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.

    The Top Shots List Episode

    Jonathan Young - former editor of both Shooting Times and The Field - is the special guest in this wide-ranging episode, which takes in everything from whether its right to shoot English Partridge on a species day, the difficulty of finding beating opportunities, prehistoric beasts and the secrets of publishing trade. With more than 30 years working in the shooting press, and having travelled the world in pursuit of game, fish and good times, Jonathan is a wealth of knowledge and wisdom, JY's thoughts on a tricky Whose Bird is it Anyway Dilemma and a thought-provoking Unpopular Opinion are well worth paying attention to. As the mastermind of The Field's Macnab Challenge, what will he make of the this episode's MacPodcast itinerary?

    The Same-Same but Different Episode

    This episode marks yet another transitional moment for the GunsOnPegs Podcast, with the blooding of not one, not two, but THREE new hosts. George is joined by Jake Woolf, Avian Sandercock and Sam Turner, who will be taking on some of the hosting duties, giving Chris a bit of headspace to focus on other projects. The chaps check out some follow up correspondence from recent episodes, and look deeper into the topic of peg numbering systems and the traditional number of guns on a shoot day (if there is one!). The also discuss the relative merits of taking on that high pigeon on a driven day...

    The Cartoonist Episode

    Oliver Preston is one of the UK's leading cartoonists. His work has graced the pages of leading rural publications as well as numerous books, including the much-loved and ubiquitous 'How to be Asked Again' by Rosie Nickerson. As a lifelong observer of the nuances and peculiarities of the shooting world, he is well placed to help Chris and George tackle a couple of thorny Unpopular Opinions. He also shares some insight into his creative processes, and tells us why he believes that cartoons are not only far more powerful and important to British culture than we might suppose, and why the downstairs loo is really a place of honour.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

    24 SEPT.

    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?
