Welcome to Fieldsports Britain Extra.
The other half of the programme has Dominic Holtam, as you can see in the sky beside me,
swanning up and down the country in a Ferrari looking for deer, grouse and salmon.
If you are watching this on Youtube you can click on that and you can go and see what
he is up to.
Well, in this skeleton version of Fieldsports Britain coming up we have Hunting Youtube,
but first it is David on the Fieldsports Channel News Stump.

This is Fieldsports Britain News.
The Countryside Alliance is celebrating November with Game to Eat Month.
Its campaign is encouraging pubs, restaurants and local butchers to use local game with
a set of Game-to-Eat recipe booklets which features game recipes from top chefs.
Some 60 restaurants are taking part with an estimated foodie audience of more than 150,000
covers in November.
Meanwhile, November is also Vegan Month and this year animal rights loony organisation
Animal Aid is challenging people from all over the UK to go vegan for the whole 30 days.
So far, the Great Vegan Challenge 2012 has attracted just 400 people.
We will be covering a Game-to-Eat event in next week's show.
We won't bother with the Great Vegan Challenge.
Shoots are tightening their belts and are looking at ways of increasing profitability.
That's the conclusion of research by rural surveyor Smiths Gore and GunsonPeg.com.
They have discovered that shoots have been cutting back while increasing charges per
bird.
Smiths Gore and GunsOnPegs surveyed 152 shoots, reflecting 2,700 days shooting and 1.2 million
pheasants and partridges released.
Nobody is getting a straight answer from WHSmith.
The national newsagent chain banned the sale of shooting magazines to under-14s with a
‘till prompt' to check the age of its customers.
However, BASC is receiving reports from people visiting WHSmith stores that till prompts
have been dropped.
BASC is seeking clarification on whether till prompts have been dropped across all WHSmith
stores nationally.
Until clarification has been received BASC urges people to visit WHSmith stores to find
out more and report back.
Pick up a copy of this month's Sporting Shooter to see the article version of our Ferrari
Macnab.
Americans may be rushing out and buying guns now that Obama is back in but last week they
were reeling from Hurricane Sandy.
American wildlife is used to superstorms, however.
Here is one from last year that produced this event in Washington State.
Salmon are crossing a flooded road, which provides an ideal though unusual retrieving
opportunity.
Staying with fish, from the ridiculous to the sublime.
A boat out of Carns, Australia, has caught what skipper Captain Dani [Danny] reckons
is the biggest black marlin ever to be satellite tagged on Opal Ridge on the Great Barrier
Reef.
It weighs around 1,200lb.
And finally, this other example of extreme fishing comes from the Robson Green TV series
Extreme Fishing.
You are now up to date with Fieldsports Britain News.
Stalking the stories.
Fishing for facts.
Thank you David.
Now let's expand your horizons a little.
It is Hunting Youtube.
This is Hunting YouTube, which aims to show the best hunting, shooting and fishing videos
that YouTube has to offer.
LaCombar's Black Bear hunting video in Canada makes you jump.
Unusually, the camera is next to the animal, so it's a shock when the shot goes off.
It's another gripping video by LeatherwoodOutdoors. 2012 Youth Crossbow Deer Hunt Buck Kill shows
Charles Boozer taking his nephew Corben out to try and kill his first ever whitetail deer
with a crossbow in Clarion county, Pennsylvania.
As the kid Corben says - 'I think I smoked him".
Yee-haa.
WanderingGibbon sends us his film Hunting and gathering in the modern age.
It shows him walking down pathways picking and eating stuff from the hedgerow, including
pigeons.
Maybe it's an anthem for modern consumerism, maybe WanderingGibbon is sectionable.
You decide.
We are indebted to JonathanTomlinson of UK tackle genius Sportfish for this film.
Uncharted Waters - Bassas Da India (Official Trailer) shows a group of six friends who
land their 46 ft catamaran on a remote underwater volcano in the heart of the Mozambique channel
that has 150 shipwrecks, countless pieces of treasure and Jurassic-sized fish.
Armed with every fly and lure that ever stripped or glinted, it might be a trailer but it is
Raiders of the Lost Angling.
So what would you do with all those fish?
Step forward Scott Rea from jolly old Britain whose cookery channel posts the ultimate,
hot, mackerel sandwich.
How to cook a hot mackerel sandwich, with lettuce and tartar sauce - fresh tasting,
he promises.
A viewer called Simon sends us this video of long range magpie control.
The first magpie is 430 yards and Simon explains how, through good maths, he can adjust the
scope so he can shoot it with a .17HMR.
Good shooting.
Now it's over to Ireland for Vermin Control- Shooting Crows & Pigeons, which shows highlights
from a day decoying.
Finally, a good idea sent in by a German viewer, Benedikt Büker.
Sponsored by the German shooting equipment shop Kettner, the film shows a fox or badger
trap which uses a mousetrap as trigger.
The animal just has to pull on the bait, that is attached to the mousetrap by a string.
And - the really clever bit - When the trap is sprung, the trap sends a text message to
your mobile phone.
As Benedikt says: "When it comes to trapping foxes, we have some more interesting trap
designs here in Germany".
OK Benedikt, don't get cocky.
You can click on any of these films to watch them.

it in via YouTube, or email me the link charlie@fieldsportschannel.tv
Well if you enjoy shooting you will love the Shooting Show.
This week, the programme follows Sporting Rifle contributor and stalking guide Andy
Malcolm as he tries to find a young client a stag in Scotland.
The estate they are on has a selective cull policy, however, and with rough weather and
a tight deadline, Andy is aware that he might end the day empty handed.
Then Sporting Rifle's Byron Pace head back to the glens to deal with a roe deer that
is causing a farmer some problems.
Byron also reviews the Apex Predator from Napier of London.
