The last few years have been a nightmare for game farmers, with covid, bird flu, and massive hikes in costs. Despite all that, keen shooters and Fieldsports Channel members James Elliott and Mark Rea plunged into game farming last year, setting up their own game farm at Mark’s parents’ farm in Essex. With support from others in the industry, they are doing well – and now they are offering 250 of their Bazanty pheasant poults to be auctioned to help support our work reporting the news and promoting fieldsports in the media.
