Pigeon expert Andy Crow tries out dove shooting in Argentina. It’s massive. Millions – maybe hundreds of millions of birds throng Cordoba, feasting on crops of maize, sorghum and peanuts. Andy is in a prime position to shoot as many as he can. But how does this measure up to the humble English woodie? Crow makes his judgement. Plus we’re looking back on the 2019 ferreting season with the help of Jaf Jefferson from the South Somerset Ferreters. And we’re looking forward to the 2020 British pheasant shooting season. How many shoots will be able to go ahead? Jonny Crockett finds a couple of hedgerow plants you can add to your cooking, David is on the News Stump and Charlie has Hunting YouTube in this week’s episode of #FieldsportsBritain
