Bigger and better…

Whenever I go to get a gun out of the cabinet at home, I pass the head of the first roebuck I ever shot. It wasn’t a particularly impressive beast but when I finally caught up with it, there was no doubt in my young sixteen-year-old mind that it was the greatest sporting feat anyone had ever achieved. It always saddens me slightly that salmon landed, duck flighted or deer stalked in later life are never quite as glorious as your first. Every once in a while when I pass that head, I remind myself that I keep saying I’m going to do a bit more stalking. After all, the stalking opportunities around me in south-west Scotland are far too good to only be getting out four or five times…

BAILOUT FUND FOR SCOTTISH FIELDSPORTS

If you have a news story, email ollie.harvey@futurenet.com Fieldsports businesses affected by the COVID-19 pandemic have benefited from a £1million Scottish Country Sports Tourism Restart Fund. The fund, which was jointly developed by the Scottish government, VisitScotland, BASC and the Scottish Country Sports Tourism Group (SCSTG), was set up to assist country-sports tourism businesses, including sporting agencies, land-based sporting businesses, sporting guides and fishing charter operators, which have been hit hard by Covid restrictions and shutdowns. ShootingUK spoke to Charlie Brownlow, who specialises in running shooting, fishing and stalking trips to Scotland. He said: “It is a great relief that this fund has been made available to businesses like mine and all credit to BASC, SCSTG, VisitScotland and the Scottish government for putting this together to support rural business. “It…

NI POLICE ‘PAUSE’ POLICY OF LICENSING RIFLE MAGS

The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) has ‘paused’ the implementation of a policy that would have forced firearms owners in Northern Ireland to apply for a variation at a cost of £30 every time they wanted to buy a rifle magazine. The insistence on having each magazine licensed came about from a change in how the force implemented the Firearms (Northern Ireland) Order 2004. Following a meeting with representatives from SACS, BASC Northern Ireland and Country Sports Ireland, the PSNI announced that it will not insist on variations for each magazine purchased while it works out how to take the matter forward. Ronan Gorman, chief executive of Country Sports Ireland, said: “Country Sports Ireland, other representative organisations, and local politicians met with the PSNI to raise concerns about the…

SHOOTCERT SET TO HELP FAC APPLICANTS

A new initiative called ShootCert is helping shooters get their firearms certificates. For a £50 fee, an independent doctor will scrutinise the applicant’s medical notes and then provide the relevant medical forms required by the police firearms department to help get certification. The founder of ShootCert, Dr Chris Garrett, said: “Since 2016, anybody renewing their shotgun or firearms certificate has required verification or medical input from their GP in their application to the police firearms department. “Recently, the BMA has withdrawn from that agreement, meaning that GPs now have no compulsion to provide any medical proforma. The police forces, however, increasingly demand it. “Unfortunately, an ever-increasing number of GPs, for any of a variety of reasons, are refusing to help and will not provide this medical form or otherwise charge…

GIVE THE DEER A BREAK French hunters have refused to continue shooting deer despite a season extension. Hunters in the Haut-Rhin department have said they will not take advantage of the season extension, arguing that even though quotas have not been met the deer population needs a break. Gilles Kaszuk, the president of the hunters federation, told online newspaper Connexion: “The animals have suffered enough this year, with exceptionally high temperatures in the summer, more snow than usual and floods, and we think they need to be left in peace for now.” TRADE IN BREXIT TURMOIL Seven out of 10 UK gun trade businesses have reported difficulties trading since Brexit, according to an exclusive Gun Trade News and Gun Trade Association joint survey. The survey, which includes responses from major…

For more details, visit: thekingsginger.com STAR LETTER HELP THEM HELP US Dear Sporting Rifle, As someone who is involved in a small way with fundraising for the GWCT in Scotland, I was interested to read Alasdair Mitchell’s comments about the charity needing funds (in Shooting Times). I am always amazed by two things: first, how generous some people are; and, secondly, how little people understand about the importance of GWCT work. I suppose, too, I am sad at how many people who are involved in our sport, who know what is involved in the conservation of the environment and the management of the countryside, and know what it takes…

