Four wild boar, three shots at foxes (missed), two roe does, a red hind and a mouflon: it turns out to be Paul’s best driven hunt ever, as he joins 40 other shooters at Laubach Castle in Germany. He is there to try out the Zeiss V6 scope, Hornady’s plastic-tipped ELD-X and lead-free ETX ammunition, and the Merkel Helix rifle. Plus it’s our last show of 2017, so time to look back over the year in our annual blooper reel – all the bits of the programme we couldn’t use… until now. News and Hunting YouTube complete this episode of #FieldsportsBritain – happy new year.
