  Horner's How To Hold 'Em Episode

  Sep 23, 20261h 5m

  Jamie Horner is back, fresh off one of his best starts to a season at Iford in eleven years, and this time he's joined by Clare, ForFarmers' new leisure coordinator. They dig into how this year's drought shaped rearing and cover crops, why feed diversity (not just protein on a bag) is what actually holds birds, and the small changes making a big difference to plumage and flight. The conversation widens out into game feed pricing, deer management, and a frank chat about how shooting needs to be more open, better organised and louder about the conservation work it already funds.

  Bag Sizes, Booking Behaviour & The Truth About Shoot Profits

  Sep 10, 202644 min

  In this episode, Digby talks through what this year's Game Shooting Census reveals: a season finally settling into stability after years of post-Covid and bird flu turbulence, and bird prices moving roughly in line with inflation. How big is the average bag size, and why does it come as a surprise to almost everyone? Are guns or shoots moving faster on the switch to non-toxic shot? And why are guns booking their days later than ever? We also cover the conservation work shoots fund entirely themselves with zero public money, the reality that only a handful of shoots ever turn a profit, and what shoots can actually do to encourage guns to book earlier and keep their days financially viable.

  How to Hold Onto Your Birds and All Things Keepering - Part 2

  Aug 27, 202634 min

  Professional gamekeeper Rob Barnard runs two estates and shares the reality behind the job on his YouTube channel, A Gamekeeper's Diary. In part two of this two part series, Rob talks about swapping his Shooting Times column for YouTube, the nerves of putting himself on camera, and how he deals with online trolls and hate comments. We also cover predator control as ecosystem management rather than eradication, the biggest misconception about gamekeeping, juggling the job with a young family, and why he'd never swap the title "gamekeeper" for anything else.
