Interview with Sir Ian Botham

What do you enjoy most about it and do you have a favourite type of shooting?

I was lucky enough to spend my childhood 
in Somerset, which is a very beautiful county, and then in Yorkshire, so it probably doesn’t get better than that in terms of fantastic countryside. It’s about getting out there and spending a few quality hours surrounded by nature. I take my dog and I don’t really mind what shooting I’m doing whether I’m walking-up, sitting in a hide for pigeon, in a field of beans decoying, or on a driven day. If pushed, my favourites are probably grouse or high pheasant. Then 
I also enjoy deer stalking and helping with the cull; I’m very fond of venison.