The man who stares at goats

Galloway is famous for its goats. Some of the old herds have been living wild since the days of Robert the Bruce and, while they can’t be classified as truly native, it’s hard to ignore centuries of freedom and independence. It’s not uncommon to find goats on the loneliest hilltops during the summer months and I’m often cheered by the jolly sound of their bleating in steep, desolate mountain places between Newton Stewart and Carsphairn. The Galloway Hills have some excellent place names to describe steep cliffs and treacherous mountain passes. When I was a teenager, I found an immaculately preserved billy goat’s skeleton in a lonely spot called Nick o’ the Dungeon. Ignoring the horrible smell, I pulled off the skull and brought it home on my back. After…

The buck stops here

Iwas out for an early morning prowl that May morning. My planned route was to take me from the public road deep into the ground, which comprised arable fields, grass paddocks, two spinneys and a wood. By our Suffolk standards the high ground was almost a hill and the low could be called a valley. It was, and is, good roe ground and I had high hopes of an encounter with a young buck in the course of my morning walk. So from the outset I was proceeding with caution, rifle loaded, sticks at the ready and my binoculars in frequent use as I swept the foreground. Although the cultivated land was sticky, I was able to walk along a grass margin partially concealed by a thick hedge on my…

The buck stops here

Return of the buck

Many people ask what species makes for a really enjoyable hunt. There are so many that could top the list but one of the best has to be hunting roebucks in the spring and early summer. It’s the time of the year when every part of the countryside is full of life and it’s a pleasure being out there and among it all. The reason why relates to when I was a young lad, first heading out with my father for roebucks in the spring, which is where my deer stalking passion began. Being invited back to Wiltshire with my good friend Mark Bellamy and his son, to try for the old buck that had been seen the previous year, there was no hesitation; it was roebucks and it was…

Return of the buck

We were still in lockdown during the early part of May 2020 and whilst things were starting to start to ease south of the border, here in Scotland there was no change. We had hoped that we might be able to recommence training and taking some clients out by mid-May but it was not to be. This was particularly frustrating as there were good bucks appearing all over the place, so I needed to redress the balance and I had had guys booked to come for more than a year. However, the enforced downtime did allow me get the scope on the Haenel Jagersport in 6.5 Creedmoor fitted, set up and zeroed in. Regular readers will know I am a fan of the 6.5x55 ‘Swedish’, as it is commonly referred…

Forgotten work?

If I remember correctly, there were hardly any tracking dogs in the UK a dozen years ago. There were perhaps some present, the typical varieties like Hanoverian and Bavarian tracking dogs. But the way to work with them was little understood, and thus they were a rare sight in the hunting world. Thanks to the efforts of some people, who have been committed to the work for many years, it became clear that there was a need for clear, accurate information concerning working with a tracking dog. Subsequent training courses were a success and have been repeated because of that. Even now, after all these years, you can search YouTube and find ‘tracking work’ that barely qualifies as tracking. But there are some groups that make every effort to introduce…

Forgotten work?

Hound decisions

Up to about 15 years ago, the thought of using a tracking dog for deer, let alone having an organisation concerned with such things, was unthinkable in the UK. A possible reason for this was strict import rules for dogs. They had to remain in quarantine for a long time – and let’s not mention the accompanying paperwork – which could have put prospective deer dog owners off acquiring a suitable breed. Today, it is different. It seems that more and more people are at it. I’ve browsed shooting forums to find all sorts of intense and even out-of-control conversations arising on the subject of deer tracking, many of which peter out into nothing after a while. Meanwhile, groups or associations are formed, all of which devise their own philosophy…

