This is Hunting YouTube, which aims to show the best hunting, shooting and fishing videos
that YouTube has to offer.
A couple of French films for starters. Ooh la la. Milouin has featured before. This time,
he is showing a lovely early morning in the Carmargue looking for duck.
Next is a languid film about a mouflon hunting trip in the Czech Republic. There are a lot
of mouflon here. An awful lot. Despite the calming piano music soundtrack, he does get
to shoot them.
From flocks of Czech sheep to sounders of Australian pigs. SteveLeeILikeGuns is hunting
Crocodile Dundee country in the Northern Territory for feral pigs. He says that the NT has a
high number of large boars because of the remoteness and the size of the state. That
turns out to be an understatement. This place is pork soup and the animals are not hard
to get close to. The damage they are doing to the countryside is clear to see. Steve
has a lot of shooting on his hands here.
Use your fingers says Totally Awesome fishing host Graeme Pullen in this British how-to
piece about catching chub. What he’s talking about is touch ledgering, where you feel the
weight bumping along the bottom of the river bed. "You can bump and feel, and also use
your left hand," he says "It’s so sensitive, you can feel the bite". Fnarr fnarr.
Now we go 6,000 miles to California where ‘Jeremy Salmon Fishing 2’ is a cute film,
mainly to 1980s computer game music, showing an angler catching a chum salmon that has
run up from the Pacific. And then showing his increasingly desperate attempts to let
it go. He succeeds in the end.
Staying in America, it’s not quite our experience of deerstalking but here’s a keen hunter
, Casey Shoopman, editor and videographer for ManagementAdvantage, who is planning what
corn to leave on his farm in Illinois in order to attract deer. He is talking about crops
and vegetation we barely grow and know in Europe but the film has some useful tips about
what he reckons deer want for cover and for food.
Now we’re back in the UK again and looking at rodents. Top of the list is this test of
thermal imaging equipment by LordLardOfFrams which includes plenty of rabbit shooting.
Next we have rat hunting and CountryPursuitsTV is getting baity - that is he is showing off
the secrets off his best baits for ratting. You get seven minutes of Malcolm being a kind
of vermin version of Delia Smith but eventually he takes the stuff out to try it out on the
real thing.
You can click on any of these films to watch them. If you have a YouTube film you would
like us to pop in to the weekly top eight, send it in via YouTube, or email me the link
