Fieldsports Britain - squirrel vandals
Vložit
- čas přidán 6. 09. 2024
- The squirrels have gone barking mad in Charlie’s dad’s wood. They have killed a dozen young oak trees by stripping off the bark. It looks like sheer vandalism. Charlie calls in Jaf Jefferson from the South Somerset Ferreters to solve the problem. While we’re on ferrets, Charlie is off to Chris Potter’s 16th annual ferret show, also in Somerset, to find out what makes a great ferret. Plus we visit an Essex game farm that is providing 250 pheasant poults for us to auction. James Marchington is back with Terry Doe, learning how to shoot better off sticks, David has the news on the news stump, and James brings you the best hunting videos on CZcams in Hunting CZcams. It’s all in this week’s #FieldsportsBritain

We’re proud to promote enjoyment of fieldsports and the countryside. There are three guiding principles to everything we do on Fieldsports Channel:
▶ Shoot responsibly
▶ Respect the quarry
▶ Ensure a humane, clean and quick kill
The territory battle is gonna happen regardless, as young squirrels will need to find their own. As for not eating the food that's probably cause there is an abundance of natural food that will be of more of interest to the squirrels at this time of year. Feeders work best in winter months when there isn't young birds, beach masts, acorns etc etc
There is a book called "Outwitting Squirrels" which I have read, about how to get squirrels from getting into bird feeders.
Great video and footage with great content Charlie and good to see your father fit and well, enjoyed the video, thanks, thumbs up and greetings from Kiwiland,, Tony.
Thank you, Tony. Hope you are well, too. / Charlie
Excellent information Charlie, and well done to your dad,, you are all doing a great job protecting birds trees and small ground animals 👍🤠
Intriducing Bear Grylls lesser known brother, Fox Grylls!😂
Hi Charlie.
I have both workers and pet ferrets. The pets are all angoras and free roam in the house. They don't really get on with the guys outside, but they share the play area on rotation and all of them have massive hutches with tubes and hammocks
I have been called in on a permission because of severe bark ringing/stripping in plantation oaks and beech...this was happening prior to my starting work. The permission totals almost 100 Hectares split into five areas. So far (year one) I have cleared 100 + at a ratio of 2 males to each female dispatched. ( I stalk mostly and only bait in the winter) next year will be the real proof whether it is just natural behaviour or dominance.
I’m 74 and I’m seeing Deer were I’ve never seen them before and I’ve lived in the same area all my life.
Deer used to be rare in Chicagoland, but they are far more common now. I've even seen deer conventions.
I believe that squirrels are drawn into an area by the absence of a dominant male - but I don't have an issue with that as it allows for more control. If you can't be there all the time, then trap and dispatch. On one permission I have the owner has noticed increase in the songbird population - unprompted they just said "there are more songbirds around".
The grey squirrel control is vital for the regeneration of deciduous woodland as identified on the BBC's Countryfile a few months ago.
Hello Charlie another great video and a good article on the game farm
Hi Charlie, would agree a vacuum draws them in. The biggest attraction is the glen behind the feeder, squirrel highway so why wouldn't they stop in a cracking wood. Like a motorway service station. I have a garden beside a glen/shuck I manage and live trap. Owner states only see's them in ones and two's but have trapped and dispatched nearly 20 in less than a year. They use the shuck from a nearby old disused railway through the garden, nab the fruit, eggs and veggies and scarper. The property acts like a cul de sac and the railway is the motorway.
Thanks for this. There is an old railway line at the top of the wood. I expect that gas an effect. Good point. / Charlie
How come Briton is the only country in the world that's made2 feel bad for hunting/shooting!?!? Where as every where else in the world hunting/shooting is part of there heritage!! And where ment2 feel bad ashamed!!!! Well bugger that I'm load and proud of my heritage!!!
Your dads a game old boy, hope Im as active and with it when I'm older.
Thank you Charlie. My squirrel feeder has arrived from Keith's High seats. It's great, fantastic quality.
That Carter Jonas balloon animation🤣🤣🤣🤣
Junior with mr senior.well done its good to keep us all informed
Charlie, your father is a really interesting man, would love to hear from him more on the channel especially about woodland management. 👍
Not all squirrel damage mostly young roe bucks. the squirrel normally chew under branches. A couple stripped most of the bark off a sycamore tree untill they got 'caught'!
Terry, get rid of those awful trigger sticks and treat yourself and your guests to some viper flex sticks 👍🏻
Fantastic
It’s sad that we have to make excuses to harvest a gray squirrel that’s 100% a roebuck doing that to the tree I from across the pond and have gray squirrels everywhere and never seen that before the same people complain and get all their meat from a grocery store, and just think it magically grows on trees but I enjoy the content cheers from across the pond
