Welsh Pheasants in the Sun

American hunter here: keep your hunting traditions and formalities alive and well as long as possible. Over here the pendulum has swung so far towards “comfort” above all else, that we’ve lost some of the time honored traditions that make up a quality, respectful sporting and sportsman’s life. Once the hunting traditions are gone, people won’t strive to bring them back. There’s Something about hunting alongside people in camo hoodies (jumpers) and jeans, that reduces the feeling of doing something special. Americans love their sporting past, but few seem to remember it through resurrecting traditions and formalities associated with the hunt. There is also something meaningful about formality and tradition that seems to keep people respectful; respectful of the quarry, of the sport, of the land, and of their fellow hunters.

This video is exactly why I watch your channel. I am an American Hunter, and I truly appreciate your English hunting traditions and values. I would argue respect for the game you're pursuing and appreciation for the friends you share those experiences with is an equal part of hunting on both sides of the pond, just displayed in different ways. I will agree that the English do it with more refinement and class! Cheers to a great day in the field!

Regardless of species, 5:15 perfectly explains why "we" truly enjoy hunting/fishing/shooting sports.

I am a American hunter and I enjoy watching your way of hunting. Hunting here seems to change at a much faster pace than there and usually not for the better. Don’t know if you have ever hunted in the states but I would love to see you go dove hunting or turkey hunting here you would have a great time. I have watched y’all swap from side by sides to over/unders and worry that semi-autos will be next.

Life long bird hunter from the states and I love your traditions; the dress, 11’s, the sportsmanship. Our kin aren’t much for ties and we hunt behind bird dogs and really don’t have any driven hunts in the south. (I have been on pheasant hunts in our northwest that use drivers and blockers) We do shoot doves which is as close as we get to anything resembling a driven bird. We do have our own traditions and etiquette which I think is important to all hunting traditions. Keep up the good work!

Your reverence, and respect for the quarry is really refreshing. I have never seen the draw or point of the commercial several thousand bird day, ( not that I have ever been on one). Great video as always.

"It's the tits" OMG, my new favorite saying!!!!!

American here, and yes I Old as Dirt and love the memories of tradition. I love you shoots and yes I would be there with a tie on along with the rest. Thank You

Cracking job Sasha, sound + visuals were epic 😉👍

It nice to see people showing respect to your culture. Our culture in America is being taken away. I would absolutely keep yours as long as possible.

FANTASTIC episode! Thanks to you and Sash for putting in the work for the great content. The visuals tied in with commentary is spot on.

The like button won't do this one justice. Excellent video. Loved the duck shoot at the end.

Please keep these videos coming Jonny. Ex-Dorset land living in Aus. These videos keep me in touch with the wonderful traditions of my forefathers and I love it!! Thanks mate 👍🏾

What a fantastic video, it has everything, you are spot on on so many issues it is not all about killing things its far more than that it is the whole day and you have captured it perfectly and explained it eloquently, I do hope that anyone who is lucky enough to be invited on any formal days understands them

Lovely video Jonny and Sasha , a beautiful driven day.

The word on etiquette was greatly appreciated. If you have just one person not being a gentleman it tends to ruin the day for everyone.

Great vid! As for standing on a peg, that’s why old school game guns have a wide trigger guard, so it’s comfortable to have broken over your forearm!

To make Jonny miss a few clays, you just have to stick some feathers on it. Beautiful shoot guys.

I am envious of experiences but this was picture perfect. Beautiful ground. Very enjoyable to watch.

In my opinion one of your most exiting épisode 👍 Really an Amazing place both for territory and people 🙂 Arnaud-France
