Georgie Tillson Shooting Manager www.sportquestholidays.com PHEASANT SHOOTING PHEASANT SHOOTING Driven Pheasant shooting days normally consist of 8 to 10 guns standing in a shooting line while birds are driven by teams of beaters and dogs to fly over the waiting guns. At Sportquest we pride ourselves on working with not only top English estates, but are currently working hard to bring you cost effective estates further afield, all packaged up with great accommodation, flights, transfers, basically the whole holiday. We can arrange the complete package, which just leaves you with a decision of how to get to the airport. The Pheasant is not native to Britain, but has a long history of residence here. There is some debate over the success of various possible introductions dating back to the Romans, but it is generally agreed that Pheasants were common by the 15th century. The Pheasant, although often to be thought of as a woodland bird really prefers agricultural land and woodland edges. In areas where woodlands are not common, shrubby wetlands provide suitable habitat. Despite its introduced status, the conservation of the Pheasant is important because of its long history of naturalisation and importance as a symbol of our traditional countryside. We offer some very high end Pheasant shooting in the most awe-inspiring estates in Europe where nothing is too much trouble and birds are a plenty. Magnificent and picturesque venues which encapsulate the whole shooting experience give the holiday a magical and luxurious touch.

  • Aim of the Game
    AIM OF THE GAME DRIVEN GAME SHOOTING IN BRITAIN TODAY Game shoots around England are in a unique position to help maintain a diverse countryside where shooting and conservation work hand in hand. Slowing the decline of farmland birds is a prime example of this. Well planned game cover strips, field margins and hedgerows can not only benefit game but also provide food and shelter for many other bird species such as the twite in the Pennines and the tree sparrow and corn bunting in lowland England. Projects in Cheshire, Dorset and Somerset, under the BASC’s ‘Green Shoots’ biodiversity programme, have shown how linking shoot management with landscape scale conservation initiatives can bring even greater benefits to wildlife under increasing pressure to adapt to climate change and other challenges. The game shooters’ intimate knowledge of ‘their patch’ can also lead to the discovery of previously unknown populations of rare or threatened species as recent new records in Cheshire of dormice, barn owls and water vole bear witness. These are just some of the examples of where we can deliver more for our biodiversity and landscape. So much can be gained when we harness our collective knowledge and passion for the countryside. Dr Helen Phillips Chief Executive, Natural England 25 March 2011 2 CONTENTS 4 What is game shooting? 5 Why shoot game birds? 6 What is game? INTRODUCTION 7 How a driven day’s shooting works 11 The team behind the scenes riven game shooting has become increasingly 12 Rearing and releasing birds popular in recent decades.

  • Calling the Shots Executive Summary
    CALLING THE SThe pHower aOnd prTivilegS e of the grouse-shooting elite www.animalaid.org.uk 2 Calling the Shots Executive Summary EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Most people have heard of the Glorious 12th – the day in August when the four- month long grouse shooting season starts on Britain’s moorlands. But they know little else about a ‘sport’ that is staged and undertaken by some of the wealthiest and most influential individuals in the land – bankers, government ministers, landowners, heads of industry and royalty. A single day of driven grouse shooting is likely to cost a group of eight or nine ‘guns’ between £20,000 and £40,000. Calling the Shots is aimed at alerting the public Such plans even permit burning on areas of critically to the truth about an activity that has so far enjoyed important, peat-rich blanket bog. a benign reputation, even though it is based on extensive wildlife and environmental destruction. Ecologist Dr Adrian Yallop suggests that, in terms of Burning is carried out to encourage the growth of fresh carbon storage, Britain’s peat moorlands perform the heather on which the grouse feed. Roads are dug and same function as Amazonian rainforests. 1 But instead car parks built for visiting guns.

European law, his research shows that gamekeepers And large quantities of poisonous leadshot are are burning it at an unprecedented rate to encourage discharged on to the ground from shotguns. the growth of new heather. 2 This burning leads to increased loss of carbon from blanket peats, 3 so that rather than ‘absorbing’ carbon dioxide, as they have Public subsidies over thousands of years, they are now releasing it.

    context: The roles and responsibilities of the minority leader are not well-defined . To a large extent , the functions of the minority leader are defined by tradition and custom . A minority leader from 1931 to 1939 , Representative Bertrand Snell , R-N.Y. , provided this " job description " : " He is spokesman for his party and enunciates its policies . He is required to be alert and vigilant in defense of the minority 's rights . It is his function and duty to criticize constructively the policies and programs of the majority , and to this end employ parliamentary tactics and give close attention to all proposed legislation . " question: What despcription was assigned to minority leader in part ? guessed answer: Bertrand Snell , R-N.Y. actual answer: He is spokesman for his party and enunciates its policies . context: The Earth of the early Archean ( 4,000 to 2,500 million years ago ) may have had a different tectonic style . During this time , the Earth 's crust cooled enough that rocks and continental plates beganto form . Some scientists think because the Earth was hotter , that plate tectonic activity was morevigorous than it is today , resulting in a much greater rate of recycling of crustal material . Thismay have prevented cratonisation and continent formation until the mantle cooled and convection slowed down . Others argue that the subcontinental lithospheric mantle is too buoyant to subduct and thatthe lack of Archean rocks is a function of erosion and subsequent tectonic events . question: What might have a very hot earth stopped from occurring ? guessed answer: cratonisation and continent formation actual answer: cratonisation and continent formation context: A variety of industries benefit from hunting and support hunting on economic grounds .
