Fieldsports Britain – ratty Roy

Roy has a rat problem – and he suffers from rattiness, too. He is out with David to control the rodents that are scavenging around his bird of prey aviaries. Meanwhile, Charlie is off to Ireland to find out what makes the best foxhound. It’s the Irish Masters of Foxhounds Association’s annual hound show at Stradbally Hall. Deborah investigates why DEFRA is so keen to alienate the countryside by banning gamebird release near European protected areas. And James Head from Crackshot looks at airgun pellets and whether your airgun ‘likes’ one pellet or another. We are giving away an ATN X-sight day/night scope priced at more than £600, David is on the news stump, and James Marchington has the best hunting videos on YouTube in Hunting YouTube. It’s all in this week’s #FieldsportsBritain
