So helpful I’m 19 and starting to get into hunting here in wales, always loved the attire and feel so out of place being one of the few young lads who wear a flat cap and all, can’t wait for lockdown to be over
Totally different hunting here in North America. I love your guys traditions to hunting. How bout a visit to your firearm collection? I would love to see that.
@@rustyshackleford17, very different indeed. Being from Tennessee, I spent most of my hunting in army surplus camo or jeans. Even in a "white collar" job, it's hard to get me in a shirt and tie. That being said, I appreciate the idea that how you dress communicates some amount of experience and/or thoughtfulness (i.e., good judgment) to fellow hunters and respect for the game animals.
I'm from Yorkshire so tend to wear a flat cap to prevent the birds being scared by my face. In other situations, I just put a bag on my head and try to get them drunk!
I love how you Brits get dressed up for your hunting. All our pheasant hunting over here is what you call "rough shooting". And in my area head high briars and thickets that would shred that getup in about 5 minutes lol. One day, I would love to come over and try out your driven birds.
An extremely good video. Really well put together and excellently explained. The guy in the video is a fantastic communicator and this video could be used as an example of how to put across information (on any subject), succinctly without wittering, and in a professional manner.
Nice video Ian. A small detail you have missed; you did not tackle eyewear but everything else is fantastic. I like to shoot with style as well. Make more of these videos they are awesome! Cheers!
Rupert what is all this s/s noncence things move on !..You will be telling us your daily drive is an Austin 7 or Morris bullnose next .get over it and shoot a 28 bore or 410 O/u
The magnet and picking up shells is a great idea. That will work in so many places , Trap or skeet field or the wooded places. Thanks for a well put together video. Couple of gorgeous double guns you own. Thanks.
Great video. You ask how others gear up for hunting. I live in northern Saskatchewan Canada and dress in the traditional 1940’s style when I hunt birds. I like wool and leather so that’s what I wear. Wool mackinaw jacket. Wool pants. Wool felt hat. SxS 12 gauge shotgun, which I keep in a waxed canvas and leather case when on the hunt. Milder weather I wear LL Bean rubber bottom leather top boots. I wear an LL Bean waxed canvas upland vest which has subtle flashes of blaze orange here and there. I carry shells in both pockets as well I have a Frost River waxed canvas and leather shell satchel. Weather dependant, a wool felt Aussie style hat or a wool Stormy Kromer.
Great video Perfect description of the equipment and sport. Keep up the good work. Having used a AYA detachable sidelock, I am happy to see a similar minded sportsperson.
It's a rural upper class pastime. Most Brits hate hunting and seem to think it's a barbaric hobby fit only for sadists. The same people also tend to hate vegans, oddly enough. I like to combine the two with a bit of skeet shooting, or vegan hunting as I sometimes call it.
Great videos and why I'm great full of you sharing your experiences with us, I would love to see a video on the old fashion working class lads, that don't have the luxuries that are on show on a lot of the videos. Cheers
I carry a first aid kit complete with ibuprofen or paracetemol,scissors and an antiseptic spray.A knife is essential,safety glasses,matches in watertight container just in case and those break tube lights,a good torch is useful at times.I`m well used to people coming over to me in they need anything but the most illuminating event was when I fell on a faulty duckboard(read pallet)and damaged my left hand tearing the skin and leaving nails hanging loose.I just opened my shooting bag and got to work,didn`t miss the drive that way.Also spare cap and socks for those exceptionally wet days.
I look like a savage when i am on a driven hunt for pheasant and hare. I usually wear surplus german army rain protection trousers with laced boots and gaiters a cartridge belt and a spray painted semi auto shotgun.
As a fellow SxS shooter (130+ y/o hammer gun) -- I also like gloves, but I like thin lamb leather, with silk lining. But I agree that leather gloves are essential. For shooting vest I use a Maud&Fox one (UK made) that is pretty sturdy. I don't wear ties (thick neck!) but Cravats work really really well with an open shirt I do recommend them as it used to be a problem for me to look 'tidy' without having to wear a shirt 2 sizes up just because of my neck! I shoot the same Imperial Game (mostly 30g #5's), and for most it's really great, but I feel rather outgunned on some quarry, like high/passing ducks. For boots I only wear wellies on /bad/ days. Otherwise you can find nice neoprene lined leather boots for little money these days, and if you grease (dubbin+toothbrush) them well, they'll stand up to almost as bad ground as wellies, while looking a lot better. For good/dry days, I wear high laced leather 'aviator style' boots. The one thing you don't mention is a cartridge belt... I used to find these awkward, but I practiced quite a bit off the peg, and now I find it a LOT quicker to reload than with a bag/pocket. You can also carry two types of cartridges (left side/right side). The idea of the belt takes practice; it needs to be LOOSE around the body so you can turn it as you pull a pair of shells. Also, it needs to be well greased so the cartridges come out easily; but once you get the knack of it, I can reload my non-ejector gun quicker than most people reload their fancy O/U.
