We’re all about fox shooting this week. Roy Lupton is out to test new night vision on foxes in Kent, filmed by David. Meanwhile, Charlie joins one of our supporters, David Pomeroy, to go fox shooting in Dorset with a thermal scope. Plus news editor Ben O’Rourke brings us the story of how Natural England is throwing its weight around in the Norfolk Broads, trying to ban fish from living in the water there. We have a piece from the Sako ammunition factory in Finland about how they get to make ammunition branded .308 Winchester and .223 Remington. And we bring you the results of our lockdown survey – this week its shooting jackets and trousers. Charlie rounds up the top hunting videos on YouTube in this week’s Hunting YouTube, and David reports on the latest anti action on the News Stump. Catch all of this in this week’s #FieldsportsBritain
