      I may not agree with it but different country, different rules.
      You could say the same thing for shooting over here. Standing there waiting for ducks to fly in where they feed.

      Well to be fair, it’s more sporting than whatever the do to dispatch supermarket chickens. They both are raised and end up being food so not much difference in the two. I wouldn’t pay to do it but it doesn’t bother me any. Not sure why they all have hunting gear on though

      I would not let it worry you the only difference is on some shoots in the UK the pheasants are shot much lower, and as for the duck in the UK 1000 gets put down and flies around until they shoot the bag. ‘Game shooting” 😂

    Don't lose sight of the fact the level of outrage is actually a positive here. It demonstrates that hunters in the UK operate to a higher ethical standard. I don't think this plays into the hands of the antis. I think it shows the antis the majority of UK hunters have higher ethical standards and a moral compass and are not the bloodthirsty, trigger happy nutters they like to portray us to be. I am glad it was shown and even more pleased at the reaction it has provoked. I doubt there would be the appetite for it to happen here in the uk.

    • @seemoore
      @seemoore Місяць тому

      Why do we always seek approval from antis, you'll never get it, they hate us.Judging others harshly does not make us better. The birds were killed closely, cleanly and retrieved quickly. From a sporting point of view it didn't seem to offer much challenge or sport but apart from that I can't see anything wrong with what they do if you accept that Pheasants are bred to sport shoot and kill. Killing cleanly is surely the biggest priority.

    Was going to comment but then thought ill get slated, but im glad to see that all the other fellow hunters have some decency and sense aswell. This kind of shooting is not hunting, its not driven game, its just wrong on whatever level you want to place it. Quite sad this channel has decided to even show it tbh, this is about the only thing I would ever get on board with banning.

      @@GavinM161I’m not trying to say what’s right or wrong and be the judge and jury. You cannot if you have any ethics at all think this is an ok way to shoot game. It’s a certain death for the animal, where is the sport. Guns are licensed for sport, game/animal or ranges/clays. Tell me where this kind of shooting comes into those brackets. It’s not sporting, it’s not anything except a certain death for the bird and certain fixed result for the shooters.
      It’s wrong on every level sorry and field sports posting this kind of crap to UK audience that no doubt Anti’s follow is nothing but a field day for them

    Wow, £400 for a license!! That’s the price of some people’s gun! Should have seen it coming from labour. Where will the tax funds come from once people start handing in their licenses because they can’t afford to possess one anymore? - that includes clothing, ammunition, scopes, guns, and much much more on equipment. You would have thought labour would learn from their many many mistakes. I see that their “growth” isn’t quite going to plan.

    The hand release is commonly how it is done in Canada. Being an ex game keeper from the UK from many years ago before I came here, I was appalled. The return rates on pheasants are high... maybe 65% which is not possible with pen release. The closest to this here is walked up over pointers, all up the arse shooting, again I am not overly keen. The birds are not what I woukd consider "quality" targets, lacking height, lacking speed, lacking explosive flush.

    I can't believe what I'm seeing here, and so soon after the goose shooting fiasco. I've been onboard since the very start with this channel and always looked forward to watching every Friday night, and I'm a shareholder but I'm seriously considering tuning out after this disgrace. Sickening! Definitely wont be liking this video. A sad end to the year.

    What a terrible shoot in Slovakia: more like a sim day, but with pegs very close together and live birds instead of clays, with little chance of their survival. Aside form the highly questionable ethics, I am amazed that guns would pay for such poor "sport".