Cracking video. I’ve recently got a sxs shotgun and you’ve mentioned before how it’s different to shooting an ou shotgun. Could you do a video on how it’s different as I think it would be helpful. Well, it would to me anyway. Thanks.
In northern Minnesota, jump shooting ruffed grouse and woodcock without a dog is as far removed from driven pheasant shoots as a half a continent and "the pond". I like my field grade LC Smith side lock 12 gauge with short barrels and wide open chokes for swinging in heavy brush where not many shots are taken further than 35 yards. On a Sunday I might wear a shirt and tie and a Carhartt zip vest with matching Carhartt double fronted pants. Rubber wellies for sure. Filson is my go to for shell vests and oiled cotton coats but I too, like a tweed jacket and hat to honor the sport. We are required to have a bit of blaze orange above the waist too and during fire arms deer season, you need a greater percentage of orange. A nice Boyt canvas and leather break down case, a good compass, safety glasses, and the grit to push yourself into the thickest cover where the ATV ground swat team never goes is important too. Thanks for the great video!
I have to say that British hunting traditions are impressive. The hunting clothing looks like what my Great grandfather wore to his hunting camp. He shot deer, not pheasants though.
I know it's a small thing, but I made my own shooting Stick with a magnet on the tip ferule. Much more streamlined than carrying additional magnets.. it has also has came in handy at times for other things too. A fellow gun once lost his glasses in a deep ditch, rather than ruining his good tweeds, I was able to simply use the magnetic stick to retrieve them. No-one had to get filthy and wet, and also saved his days shoot as your not much use when you can't see.
I love to get bladdered on scrumpy cider steadily thru out the day,I've found it helps my accuracy no end with the the lower birds cutting thru the line .Been shooting for 2yrs now really enjoying it ,but I'm finding it difficult to get on with the other guns hence no luck on the invite front yet !..Ah well you can't have it all ways and I've got plenty more cash to spend on it .Good video ,I'm going to buy some of that gear .
Thank you for posting this video. I'm going to go Pheasant hunting for the first time next week. Your video gave me some good pointers. I will not be dressing with the same class as you folks, in the UK. A plaid jacket, hiking pants and a pair of my old combat boots. All are standard attire, for hunting in Alberta, Canada. I do have a question about gun choice. I have a couple 12 gauge shotguns to choose from. A modern Remington 870 pump action with a modified choke and a 1930's Husqvarna SXS 12 gauge with external hammers and both barrels are full choke. Which one would you recommend?
If it were me, whichever one you have more experience shooting with and are accustomed to handling. I have a replica 1878 sxs that I've used for hunting, it was my first shotgun and I'm really good with it, but other people ive let shoot it cant hit the broad side of a barn with it, likewise I'll shoot their pump action or semi auto shotguns and I'm not very comfortable with how they operate yet their hitting 18 out of 20 clay pigeons when shooting skeet and trap so it all depends on you and what your most familiar with.
Ian - great video and it is nice to see someone recognising the traditions of the sport. Having risen from the ranks from beater, loader and now a reasonably good shot I think the traditions are so important. Recognising the effort other put in to make your day from the aged beater, young and new beaters, pickers up and the keeper staff. all deserve recognition. I tent to shoot 20b as I find the guns lighter, easier to swing but just as deadly as the 12b. A 26g no 7 load will kill most game stone dead if placed in the right place but for the higher birds - not that we get many in East Anglia - then a 28g number 5. Only one item I carry that you don't... a priest. I have some stag horn which was my fathers priest was he fished trout and this little chap kills most birds dead with one swift tap. Used to ring their necks but I find a priest more efficient. Heres hoping the 2018 season is a good one.
Here in the US, you just take your dog or no dog and whatever hunting clothes you can afford and go hunt. It's not supervised at all . I really love your clothes and dress it's awesome.
Dude very nice video but I like it when you hunt in the US you are more relax Your set up are seriously wicked can you do a wild boar hunt set up with the same gentleman's touch. Cheers and God bless
Do you find situations where wellies just don't cut it? The one time I recall wishing I'd have worn lace up boots was hunting with a syndicate in the Peak District. There was a good bit of walking and steep terrain. I don't remember asking this, are the girls fixed choke or M/C? If the former, what are they choked?
