Looks like the UK will be doing around 30-50% of its usual shooting this winter. Bird flu from France where eggs are purchsed and brought over has stopped exports. | ||

Certainly the early Partridge shooting from September will be scarce, but pheasants in October and November may well be OK. Prices are shooting up (excuse the pun) and some shoots may require steel shot, which does not suit my pre-war shotguns with 2.5" chambers and full choke. I may have to get one of these over-under thingies... | |||

. Just back from a week of corvids and pigeon in the UK. Game season is looking bleaker than bleak! One Suffolk farm that typically rears 3 million (yes 3 million) birds from eggs, has not received a single egg from France this year due to avian flu in France. None of the shoots have put out prices yet and many have cancelled all shoot days already. Talk is that a couple of the high bird Devon shoots are looking at around GBP 75 - 85,- a bird. 2022 game season will be high bucks for those that shoot! . "Up the ladders and down the snakes!" | |||
