Shooting is the easy bit, compared to cooking, stuffing, and stalking wild boar. Tim Pilbeam is looking at all four at the home of French hunting, the Sologne region south of Paris. French stalker JP Bourgneuf shows Tim why wild boar are such a rewarding animal to hunt. Meanwhile, Charlie is in Brussels to hear African nations plead with the European Parliament to let them get on with big game hunting. There’s News, there is Hunting YouTube and there is even time to try out a lofting pole to attract pigeons with Jaf Jefferson. It’s all in this week’s #FieldsportsBritain