I use Musto Tech Tweed ( Carrick 3 piece with cap) - Leather gun case & cartridge bag - Peltor Ear Defenders - Telescopic Magnet pen with torch on the end to pick up cartridges -Moved to Aigle boots after 6 failed pairs of leather lined Le Chameau's Chasseur- Sealskinz gloves - Stockings and garters - Beretta Silver pigeon grade 5 - Always a posh formal shirt and tie - brown leather brogues - Fallow thumb stick to hold case & cartridge bag as well as coat if too warm - Now have to give the Port a miss as off the booze....lol....Wallet with cash for payment and tip...When I originally joined my shoot made up of mostly builders they uses to dress like builders however I have brought posh and tradition back to the team and now they are all dressing to impress.....
Hello Sir. I tried searching for the 'Ray Pavan' gun slip and the gun case, as mentioned by you in the video. I could not find them. Could you please tell me the company/brand of the gun slips and the gun case? Thank you sir.
Standing about while others drive pheasants toward you seems less engaging than following great gun dogs in the field as they enthusiastically find and point the quarry. But to each his own. I do agree with your choice of guns. I'm always more comfortable when my companions are also using doubles. When the action is open we can all see that and know that the gun is safe. To those who don't shoot SXS guns well, I'd say, learn. You'll be rewarded using guns that come up faster and go on target more quickly.
Scott Wasik I don’t shoot much grouse as the season doesn’t fall well for my hunting calendar. When I do, it’s an amazing day! You must be fast and have lightning reactions. It’s the absolute king of wingshooting!
This video makes me more glad and thankful to be an American hunter doing it the American way. I hunt alone wearing rough clothes. No one judges my clothes or my behaviour because there is no one else around.
Like he said though it's about the respect to the quarry, the beaters who work hard abehind the scenes and to fellow shooters. You wouldn't understand.
@@blank-dr2kx Yes, I do understand and completely agree. I am an American Anglophile. I even own an English style side by side with a straight stock. My mother came from England back in '46 and would say only bad things about it. From me you hear only good things. Were I a man of great means, I would like ride a train 3,000 miles across this continent and then board a passenger liner for England. One of the things that I would like to do there is to book a hunt like the gentleman in this video did. For the rest of the time I would like to visit historical sites that I have read about throughout mine adult life. I would like to visit Scotland and Ireland too and take in a performance by Karen Matheson. However, after that, I would want to come home and hunt my way again. I would keep and eat mine own birds after gutting, plucking and cooking them myself.
Kept saying "waterproof" and "breathable" for the same garment. IN my experience there a garment is either waterproof, breathable, and durable...Pick two...
A good video but gloves with a full finger were deemed dangerous due to the bulk and lack of feeling in and around the trigger, mittens do the same job without the bulk.
Hi Team Wild, although I realize that it's a gentile event with a mannered style of shooting, I am surprised that there is no mention or discussion of a medical or trauma kit - even if it remains on / in the nearest quad bike or vehicle etc. I imagine the number of accidents are very low but are British game keepers trained in the latest modes of first aid / trauma care?
Yes,all shoots are by law issued with a humane killer bolt gun ,thereby enabling the head keeper to put the traumatised individual out of his misery in a painless and legal manner in the case of an accident .A very useful tool indeed.
Folder knives..Folder knives !..we each have a man to do those menial tasks for us ! ...one doesn't want blood and guts all over one's hands and equipment .
Good stuff , I note your Gumboots ( Wellies) are put away muddy . Bacteria in animal poo and the nitrates in pee can destroy your boots in no time ,( leather ones as well) also I wouldn't want to be the one who has carried an animal , or plant , disease from one farm to another , even weed seeds carried in mud can be a problem , so please clean and disinfect after each shoot and make your boots last longer .
I wonder with the regulations, if this style of dress would work here in the Pacific Northwest. I always wanted to look like a sophisticated gentleman whilst hunting upland game birds.
You brits are dam stylish. Us yanks are more practical, never wore a suit and tie to hunt, you boy's are quite funny. I guess us Americans are a little rough around the edges.
What a proper Gentleman! I love the addition of the Zippo heater and the electronic hearing protection! Great video
Such an elegance to all of your equipment.
So helpful I’m 19 and starting to get into hunting here in wales, always loved the attire and feel so out of place being one of the few young lads who wear a flat cap and all, can’t wait for lockdown to be over
Don't worry mate, you'll find alot of young chaps that wear flat caps when you start shooting 😉
Totally different hunting here in North America. I love your guys traditions to hunting. How bout a visit to your firearm collection? I would love to see that.
Blayne MacPherson Great idea! We’ll be making a video on my favourite guns in the coming months 😃👍
I can't wait, that is going to be a fantastic video. Keep your powder dry. Thank you for the great videos.
Hillbilly Walmart culture vs rich person culture. Strange seeing how opposite they are of eachother.

