.
Another great show. A bloody good eye opener for all those do gooders and anti trophy hunters out, they should actually go over to Africa and see what is really happening.
Love this
Dropping from the sky like council covid inspectors
The Packham petition was started 2 years ago.
Stop the TV license
keep those killing videos coming they are great for my students, the slow mo shots are the best ,
Charlie, will the book for Boris be available for purchase- could be an extra bonus for the field sports nation?
Yes it will 🙂
where is the link for the hunting you tube clips???
Hi Robert - it's in the description and you should see an on-screen link, too. / Charlie
Thanks Charlie,
Found it, unfortunately I am using an old tiny screen steam powered tablet. Loving the show and keep up the good work👍
Sadly, what’s going on in Krueger National Park is indicative of what happens when hunting is banned.
Yip and the MP will be able to claim it as expenses but the rest of us just have to pay
If Packham had cared as much about animals as he cares about money and fame he would have achieved good things done that would have helped people and rural lands,now its just a poor acted show just done to " keep up the chirade" .
First a moan. Sorry. Tom Davis miss-hit a lot of those crows. Either get a bit more sleep Tom, get a bit closer or use heavier shot. It does not look good to antis or shooters seeing shot crows falling still alive. Gamekeepers are 'country custodians' and 'shoots' provide them with the practical workplace to protect the wider countryside, from vandals and vermin, that destroy the wider flora and fauna. It is a necessary business and pragmatically it must earn its keep. The only present viable solution is game shooting. This activity provides an edible by product, while gaining the wider benefits of wildlife and habitat protection. Money provided by game shooters pays the wages of these 'country custodians". Game keepers are not simply armchair conservationists, but dedicated and sincere working folk. We need these committed individuals and the commercial shoots that empower them to benefit the ecology and the economy of our country. Their input is vital at this difficult time in history.
Where are Roy and Andy crow lately! .
Farming and rearing raptors - back soon. / Charlie
Celebs jumping on the 'band wagon' without doing any research just to be 'COOL' oh my how disappointing!
#SACKPACKHAM
I've seen recent commercials regarding Africa's elephants becoming extinct. The lies continue.
you can kill a midge but not an elephant.. whats the difference?
The midges are here!
Rooks mate not fucking crows ,
Thanks for this. These were crows + one rook. / Charlie
Look I see what you shot are crows, but the big flocks are rooks that you're calling crows on farms !
