Fieldsports Britain – hide and sika

It’s all about difficult deer and easy pheasants this week. Helen Tinner is in the Scottish borders after a sika stag. With guide Nathan Whitehead, they put in the hours to get close to an animal in forestry. Dave ‘the Dog’ Templar steps up to describe gundog training for a field trial, and how he gets a spaniel pitch perfect for flushing and retrieving. And Deborah Hadfield investigates the RSPB, which has stepped up its hate speech against gamekeepers. We are giving away Hoddy’s dog food priced at £140, David is on the news stump, and James Marchington has the best hunting videos on YouTube in Hunting YouTube. It’s all in this week’s #FieldsportsBritain

Fantastic as always from the field sports team, I love how we in the field sports community go to great lengths to showcase what we do and produce collaborating evidence to back it up, unlike our friend the animal rights extremists who just post random nonsense on public forums or pretend to multiple people it bid for attention, clearly deranged and I would say a danger to the public, I'm sure if some of them had a sociological evaluation they would be sectioned.

That is unbelievable with the sika| The heart and both lungs taken out but it still manages to go a 100 yards! One very hardy animal!

[CORVIDHUNTER]

Wareham, Dorset.
It is over-run with Sika, you could make this episode any day you wish.

Only problem is National Trust has been given control of much of this acreage - and they are NOW led by people who don't actually understand it - they are just Idealists

The RSPB is the only organisation that doesnt seem to know that the Latin names for birds are written with the first word starting with a capital letter, and the second word a lower case letter. This is traditionally used everywhere, except by the RSPB for some strange reason

[colinjohnston]

I'd prefer to see sika, muntjac and CWD gone from our landscape but sadly, it won't happen.
The RSPB's lies beggar belief. We could equally say that every osprey the RSPB ring will be thrown from its nest and "murdered". Why? Because the RSPB's ringing team did that before in Scotland, killing a chick. No one prosecuted, of course. But, surely, in the interest of consistency, everyone involved in the RSPB is guilty, they interfere with nests and chicks plus murder raptors.

[Doncorleone]

The skin of sika is so tough and the hair so wiry that maybe contributes to them running as far when shot

[wqskhan]

I don't expect such comments from a Khan. Hunting is our tradition and a source of good meat to consume. You should be more focused about preserving the habitats of these animals and control the use of insecticides which are the main cause of population decline.

Domestic cats kill far more birds in the UK than are shot. They choose common birds, they don’t choose specific species, they are indescriminate.

Why then don’t the RSPB pursue cat owners? Maybe because they form a significant proportion of their revenue stream - that’s why.

They pursue people who shoot because they’re an easy target (pun intended) - nobody likes people that shoot animals do they, they may feed themselves and others but we get our meat in the supermarket - there’s no killing involved there surely …

These big charities have become corporations whose existence is not to protect animals or whatever, they are here to provide income to their top executives and influence politicians to perpetuate their existence.

How they carry ‘Royal’ in their titles bewilders me - they are biased, massive propaganda machines and should not get Royal approval for that.

Rant over.

must be fair bad trying to get the public to to eat wild meat with no luck that you have to turn it into dog food🤔

U r "interfering " with nature for your own selfish ends ....🙂