There are many hunting resorts in the USA that offer true English style driven hunts. Joshua Creek Ranch in Texas is one I've been to.
I love the UK Attire it looks great also did anyone else see he even had a werewolf mounted on his wall

Keep up the good work.
Having used a AYA detachable sidelock, I am happy to see a similar minded sportsperson.
Watching this when its 35C outside makes me sweat even more! Great vid.
I always take a sense of humour. I have to with the group I shoot with!!
Excellant comment.... taking the day too seriously can kill - excuse the pun - a good day.
Thank you for posting. I have shared this with my Fiancé just before Christmas. Perfect!
This is as british as it gets and I love it
This is rich British...so not many people have the money to do this

Nice video!Quite different from Canadian hunting style, but everything is perfectly well prepared .Good job!Thanks for sharing.
Hi Ian , some top tips that shall be implemented this season.
Regards. Nick
I look like a savage when i am on a driven hunt for pheasant and hare. I usually wear surplus german army rain protection trousers with laced boots and gaiters a cartridge belt and a spray painted semi auto shotgun.
Honey Badger im sure you look amazing! 😃👍
I had no idea Zippo made those hand warmers. I'll be adding one to my shooting gear.
The whitby warmers are made better
As a fellow SxS shooter (130+ y/o hammer gun) -- I also like gloves, but I like thin lamb leather, with silk lining. But I agree that leather gloves are essential.

Can you do a video on how to get involved with shooting
Hi. Great content, but one question, where can I find the basket you used for wine and glasses?
Thank you for posting this video. I'm going to go Pheasant hunting for the first time next week. Your video gave me some good pointers. I will not be dressing with the same class as you folks, in the UK. A plaid jacket, hiking pants and a pair of my old combat boots. All are standard attire, for hunting in Alberta, Canada.
I do have a question about gun choice. I have a couple 12 gauge shotguns to choose from. A modern Remington 870 pump action with a modified choke and a 1930's Husqvarna SXS 12 gauge with external hammers and both barrels are full choke. Which one would you recommend?

Great video.....BUT could this not have been done at the start of the game season rather than just as it's about to end.......?
tanyano9 sorry about that! We’ll do a “ready for the season” video in August to help everyone get sorted! 😃👍
Ian - great video and it is nice to see someone recognising the traditions of the sport. Having risen from the ranks from beater, loader and now a reasonably good shot I think the traditions are so important. Recognising the effort other put in to make your day from the aged beater, young and new beaters, pickers up and the keeper staff. all deserve recognition. I tent to shoot 20b as I find the guns lighter, easier to swing but just as deadly as the 12b.

