Here’s why holidaymaking deerstalkers should shoulder the deer cull in the UK. Just as the Scottish government plans to hire professional deer shooters, Tim Pilbeam and Niall Rowantree point out that there’s a huge, free resource available to the Scottish taxpayer: hunting tourism. Tim is the tourist and Niall the professional deer manager who briefs him and lets him loose, in this case after red hinds. On the shotgun front, top shot Ben Husthwaite explains the incoming chandelle. Last week, it was the going-away version. His technique for this one is completely different. There’s News and Hunting YouTube to round up this week’s #FieldsportsBritain.
