Paul223 Posted February 7, 2018 Report Share Posted February 7, 2018 Nice to see the GWCT doing good, scientific based work. https://www.gwct.org.uk/blogs/news/2018/february/natural-resources-wales-–-proposals-for-shooting-–-gwct-response/?utm_source=All+Contacts&utm_campaign=2e8d0cbc9b-Mem-NL-060218&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_dd843c5cb6-2e8d0cbc9b-27473087&goal=0_dd843c5cb6-2e8d0cbc9b-27473087&mc_cid=2e8d0cbc9b&mc_eid=d96d26ece2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul223 Posted February 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2018 Definitely the way forward, I joined the GWCT last year, very happy with the work they do, the magazine has various reports which all make interesting reading, all science backed.

scotslad Posted February 7, 2018 Report Share Posted February 7, 2018 The GWCT have been doing this for decades, if it wasn't for them the relevant org's would have NO real info to defend shooting with. In my opinion anyone who shoots released game/game or just conservationists should really be a member, do far more good the useless rspb has done in recent times With gwct ur chosen org is useless. Some of the studies they do are really quite interesting too. The historical work they've done don at Allerton over the decades is really good (starting from a farm turning it into a successful wild bird shoot, then stopping to show the decline due to no keepering (ruling out the typical habitat change BS) and then done some feeding/keepering and measured all the changes) I really hope the GWCT get involved with both Langholm and Ilkely moor and document the decline in bird species, atleast then some good will come out of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
