Fieldsports news: game shooting, hunting, fishing and countryside matters

Fieldsports Journal covers the news that matters to people who shoot, hunt, fish and live the countryside life. Legislation that threatens traditional pursuits, conservation victories worth celebrating, landmark legal cases, industry developments, international hunting news and the stories that the mainstream media either misses or misrepresents – it is all covered here, by a team that understands fieldsports from the inside.

Game shooting, deer stalking, wildfowling, fly fishing, falconry, hound sports and the rural communities that depend on them – Fieldsports Journal reports across the full breadth of the fieldsports world. Comment comes from the leading figures in the sport: hunters, conservationists, lawyers, landowners and the organisations that fight for fieldsports at the highest level.

This is news written by people who live the life they cover. There is a difference, and it shows.
