The Field

Aug 01 2022
Magazine

Published by Time Inc. (UK) Ltd The Field is a monthly glossy magazine dedicated to those brave souls who shoot, fish and hunt way beyond the call of duty. Since 1853, its staff has selflessly brought its readers the cream of rural life, be it pheasant shooting, dry-fly fishing or the distinct merits of Cheval Blanc. If you love field sports, errant terriers and very foxy friends at hunt balls, The Field is for you.

The Field

Standing up for our moors • Muirburn has become the stick with which grouse moors are beaten, and licensing will be tough, but by speaking out and correcting half-truths, we can save these precious habitats, says Tim Baynes

Field in focus

News in brief

August diary

Raise the Game celebrates four years of support

The Field’s Almanac

SPORTING WAGERS

Faces • An elegant Borders bash for Clare Brownlow at The Hirsel Homestead

Subscription offer

Kit to covert • Our monthly guide to everything notable in the field for sporting enthusiasts and those keen on country life

Letters

Food’s back on the table • In an increasingly unpredictable world, ensuring a secure food supply is vital, but farmers are facing an extraordinary challenge in delivering not only for our plates but for the environment, says Rupert Bates

Six of the best: Wales

One must always go out • Shooting grouse from a butt or over sleek, agile setters is a joy, but the beauty of the Twelfth is in simply being out – even if the gun never comes to your shoulder, say Neil and Serena Cross

Ralia Estate Inverness-shire • An August day spent shooting grouse over pointers may not benefit from the best conditions, but the camaraderie is second to none

A thing of marvel and beauty • Gunmaking innovation is at the forefront of British gunmaker Boss & Co’s new rising third bite locking mechanism for its side-lever shotguns

A utopia high in the heather • The moorland that’s home to grouse provides a habitat mosaic that nurtures myriad birds as well as a sporting paradise like no other on Earth

Mastering the king of gamebirds • The driven grouse presents a challenge rarely seen in other forms of shooting, but these five shots are all you need to succeed

The lure of the loch • Large or small, wild or stocked, the still waters of Scotland offer world-class trout fishing in breathtaking surroundings

A hymn to the Connemara • Athletic and intelligent and with beauty to match, these hardy little ponies from Ireland’s rugged west coast have captured many hearts

A Macnab to protect our sporting icons • The feat of catching a salmon, grassing a stag and shooting a brace of grouse all in one day is a triumph of conservation as much as sporting prowess

With pace, style and irresistible elegance • There are few things finer than watching pointers and setters floating effortlessly over heather moorland in search of their quarry

Action stations • Rail travel made Scotland a major sporting destination, with guns, rods and hounds heading north, and salmon, grouse and memories returning south

Grassroots champions • Lawnmower racing is motorsport at its most accessible – all you need to compete are a love of engines and nerves of steel

Country estate • THE BEST GUNS, DOGS, BOOKS, ART, WINE, FOOD AND EVERYTHING ELSE THAT MAKES LIFE WORTH LIVING

Country queries

Handbags at dawn • While many of us are tightening our belts, there are still folk out there with more millions than sense – this may be good for the art market, but it is a sign of these increasingly divided times, says Roger Field

THE ‘SQUEEZE’ PISTOL
