The GunsOnPegs Podcast

The no.1 Game Shooting Podcast in the UK One of the best parts of a day out shooting is the chat with your mates in the pub at the end of the day or on the gunbus. The GunsOnPegs Podcast attempts to bottle that rambling conversation. In the company of a different special guest from the world for shooting each episode, we pour ourselves a drink and tackle the big topics - and the small ones - in fieldsports, conservation, land management and more, always with a wry smile or a downright silly atmosphere. Our guests share their expertise, wisdom (or their lack of each) as well as helping us to resolve listener's shooting dilemmas in Whose Bird is it Anyway, debating the audience's Unpopular Opinions and discussing more listener correspondence.

  1. The Dogs, Eagles and Jilly Cooper Episode

    22 OCT.

    The Dogs, Eagles and Jilly Cooper Episode

    Despite some questionable gun safety practices and even more questionable morality, will the new TV adaptation of Jilly Cooper's Rivals bring more people into the British countryside? What is the correct proceedure when your dog starts a fight on a shoot day, and should Beaters' Days take place in October instead of January? What would happen if you shot a pumpkin at 30 yards, and how can we help gamekeepers to tell their stories and showcase their work in the media. As always the GunsOnPegs Podcast asks the big questions, this time with special guest Camilla Swift to provide the wisdom.

  2. The Pheasant Episode

    8 OCT.

    The Pheasant Episode

    As a brand new pheasant shooting season gets underway George Davis, game farmer and head honcho of the Game Farmers' Association, joins the podcast to celebrate these magnificent birds. We learn about the bird's origins, the various strains of pheasant, what makes the 'perfect' pheasant and how the breeding and rearing of pheasants has changed over the years. George also helps us to resolve a listener's dilemma - this time, what to do about a deaf spaniel - and we have our first MacPodcast submission from a listener. Chris laments his lack of September shooting opportunities and invents a (questionable) new drink, and George reports back after his adventures cooking with fire.

    The Sloe Gin and Beyond Episode

    Richard Prideaux is a survival and wild food expert with a passion for spending time in the countryside and harvesting his bounty. He joins Chris and George to talk about all the wonderful fruit (and more) to be found in woods and hedgerows at this time of year, and to share a drop of his vast knowledge. The trio discuss the intricacies of blackberrying, the origins and truths behind some of the received wisdom when it comes to making your own sloe gin, and Richard explains why sloe gin is only the beginning. In Whose Bird is it Anyway the boys become career guidance councellors and in Unpopular Opinions we discover if sausage rolls are a human right for beaters.

    10 SEPT.

    The Shooting in Numbers Epsiode

    As we head into a brand new shooting season George and Digby delve into the results of the 2024 Game Shooting and Shoot Owner Census to answer the biggest questions in shooting: How much does a pheasant cost this year, and how does it compare to last year? What is the average bag size that guns shoot, and has that number changed over time? And, perhaps most importantly, what is the most popular fine for shooting the white pheasant?

    The Etiquette and Style Episode

    Does shooting etiquette, clothing and tradition matter? Giles Catchpole is a fieldsports journalist and humourist whose work has graced the pages of numerous magazines over the years. His Shooting Types books - collaborations with renowned sporting cartoonist Bryn Parry - are found in downstairs loos in the right sort of houses up and down the land, owing to his His unique combination of sharp-eyed observation and a witty style. Writing as 'Uncle Giles' in Shooting Gazette, he was a guide on matters sartorial and ethical for many a shooting man and woman for years.  All of this makes Giles the ideal chap to join Chris and George for a chat about some of the finer points that the conventions, codes and customs of the shooting world throw up, and answer the question that will ring down the ages: why does any of it matter?'

    The Post-Election Episode

    What does the new Labour Government mean for shooting and the countryside? The day after the King's Speech Tim Bonner, head honcho at the Countryside Alliance, joined us at GunsOnPegs HQ to give his take on this question and many others surrounding the change of government. Tim looks into his crystal ball and highlights a few potential storm clouds on the horizon, but also a few rays of hope as well. Tim gives us an overview on how organisations like the Alliance try to influence policy makers through relationship building and gives his assessment of the new Ministers who will drive decision-making in the new government. Tim also offers up some tips how the shooting community as a whole can ensure that shooting has a long future in the UK

    The Grey Partridge Keeper Episode

    What does it take to bring Grey Partridges back from the brink of local extinction? Our guest for this episode, Charlie Mellor, is Head Gamekeeper at the Norfolk Estate in Sussex, where he manages the Peppering Project, the Duke of Norfolk's widely lauded effort to do just that.  Charlie was born to be a keeper, and is now responsible for one of the most important shooting projects in the country, demonstrating that well-managed shooting estates can have enormous biodiversity benefits, not just for game birds but for entire ecosystems. He shares his deep knowledge of managing the landscape for grey partridges with Chris and George, as well as diving a little deeper into the significance of the Peppering Project to the other species which make their homes on the estate, the local community and the wider shooting community.

    2 JUIL.

    The Well Hung Episode

    Hugo Campbell Hill, AKA @thegameglutton joins us to talk about how life has led him to sharing his game cookery recipes and tips on Instagram, and his personal crusade to get more people - both inside and outside shooting - enjoying cooking and eating game. Hugo's breezy style and easy-to-follow recipes have seen him build a small yet loyal following since he started his project in February 2024, and we discover what his vision is for the future of his project. We also discuss the joys of mincing, smoking, and brining. Hugo also weighs in on the divisive debate of paper/plastic cups vs. mugs on a shoot day, and watches on as George (back from his holiday) drops Chris in the cacky over his questionable tipping practises. There's a final call for submissions for the Shooting Heroes prizes (a peg on a shoot day, and a day on the Test), ahead of the special edition episode to be recorded live at The Game Fair.
