jok 3,014 Posted February 9, 2021 Report Share Posted February 9, 2021 Well, I just had my communique from one of the big auction houses and low and behold, the entire belongings of a Derbyshire pheasant shoot up for grabs. I don’t suppose it’s the first and certainly won’t be the last. The auction list is comprehensive and it’s plain to see that it was a fairly biggish shoot. I’m trying for a few bits but not related to shooting. Jok. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

South hams hunter 8,803 Posted February 9, 2021 Report Share Posted February 9, 2021 think it'll be the same down here, had a look about the other day because the girls wanted to see some and struggled to find any even on the big estates Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Greyman 24,903 Posted February 9, 2021 Report Share Posted February 9, 2021 One of my walks is a 1000 acre woodland that used to be shot over by the Avon and Somerset constabulary, all the pens and feeders etc are just rotting away were they were left, think it would not be considered morally prudent in this woke world for hour police to be seen as normal instead of tree hugging lefties, but on the flip side never seen so many wild pheasant nests and poults about as in the last few years Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DIDO.1 20,573 Posted February 9, 2021 Report Share Posted February 9, 2021 'by appointment of liquidator' Proper gone bust then hasn't it. Now I've been a keeper, am friends with many keepers and spend my life defending all countrysports... ....but....it ain't a bad thing if the shooting world gets its wings clipped over the next few years. Hopefully they will realise what sport and countryside are really about and may start working with other countrysports.... ....i can but dream.... 9 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
