I like to see animals and wildlife and respect all quarry though id find it hard to "love" a wild animal , if you shoot anything it should be for a reason such as it is a pest , it is injured , its a food source such as driven game etc. I shoot because not only do i enjoy the challenge it gives me(you cannot beat a really high fast bird) but on our shoot we usually hit a bag of around only 60 birds each shoot day , if i have a squeeze and hit 1 or 2 good birds that is enough for me , its the day out with damp dogs and good honest like minded people that really counts, two birds also fit in the freezer easily too ! .If shooting were stopped a hell of a lot of uk animal species would suffer as a result of increased building , predators etc so i consider myself to be a defender of wildlife in a way. We all share a duty of care towards our sport and all target species involved and i truly believe all uk shooters share that philosophy .
