To start, why not delve into one of our shoot profiles as Mike Barnes visits Brightwalton for an early-season dose of sport, and Alex Brant recounts a day at the impressive Bindon Manor in Devon. Or, learn more about the very beginnings of game rearing in the UK, how wild partridge shoots in Spain compare to those in the British Isles, and ways to better your range-judging when you're on the peg.
And if that doesn't whet your appetite, a selection of industry characters, stalwarts and experts share their experiences and advice throughout. We learn more about Rugby ace Tom Croft's passion for country sports, explore the minutiae of mastering the hardest shots in the book with some of the finest game Shots of our era, and chat to six of the most successful gundog trainers and handlers of all time about their glittering careers so far. Meanwhile Michael Wigan meets the man responsible for transforming the fate of one Scotland's most prized salmon rivers.
For the main course, Mother Nature takes centre stage. We discuss the state of play for our wild greys on some of the most prestigious wild bird shoots in the UK, whilst Lord James Percy highlights the silver lining of a modest season for our red grouse, and Owen Williams digests some fascinating new findings from research on woodcock migration.
Room for more? Grab your thinking hat as Steve Rawsthorne asks whether fieldcraft in stalking is being neglected in favour of modern technology and long-range shots, Camilla Swift muses over David Cameron's promise of an open vote on the Hunting Act, and Vic Harker sings the praises of an unorthodox new game gun.
Plus much, much more!
