The French know how to run a Game Fair.

At the Fontainebleau celebration of hunting, antis handed out leaflets outside the gate — so organisers kindly provided a bin inside for visitors to dispose of them.

And for the hound displays? A radio-controlled wild boar. Naturally.

A Scottish red hind and a Labrador appear to have struck up what can only be described as a very one-sided relationship.

Inverpolly Estate in the North-West Highlands shared footage of a young Labrador winding up what the estate calls a “crazy hind” — safely, of course, with a fence between them.

CCTV has captured the moment a bear attacked a man at Fukushima Steelworks in Japan.

Four people sustained minor injuries, and the bear remains at large. With more than 50,000 bears in the country, Japan’s local and national governments are increasingly turning to hunters for help managing the problem.

It is another reminder that well-managed shooting estates can be rich in wildlife.

Albania looks set to reopen hunting after a ten-year moratorium.

Wildlife and bird-watching organisations have supported the move, citing positive conservation work with hunters on projects including Balkan lynx and brown bear initiatives.

The government says the hunting ban saw poaching increase in several areas, while long-term wildlife monitoring weakened.

Plans to raise the cost of a five-year firearm certificate from £98 to £250 have been dropped after strong opposition from the rural community.

Hunters, anglers and farmers in Oregon are facing a major fight over Petition 28, described by opponents as a threat to rural life.

The proposal could remove legal protections from hunting, shooting, fishing and some farming activity, potentially criminalising around a million people.

The Oregon Hunters Association is urging supporters to act before the 2 July 2026 petition deadline.

Badger culling for TB control is coming to an end, with government confirming no new licences will be issued.

Badgers are one of the carriers of bovine TB, a disease that can devastate cattle herds. Campaigners have long opposed the cull, while farmers have argued it is one of the tools needed to control the spread.

@DefraGovUK says work continues on cattle vaccination and alternative TB control methods.

Could European nature laws change to allow cormorants to be shot?

Ten European nations say the fish-eating birds are now a serious threat to wildlife and fisheries, following a major population rise since they were protected under the 1979 Birds Directive.

With an estimated two million great cormorants across Europe, several countries are now calling for hunting controls to return.

The @RSPBEngland has released its latest raptor persecution report, again linking illegal bird of prey killings to land managed for game shooting.

The group claims 921 confirmed incidents between 2015 and 2024, involving birds including buzzards, goshawks, peregrines and owls.

Shooting organisations condemn raptor persecution and continue to work with police to stop wildlife crime, but the RSPB is calling for shoot licensing and tougher penalties.
