Roy of the roebucks

- Roy Lupton is taking time out from breeding his falcons to shoot a roebuck for the freezer. He’s sporting a lustrous new goatee beard - which he can’t shave off or his birds won’t recognise him, and it will upset their breeding. He spots one, but doesn’t get set up in time, then another. Things aren’t going to plan, but can Roy make the most of his last chance of the day?

Why shoot deer?
There are reportedly more than two million red, roe, fallow, sika, muntjac and Chinese water deer in Britain’s countryside and semi-urban areas, the highest level for 1,000 years. Numbers have doubled since 1999, according to the Deer Initiative, the UK government’s deer agency.
Deer are an attractive and an important part of our wildlife. However, they have no natural predator in the UK so numbers must be sensibly and strategically managed to keep them in balance with their habitat and to prevent damage to crops, trees, woodland flora, gardens and other wildlife.
Deer cause £4.5 million-worth (Forestry Commission Scotland) of damage to plantations and other commercial woodlands in Scotland. Crop damage is estimated at £4.3m a year according to DEFRA, with the greatest damage on cereal crops in east and south-west England.
More than 8,000 hectares (Parliamentary Office for Science and Technology) of woodland with SSI status is currently in ‘unfavourable’ or ‘recovering’ condition due to deer impacts such as browsing and fraying. Deer can also influence the variety of wildlife in woodlands and other habitats by altering structural and plant species diversity. According to the University of East Anglia’s Dr Paul Dolman, that has resulted in a 50% decline in woodland bird numbers where deer are present, impacting particularly on nightingales, blackcaps, chiffchaffs and warblers.
Deer are susceptible to Bovine TB and may be responsible for the transmission of TB to cattle. They are also the likely driver behind the UK’s increasing tick population (Scharlemann et al 2008).
Happily, venison is a delicious meat. It is wild, natural and free range, and - almost fat-free - it is one of the healthiest meats available today. Results from research commissioned by the Game-to-Eat campaign (Leatherhead Food International Research 2006) suggest that there are real health benefits to eating game. Venison is high in protein, low in saturated fatty acids and contains higher levels of iron than any other red meat.
I have Kevin Bloody Wilson’s song in my head “ old roy the rooter”
Great hunting trip and good result and very nice footage, thanks and greetings to all from NZ,, Tony.
Thank you, Tony.
I haven't seen it before '' Another Great Video 💯 Many Thanks guys 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥
nice to see you roy
Looks like some Beautiful Countryside to Hunt over Lucky Chap!
Always good to see proper conservation that is truthful and honest .
@Jarvislorry. why do you follow a hunting conservation channel if you have a disdain for hunting and conservation? You know if hunters don't thin the herd, the govt will step in and do it , once the population gets to be too much for the landscape to handle. I would rather hunters fork over their own money and time to do the job, than let the gov't waste taxpayer money doing the same thing.
@Jarvislorry. i had to look up Chris Packham as i was unfamiliar with his work. Sounds like a treehugger. But to each their own.
@Jarvislorry. agreed
@Jarvislorry.Hey, would you care to share your view in more detail? I presume it's the hunting and killing you oppose?
For what it's worth, I agree with your comment on Chris Packham - I often struggle with the truly unsavoury comments you get from a certain Reform supporting rounded ageing males in the shooting world.
While yes - I do shoot and I do kill.
I come from a family of vegans, my dad was heavily involved with wildlife conservation as he was an ecologist, and I am a qualified and accredited ecologist myself though I no longer work as one.
So while I think we will disagree - I'm keen to understand your view properly as hunting with guns is something I've taken quite a lot of time to debate morally with myself.
I understand hunting.But to laugh and celebrate taking a life.Discusting.Its this type of people,that fuel the fire of anti hunting groupes.I understand and it makes me angry.Cowards that can only shoot when others not shooting back at them.
another OLD VID put back on yet again
Thanks for this. Sorry it looks like we upload twice. We do a weekly show of all our films every Wednesday, then we upload them separately. / Charlie
