Stalking Success: Imogen's first deer
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 сер 2024
- Paul Childerley guides hunters, new, old, experienced and, in this case, practically vegetarian. Imogen has not only not shot a deer before, she doesn't even eat meat from anything other than fish. But she likes to know where her food comes from, and that's why she wants to try deerstalking. It gives her lean, healthy meat, that's drug and processing free.

Why shoot deer?
There are more than two million red, roe, fallow, sika, muntjac and Chinese water deer in Britain’s countryside and semi-urban areas, the highest level for 1,000 years. Numbers have doubled since 1999, according to the Deer Initiative, the UK government’s deer agency.
Deer are an attractive and an important part of our wildlife. However, they have no natural predator in the UK so numbers must be sensibly and strategically managed to keep them in balance with their habitat and to prevent damage to crops, trees, woodland flora, gardens and other wildlife.
Deer cause £4.5 million-worth (Forestry Commission Scotland) of damage to plantations and other commercial woodlands in Scotland. Crop damage is estimated at £4.3m a year according to DEFRA, with the greatest damage on cereal crops in east and south-west England.
More than 8,000 hectares (Parliamentary Office for Science and Technology) of woodland with SSI status is currently in ‘unfavourable’ or ‘recovering’ condition due to deer impacts such as browsing and fraying. Deer can also influence the variety of wildlife in woodlands and other habitats by altering structural and plant species diversity. According to the University of East Anglia’s Dr Paul Dolman, that has resulted in a 50% decline in woodland bird numbers where deer are present, impacting particularly on nightingales, blackcaps, chiffchaffs and warblers.
Deer are susceptible to Bovine TB and may be responsible for the transmission of TB to cattle. They are also the likely driver behind the UK’s increasing tick population (Scharlemann et al 2008).
Happily, venison is a delicious meat. It is wild, natural and free range, and - almost fat-free - it is one of the healthiest meats available today. Results from research commissioned by the Game-to-Eat campaign (Leatherhead Food International Research 2006) suggest that there are real health benefits to eating game. Venison is high in protein, low in saturated fatty acids and contains higher levels of iron than any other red meat.
Well done to the young lady. I was in the UK from Australia two years ago and wished I could have had such an experience with someone like Paul Childerley.
Well done, Imogen. I'm heading to South Africa next year for my 1st hunting experience. If I find myself uncomfortable killing the animal, I promised myself that I will stop eating red meat. The challenge is to find a sympathetic hunting farm, where I can be part of the whole experience of field dressing, skinning, and butchery. In SA hunting seems to be more about the drinks around the fire, and you only see the animal when you shoot it, and again when it's mounted or turned into biltong.
How does one get a job as Paul's gun bearer when he is doing a show and stalk episode?? Another great show Charlie keep up the good work.
Nice hunt ...Lovu zdar ...Viliam
More videos with this lady please 😘
Paul ever the gentleman even carried the dear 😆😆 nice shooting
22-250 is a bit light for the whitetail deer hear in The US, but those deer seem a lot smaller than ours so I can understand using such a light rifle
Nate Eller roe deers are pretty small, yeah
She is stunning
Great day out for her respect her for trying it,
First rifle looks like a 22 winmag
A 22 I thought you would use a bigger caliber, never mind that deer is very small
I am big fan of fieldsporsts (from the US) & I take my hat off to the young girl for doing this. But (& if you would explain). Are you not exploiting the girl & her looks? The instructor is giving seemingly ethical advice on how to pick & shoot an invasive species.
I hope not. We didn't have a queue of vegetarians and chose the prettiest or tweediest or the one from an ethnic minority. Imogen kindly put herself forward and we said yes. But you make a good point - and I am glad that the UA-cam audience is alive to the possibility of tokenism in a way that terrestrial/satellite TV audiences are not. / Charlie
Lol... "the girl and her looks"... get your mind out of your trousers... I was that engrossed in the content that I didn't even notice she was female. 😜
@@MKChase-uj9vx you didn't notice she was female! How absolutely fabulous your masculinity is. Dope!
@@pilsley4737 lol... how nice of you to notice my 'fabulous masculinity'... beast isn't it. 😁
What caliber is that rifle? Great video!
Guess I should have waited, the 22-250 is a great round but a little small for our big game in Montana. My brother-in-law uses one for whitetail deer but I like them for coyotes, prairie dogs and wolves, though I use a 220 Swift these days. Great video and I agree, the ladies get it done!
Kenneth Bailey Swift is smaller the 22-2250

I mean, .22-250 is great, but 6.5 Creedmoor is a better all-around round. If you want a flat shooting round, but also what to be able to kill larger game, 6.5 Creedmoor is the way to go. I use 5.56 for smaller-medium sized game, it's more available and I'm already familiar with it. Just last year I used my Aero Precision 6.5 Creedmoor on a Muskox hunt, worked flawlessly at around 600m.

Correction, .17 HMR
interesting
That will make some good eating.
They’re always better when they’re on the gain.
