Ao he may eind us up about grouse and pheasant shooting but he can sometimes point his attention to bigger world issues. but the thing is ,,he cant get his thick head around that if there was no hunting ...fishing ...shooting...............there would be precious little for him to look at............as this country values its wildlife and has managed the landscape for it to excist............. I used to shoot the Henham estate....and when the Aussi Earl sold out to Latitude...we went for a look see around the place............it was a wildlife desert....just full of magpies.............the change was totally mind numbing in just one year............where as before it was a wildlife haven ...i remember shooting on of the oak woods...and before the pheasants came thro a biiiggg herd of reds came thro the shooting line , and we all have to hide behind the oaks so we didnt get gored to death...............the song birds were a joy to see and listen to.......................all that is gone now......

oldypigeonpopper Posted January 29, 2019 Report Share Posted January 29, 2019 hello, did you see his report on the New forest ?????? he has a point on to many animals grazing but what some subsidies given to commoners, that might change after Brexit but Natural England could be much more responsible in their management Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gents, there is a means for nominating someone for a gong. It would be good if we can nominate some genuine conservationists in an attempt to redress balance, following Packham receiving a gong for services to, er….Packham.

Pwobably got his family to nominate him He should've been sacked from the BBC for using the transmition for his own ends The BBC is meant to be dipomatic and not meant to be one sided for them that's in the limelight to use it to their own ends At the end of the day it is the public license payers that feather his own nest with massive wages and contracts And he can'nt even speak pwoper Qweens English He could'nt even do the weather forecast " It's going to wain tonight and turn to fwost in morning with more wain tomowwow" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