Monster muntjac

March saw another small flurry of heads submitted to be measured. Included among them were J Allan’s Sussex sika and D Irvine’s roebuck from Perthshire, which were both awarded silver medals. However, the one that really grabs the eye is the monster platinum-medal muntjac, which was found dead by an anonymous stalker in Hampshire. Measuring 78 points, it really is an impressive specimen and the pictures don’t do justice to how remarkable this head is. Making it all the more special is the fact that this is the largest muntjac we have measured from Hampshire. Looking back through the records, there are several instances of seriously large deer being found dead, be it from old age or road collisions, which is an interesting thought. As always, huge thanks to all…

The final Conquest

It’s good to see premium makers not only continue to push costs in their higher-end optics but also to remember shooters who want reliable and quality core functionality but are not chasing the latest high magnification erector tube or complex turrets with zero stops. The V4 range from Zeiss is just such an optic and, as well as the above, holds a few key features that help it appeal to more than just centrefire users – so let us address those first. Parallax compensation on the Conquest runs from infinity all the way down to 10 metres, which means the scope will focus – as well as present fault-free aiming – at closer ‘core distances’ for rimfire and airguns, the latter guns regularly approaching prices beyond common sporting centrefire rifles.…

The final Conquest

Hunting with the Haenel

Some time ago, I reviewed the Haenel Jaeger in .243 Win. I enjoyed the rifle and was keen to try to take it on a hunting outing. Unfortunately, time curtailed those efforts and I didn’t get the chance to take any deer using that Haenel. However, I managed to secure a Jaeger Pro Varmint .308 Win for an extended period, giving me plenty of chances to get this rifle properly into the field. I have some Lapua 150gn Mega ammunition, and the rifle is topped with a Meopta MeoStar 2.5-15x56 illuminated. Up front, a Brügger & Thomet moderator tames the noise and a little of the recoil. After booking on to my stalking lands north of the border for the weekend, I had a few days to get the rifle…

Going long range

When I first saw the details of the new Swarovski dS scope I couldn’t wait to get my grubby little mitts on one. Designed to simplify long-range shooting, it was immediately of great interest to me. In a nutshell, this scope takes all the guesswork out of long range by ranging the target. It also takes into account all the environmental conditions that will affect the shot and, at the touch of a button, almost instantly gives you an accurate aiming solution. Combine this with the typical high-quality glass and craftsmanship associated with a name like Swarovski and you know you’re on to a winning combination. As expected, this scope oozed quality as soon as I saw it and I was pleased to see that despite all the clever gadgetry…

Going long range

It’s amazing how quickly things change in the shooting world, and nowhere can this be seen more than in the night-shooting environment. Twenty years ago most night shooters were still using lamps, and the thought of shooting without artificial light was still in its very early stages. Today, of course, for many the lamp is fast becoming a thing of the past where actual shooting is concerned, though it will always have a place, particularly when costs dictate what one can afford. The lamp has been, and will continue to be, an option for many as there is no doubt that in the right hands and with knowledge of fieldcraft it does the job perfectly well. Then along came night vision. Not only was this an efficient method of shooting…

Watch and learn

Earlier this year we had done a pretty good job of clearing up all the foxes on the farm and had no surviving litters on our own ground. With the aid of a thermal spotter you can be confident that you aren’t overlooking any local residents. But nature abhors a vacuum, and that state of affairs was never going to last long. The crops have grown, offering plenty of cover, and this year’s neighbouring cubs with the odd adult are starting to wander farther afield. Inevitably, foxes would begin to creep in over the boundary. It’s not just the foxes – we’ve had other destructive little predators showing up on the place, too. Often foxers look on the pre-harvest time as a holiday season and hope for a bumper number…

