Roy Lupton has invented a 40-mile-an-hour remote control lure to teach granny goshawk and her friends the golden eagles how to take partridges
Is the Raider 10 the best value Multi-Shot PCP in Europe? - the answer is still yes!

Falconry is all about fitness. If your bird hasnt been pumping its wings on the run up to the season you might as well have a budgie on your glove. Roy is a little behind with his training because of his recent hip operation so, to speed things along a bit, he has created the fastest lure in the west. It is capable of dragging bits of muntjac impersonating a hare and even a roe deer hide at up to 45mph across a wet field.
The Raider 10 is Webleys most tried and trusted multi-shot PCP, having sold in its thousands over the last 6 years. Rugged and reliable, during development it was cycled over 5,000 times -without a single miss-feed!

Roy shows us round. What we have done is we have fitted an engine, a clutch and a big drum on a machine down there, he says. We have got a servo on there which is attached to the throttle. So now we have got a remote control lure machine. So we can run a lure up to 45 miles an hour over about 500 metres in very quick succession and really start to get some fitness into the birds. This is the first year we have bothered to fly the goshawks on the lures and the results we are getting so far are phenomenal. Roys truck is bursting with eagle and hawk boxes. In total there are six birds that need exercising in preparation for hunting. Hes about to head up to Scotland for the blue hares. Once Ian has given his youngster an outing Roy brings out the old girl. Shes so old and wise she remembers Roy before he became

Eagle handler: Roy gives his golden eagles a fly excels at being flown from the fist whereas Roys other eagle hunts in a different way soaring high then dropping on to his quarry. He is fifth or sixth season. We have been hunting together since he was about 20 weeks old, when I went over to Austria and started our hunting career over there and I have been hunting him successfully over here, says Roy. He is a superb eagle especially for off the fist work. My other eagle my main eagle Cappie I am only using him for working in the mountains for way too long, so when I try and fly him off the fist at brown hares, he is not so good. But this eagle for off the fist acceleration is just absolutely phenomenal. Losing the light, Cappy gets the last run of the evening. The birds are race fit and were looking forward to seeing all Roys hard work pay off in the field. <

News Stump
Lead poisoning
Gundog winner
The International Gundog League Retriever Championship 2012 which, is sponsored by Skinners, just like this news bulletin, has been won by a dog fed on Skinners Field & Trial Crunchy. Dave Lathams Field Trial Champion Delfleet Neon of Fendawood, better known as Del, took the championship held at Cawdor Castle in Scotland. Bred by Mr S Crisp, Del and Dave had previously won it in 2010 at Sandringham.
Rat eradication
It is a bad time to be a rat in South Georgia. The trial phase in 2011 was the largest rodent eradication ever attempted and succeeded in removing rats from a tenth of the infested areas. The second phase of the project will see a 25-strong team of scientists, helicopter pilots, chefs and engineers dubbed Team Rat embark on a four-month mission to eradicate the brown rat from the South Atlantic island. They are dropping 270 tonnes of poisoned bait from three helicopters.
Botswana is to ban big-game hunting from 2014. The south African country is one of the most popular destinations for plainsgame and dangerous game hunters, attracting people including the King of Spain. Ignoring protests from communities who depend on hunting for their livelihoods, the Government says that a ban on hunting will help in the fight against poaching. Wildlife conservationists point to other African countries such as Kenya, where hunting is banned, and poaching is driving many of its most of its iconic species, such as lions and rhinos, into extinction.
Welsh TV channel S4C has come under fire from the Welsh Government for its coverage of the badger culling in its flagship soap opera. Welsh politicians dodged a cull, deciding instead on a vaccination programme. In the BBC-made TV series, Pobol y Cwm, a cash-strapped farmers wife shoots her TB-infected cows and then says the government doesnt have the backbone to sort the problem out and that farmers are not afraid to break the law. Hurt by the criticism, the Welsh government tried to get the repeat of the programme withdrawn.

And it inspired us to have a look at who else is topping the charts with big global audiences. If you are watching this on Youtube you can see a full list with links below the screen. You can also see the list by going to this address www.fieldsportschannel.tv/biggest-huntingshootingfishingyoutube-channels. I am pleased to report that Fieldsports Channel is the biggest hunting/shooting/fishing channel outside the USA, and we are 15th in the world. So thank you for watching.
Caravan blast
Country Pursuits TV have been having a smashing time with a caravan and it is all in aid of charity. The film was done to raise money for 13 year old Holly Warren who needs 7,000 for a special wheel chair. This of course is not something you should try at home and the filming and shooting were supervised by four marshalls. Visit www.youtube.com/watch?v=0cvCBiCr6Gg
Killer Queen
And finally, Brian May has come out in favour of deer-culling. Sort of. Following the story in the Sunday Times from a tip off by C Jacoby, that Brian May allowed deer to be shot on his land in Dorset, the animal rights activist and national treasure says: There is not a trace of hypocrisy in standing by the necessary and controlled killing of deer while opposing the badger cull. Brian is apparently now looking at birth control to keep the number of deer at a manageable level.
Filming Andy Crow everything is passing just yards in front of the hide. The cousins have been shooting together for more than 30 years and they have a system. Gary calls the shots so they shoot in unison. This means the birds dont flare. When there is a quiet moment, the crows look tempting but Andy will not be distracted and stays with the programme. Theres plenty of time for him to get into the Crow zone later in the week. Over the course of the day theres a regular stream of pigeons and by the end of it the boys account for 189 pigeons, three crows and two jackdaws. He gives in to tempation after all. <
The excitement of finally seeing the desired object. The certainty of taking secure aim even in the deepest twilight. This is the moment we work for.

just plain bread. The second half is going to be mixed with some blackberries and other berries too. Blackberry bread, I quite like. It is a nice one to finish off a meal, especially washed down with a bit of sloe gin. Once properly kneaded, you leave it to expanded (with its selfraisingness). Now this is the bit where I add the blackberries to one of the dough balls. You can place them neatly or slap them on or just see what ever you feel like doing. I fold them inside the dough. I put the two dough balls on top of billy can lids and then into the oven. This is a metal dustbin, laid on its side, with fire underneath it. It is hard to say how long you leave the bread. I go back and check it every 30 minutes or so and then when it looks ready I take it out. But you shouldnt have too many sneaky peeks just beforehand, because that can take all of the heat out of the oven and you will be starting from scratch again. Tap it. It should sound hollow and mine does. Yup that is just about right. <
