hi guys welcome to tea outdoors and you're joining me here in a completely different woodland I'm in a deciduous woodland that's owned by my buddy George who you've seen on the show before you may notice I've got a gun in my hands and that's because I want to talk to you guys briefly about where the channels going and you know the kind of different videos that we're coming up with and that we're doing now we're not going in a complete shooting direction but we do have shooting videos on the channel those of you who are long-term subscribers was will have seen it we've done quite a few shooting videos in the past it's just lately it's been a hell of a lot of bushcraft which is nothing there's nothing bad about that that's really really good but this is just my new airgun really that I've been using quite a bit lately and I'm coming here to George's to us give me permission to come to this woodland and practice basically controlling vermin and you know practicing some bushcraft you may have noticed obviously that I'm not in my kind of bushcraft attire and that's because this is more of a recce trip where I've come to the woodland to have a look round and just scout out some areas for a new camp the gun itself here is a wolf of rotecks rm8 so 177 caliber it's very very accurate I've been shooting at the moment field targets at 30 35 40 yards scope on it is a the hawk one of the hawk Vantage scopes that's three to nine by 50 and really really good scope actually very easy to use the gun is quite heavy but that's not - I'm not too worried about that because most of the time I will either be lying down crouching down or using something as a natural support for the gun but personally for me it does fit into my shoulder quite comfortably and it's a great gun it's got a 230 cc body bottle at the front heel it's a pre-challenge pneumatic which is a PCP so basically you pump it up with air there's the pressure gauge just here pump it up there and you get a serious amount of shots out of it I mean I so far I've I've had 180 really really decent accurate shots before I have to top it up a little bit to get more accurate I do have a silencer on end of it here as well so the Spock on the gun itself is Italian its Minelli Beach stock lovely lovely finish to it and it's got some nice checkering for grit over here on the foregrip and here and when the trigger two-stage trigger and an eight-shot rotary magazine believe it's aluminium so it's it's a good sporting rifle really and it will certainly do the job when it comes to vermin and pests there is also a really nice thumb safety cat here which I really like so I could two-stage safety so you can't push it in you can't make it live fire until you push the second lever down just a nice extra safety mechanism for the gun so what I'm doing today really and why I'm in casual clothes is I've come here for a recce and I'm just taking a look at areas where I can maybe put up a hammock and like I say all build a small bushcraft camp but also just to take a look at the resources that are around here and available because you know there's completely different tree species to the ones that I'm used to over in my woodland and there's a really kind of traditional old English woodland and it's unmanaged completely unmanaged so there's so many trees here there's so much obviously dead full as well as I was walking on earlier actually picked up a rusty old tin can I found and we're now going to use that for target practice

where we go guys that's just that 30 yards been around really just it's been zeroed in 30 anyway what's quite good grouping but really it was just a test just testing out the gun and obviously enjoying a little woodland out here that George hats so hopefully you guys enjoy the videos coming up in the future there's still loads coming up at the bushcraft camp and we're still doing more to that bushcraft camp as well but I just thought I'd show you this new area that I've got here [Music]

[Music]

the moment of just following the game trails because I'm actually looking for a place where I might be able to be a little permanent camp probably not on the scale of my big bushcraft counselor certainly a nice fixed area that I can you know practice bushcraft in and maybe a little hide or something to shoot from but I'm no track of guys but I have found some deer prints here there's one here one going down here and it's going over this stream where I say stream is more of a ditch over here so there is a wall of water source here but I certainly won't be drinking from it at the moment because it's not flowing very much and it's getting quite warm this is really exciting guys so I just had a stroll around that would have enjoyed to show me it briefly before but I've never actually been this far in and there's so many game trails around this one just here to my left if you can see this so as you can see really the game of the game trail is is where animals found a natural kind of path through the woods and other animals follow that path and it tends to make it just wears it wears out and it you can see this here it goes all the way down through here winds winds around into the woodland and I've just found the entrance to where they come into the woodland where there's a fence up here was a barbed wire so there's obviously a natural game route here

