Fieldsports Britain – How the Dutch cope with general licences

As the UK general licences chaos continues, we go to the Netherlands to see how they shoot pest birds there. We join shooters Igor Timmermans and Bastian Maris on a morning after Canada, Egyptian, greylag and barnacle geese. It’s just across the water from the UK but completely different rules. Meanwhile, top shot Ben Husthwaite looks at gun mount and how to glue that stock to your shoulder, Charlie heads off with Andy Crow to Northern Ireland for a country show, there’s News and Hunting YouTube rounds off this week’s #FieldsportsBritain.
