In this week’s show, Tom Gosbell heads out to protect his young pheasants and ducks on his small farm shoot in Warwickshire, utilising the Pulsar range of thermal spotters and scopes to make the task as efficient as possible. Then, Jonathan McGee takes on Whitbourne Estate in Worcestershire, a traditional pheasant shoot with some wonderful steep valleys and rolling hills.
Finally, Mark Ripley takes the FX Impact M3 out for a bit of squirrel hunting action. In a wood packed with squirrels, Mark quickly finds a few of the grey pests to test his new set-up.