well guys hopefully you enjoyed seeing that and having a look at the gun I got recently and also the really nice woodland that we've been at that wooden is owned by my buddy George here and you seen George in the videos at the bushcraft camp actually where we did some we cooked up a pheasant and it was really nice I wouldn't be can't read what we did with it we took deep fat fried it and perfect I remember yeah it was really good fun but I'm here at George's farm and really what I brought George and I'm here to talk to you guys about really is we're not just we're both of us are not just going out to shoot for just fun there is a point behind it and why we're doing more shooting videos on the channel and the main thing really is vermin so George is going to tell you a little bit now about what type of vermin that he gets here on the farm so as Mike said we've got several species of vermin on the farm the most common ones you sort of hear about probably rabbits pigeon rats Magpies crows damage some of these species due to the farmers is it can be quite severe particularly when you've got crops growing so we've got loaded beans going up are there and I can a load of crows out there digging up all the beans that have just been drilled into the ground pigeons obviously general pest they'll pick up cereal seeds sort of damage crops particularly sort of wheat or crud that down get enough of them on there and your rabbits rabbits again they can be very dangerous we got horses on the farm they can often have had it happen here and fortunately before they can they can dig holes in the field and horse to break its leg in it and they can also also sort of attack they will eat Soria crops as well when they've just saw poking through the soil so yeah it's a constant battle trying to keep on top of them really and it's great to have help from saw like Mike yeah who's now taking up an interest in getting in and helping us manage the countryside around us so George not only obviously are these vermin but actually what viewers don't understand is you cannot see eat some of these monument ever really tasty I know I've had a bit of rabbit for and it's very very tasty and there's so many different ways to cook it yeah that's fantastic I mean yeah we often cobble together a lot of stuff and make a game pie you know rabbit she Mike's really Lutz's great meat it's really lean and everything tastes like chicken but it does pigeon quite dark quite rich sort of gaming me it's quite quite tough to cook actually but yeah there's loads of loads of great stuff out there loads of great wild game so it's not wasted that's what we're trying to say real isn't it it's not wasted food yeah I know things obviously rats yeah but they are a general pest and they'd be damaged but most of the stuff you can actually eat yeah we try and everything we can eat we Willie and I know people will be watching the show who you know maybe not familiar with shooting everything but the aim for me and you know it's and for most shooters really it's not to go out there massacring things it's about conservation and management sustainable with you exactly you have a responsibility as a landowner or a tenant farmer to look after the land that your your you're looking after and part of that is managing the wildlife on it as well to some extent because we have created imbalances over years through being an invasive species and yeah I've been on the fishing industry as well yeah so yeah it's a responsibility that you have to sort of live up to your landowner now I know obviously George's giving me permission guys to do some more bushcraft he has some small areas of woodland around the farm which is really really kind of him and I can practice and bushcraft and hopefully see some overnighters at and with a bit like Georgia join me on there as well so we're going to do a bit of a mix up as well bringing the the kind of sheeting and bushcraft together now I'm not obviously coming to from a beginners sided point of view I'm not a experienced shooter George's but I've got my a gun and I'm trying to do things the right way and have public liability insurance had be all the right safety equipment and everything like that the guns that's keeping it all covered now what I've done is I've recently joined baiser which is the British air gun shooters Association I know they're basically like I put they can cover you for public liability insurance and there's all sorts of perks that you get and they're looking after you as an air gunner really and what they do is they give you these permission slips that you can just print out and obviously George's give me his permission then it's just a signature really from the landowner isn't it yep yeah we've got we've got a few public rights-of-way that cross through the land so it's important you know anyone could challenge Mike on his right to be shooting there and rightly so the landowners do not want to see people you know roaming into animals weather places but it could be animals and you know just shooting without permission because it's dangerous and obviously can cause damage to the livestock as well so Mike's completely gone about the right way he's gone I got permission if anyone challenges in while he's walking around the farm many of the walkers that you will find criss crossing across the sort of public rights-of-way then he's got permission slips they have the right to be here it's got a contact number so they can reach me on my dad to confirm that he's supposed to be there [Music]
