It’s Jaf Jefferson’s day in the pigeon hide. Best-known as a ferreter, Jaf loves the summer sport of decoying, and David joins him to find out why. It’s a story that goes back to Jaf’s grandfather. Meanwhile, Tom Davies is stalking on Dartmoor and avoiding the tourists that are such a feature of Britain’s national parks for a few weeks every summer. And can you tell the difference between a tiger, leopard and bear attack? Rajeev Mathew can. He explains what to look for. We are giving away an Accumax airgun priced at £150. David is on the news stump, and James Marchington has the best hunting videos on YouTube in Hunting YouTube. It’s all in this week’s #FieldsportsBritain