Watch and learn

There was a time, many years ago, that practically all the farmers in my area kept sheep in varying numbers, though it was in fact a predominately dairy region – now things have changed, however. Dairy has all but disappeared and sheep farming has been taken over by a small number of farmers who still keep relatively large numbers for this part of the country. In the old days, most lambing was carried out in the spring and in the open. This, like so many farming methods, has changed and, generally, lambing takes place a little later and is generally carried out indoors. This helps to prevent fox attacks, but where young lambs are about in numbers and the ‘by products’ of the birthing process are there for the taking,…

Lambing season survival

With the lambing season well under way, fox shooters up and down the country will no doubt be out as much as possible keeping fox numbers under control in a bid to minimise losses. With cubs being born, the parents will be put under pressure to provide food not just for themselves but for their growing young too, and this is likely to be when lamb losses peak. Foxes will be drawn into the lambing areas by smell and any afterbirth left in the fields. Once the foxes begin to hang around the flock, they will be quick to take advantage of a lamb separated from its mother. As twins are common, the first-born lamb is particularly vulnerable while its mother gives birth to its sibling, and unless the ewes…

More than meats the eye

Daniel shook his head in disbelief. “You’d hunt all year for maybe three deer?” I was discussing with my son what it was like for me hunting in the 1970s and 1980s. It was the height of the commercial venison recovery industry in New Zealand and red deer had all but disappeared from the rural landscape. Swarms of helicopters – mainly the ubiquitous Hughes 500 – buzzed the mountains and bush clearings, first shooting and later capturing deer. They were ruthlessly efficient. Unfazed, mates and I regularly hunted alpine basins, foothills and forests across the breadth of the upper South Island, getting excited if we saw fresh deer prints. We were young, fit and adventurous but only averaged three deer each for our efforts – in a good year. Chamois…

The famous four

Whether it was a sign from some higher power or pure coincidence that sent the rainstorm into the Burkina bush exactly where we were due to hunt I have no idea. That said, it seemed more than a little peculiar that the rain hit us the night before we were going hunting for sing-sing waterbuck; the one type of waterbuck that Jens Kjaer Knudsen is missing to close his grand slam on the four huntable waterbuck species on the Safari Club International (SCI) list. Memorably the fun started as we – after only a quarter of an hour’s drive from the camp – got stuck in clogged mud. The red soil, typical of the region, had turned into a greasy syrup and the only way to get the car free…

Conservation triumph

Beyond Zimbabwe’s current overall media image of doom and gloom, there is a shining light in the country’s sustainable wildlife utilisation field and it goes by the name of the Bubye Valley Conservancy (BVC). It’s a success story that certainly wouldn’t be were it not for paying sport hunters – for therein lies the secret to the vast project’s accomplishments. Significant in its achievements has been the establishment of large and flourishing populations of black rhino, elephant and African lion. This 3,740sq/km land mass (in excess of 900,000 acres) is situated in what is termed Zimbabwe’s southern lowveld region, one of the country’s hottest and driest areas. Summer temperatures regularly exceed 40?C (104?F) and the average recorded rainfall over 45 years is 347mm (13.6in). Unsuited to agricultural practices or ecotourism,…

It follows, therefore, that this is the final Almanac. My first article for the magazine appeared back in its early days in 2006 and the first Almanac appeared the following year. Looking back at some of those early issues, it’s quite remarkable just how things have changed in our shooting world – some for the better, some for the worse. Certainly, such items as night vision, virtually unheard of then, have transformed the shooting scene and, also, our knowledge of the quarry species.

The last ivory hunter

Idistinctly remember when I first read of the last ivory hunter, Wally Johnson. I turned the first pages of a book on his life somewhere on the south side of New Delhi in the heart of the financial district. It became a longedfor ritual to pore over the text while travelling to and from work. To this day it remains one of my favourite books on hunting in Africa. The life of Wally Johnson is undoubtedly one of the most varied and fascinating you will read of any of the great hunters to bequest great stories from the Dark Continent. Yet, for all that, he is probably one of the least well known. In fact, had it not been for the extensive interviews recorded by Peter Capstick, his stories may…
