Nothing glamorous about this: Paul is doing his rounds with his rifle, looking for cull deer. On this ground in Gloucestershire, he might see muntjac, roe deer and fallow deer. In the end, he gets close to a muntjac and unleashes his special call to bring it closer. Meanwhile, the general election puts all shooting sports into the political sphere. Charlie Jacoby sets out to find out what the new Conservative government has in store for pigeon shooting with the general licences, hunting routes overseas and in the UK, and even Foxhunting. David brings you the News Stump, Charlie has Hunting YouTube and there’s a new competition to win Zeiss binoculars, all in this week’s #FieldsportsBritain
