Are hunting and shooting popular? They certainly are, if Fieldsports Channel’s tenth birthday is anything to go by. We round up 10 years of filming, thousands of films and – at the last count – 7.5 million viewers on YouTube. We talk to the guys involved, Roy, Ti, Crow and the rest Aaron makes a silly animation about this history of Fieldsports Channel. We get a shout-out from the Hunting YouTubers AND from Vinnie Jones, we look to the future and our voice in the debate about Countrysports – and how you can help – and we even raise a glass to those who have helped but are no longer with us. There’s even time for David to mount the News Stump and tell us the latest controversies about grouse shooting. It’s all in this week’s #FieldsportsBritain.