Here in the US, you just take your dog or no dog and whatever hunting clothes you can afford and go hunt. It's not supervised at all . I really love your clothes and dress it's awesome.
I have a austrian loden cape that I use as a waterproof.
What are your thought on Barbours hunting jacket
Dude very nice video but I like it when you hunt in the US you are more relax Your set up are seriously wicked can you do a wild boar hunt set up with the same gentleman's touch. Cheers and God bless
Try the German/Continental European treibjagd.. Wild boar driven hunts.
Where is your field jacket at 9:38 from?
good video ,im at the blunt end with a stick and flag, thats what i take with me
Just realized, I don't belong to the gentleman community. Time to improve the status.....just love the video.
Do you find situations where wellies just don't cut it? The one time I recall wishing I'd have worn lace up boots was hunting with a syndicate in the Peak District. There was a good bit of walking and steep terrain. I don't remember asking this, are the girls fixed choke or M/C? If the former, what are they choked?
Great video Ian..make one about your side by side only.
I use Musto Tech Tweed ( Carrick 3 piece with cap) - Leather gun case & cartridge bag - Peltor Ear Defenders - Telescopic Magnet pen with torch on the end to pick up cartridges -Moved to Aigle boots after 6 failed pairs of leather lined Le Chameau's Chasseur- Sealskinz gloves - Stockings and garters - Beretta Silver pigeon grade 5 - Always a posh formal shirt and tie - brown leather brogues - Fallow thumb stick to hold case & cartridge bag as well as coat if too warm - Now have to give the Port a miss as off the booze....lol....Wallet with cash for payment and tip...When I originally joined my shoot made up of mostly builders they uses to dress like builders however I have brought posh and tradition back to the team and now they are all dressing to impress.....
Good times. Been thinking of taking up shooting game birds (Mostly for the eating.) Is this something attainable for the average guy?
Johnstone72 if your just doing it on your own land you only need a cheap shotgun, shells and ear defenders so yeah it’s very easy to get started
Are those guns Steel ready ?
excellent video... what vehicle do you use??
is there similar formal clothing for an African safari?
You can carry and take guns on flights as hand luggage within the UK? gotta have your license on you as well right
Where did you get the Basket?
Hello Sir. I tried searching for the 'Ray Pavan' gun slip and the gun case, as mentioned by you in the video. I could not find them. Could you please tell me the company/brand of the gun slips and the gun case? Thank you sir.

May I ask what was the largest white tail deer the you have harvested
Scott Wasik do you mean largest as in meat harvested or antler size?
شكرا على هذه القناه الجميله الروعه
The shirt your wearing. Is that a tweed brand as well?
Good English port and sport
Usually i take a combine or a hunting truck somthing in the ford variety
One should work all day in the field then shoot a few birds
Pen knife & dog . To must haves .
Plus how are you at grouse hunting???
Scott Wasik I don’t shoot much grouse as the season doesn’t fall well for my hunting calendar. When I do, it’s an amazing day! You must be fast and have lightning reactions. It’s the absolute king of wingshooting!

Stop telling people... we have enough fudges walk-in around the woods as is.

No, en Inglaterra
Hi Team Wild, although I realize that it's a gentile event with a mannered style of shooting, I am surprised that there is no mention or discussion of a medical or trauma kit - even if it remains on / in the nearest quad bike or vehicle etc. I imagine the number of accidents are very low but are British game keepers trained in the latest modes of first aid / trauma care?
Yes,all shoots are by law issued with a humane killer bolt gun ,thereby enabling the head keeper to put the traumatised individual out of his misery in a painless and legal manner in the case of an accident .A very useful tool indeed.
Hi how are you man
Jesus, looks like he's done a one stop shop at John Norris 😅
And your folder knive where is?
ramon1973cat I don’t use one for Pheasant Shooting
Folder knives..Folder knives !..we each have a man to do those menial tasks for us ! ...one doesn't want blood and guts all over one's hands and equipment .

Good stuff , I note your Gumboots ( Wellies) are put away muddy . Bacteria in animal poo and the nitrates in pee can destroy your boots in no time ,( leather ones as well) also I wouldn't want to be the one who has carried an animal , or plant , disease from one farm to another , even weed seeds carried in mud can be a problem , so please clean and disinfect after each shoot and make your boots last longer .
Oh and I forgot to say the most important thing.....I always take pol pies and English Mustard ...enough for everyone on the shoot....
150 bird day?! here its a 2 bag limit and thats even far fetched
Lip balm. Don’t leave home without it!

I wonder with the regulations, if this style of dress would work here in the Pacific Northwest. I always wanted to look like a sophisticated gentleman whilst hunting upland game birds.

I was scrolling through videos and I thought this said “Peasant Shooting”.

You brits are dam stylish. Us yanks are more practical, never wore a suit and tie to hunt, you boy's are quite funny. I guess us Americans are a little rough around the edges.
