Volume VI • Issue I

The December issue of Fieldsports Journal is guest edited by F1 legend Sir Jackie Stewart OBE. As a passionate countryman, he discusses his passion for country life, his stint as an international clay shooting champion, his hidden handicap and his biggest challenge to date. With a festive grey partridge cover by Army-officer-turned-painter Freddy Paske, he tells us how being turned down for a job with Sir Jackie Stewart kick-started his new career at the easel and how he became the Artist-in-Residence during The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. This issue also sees us speak to conservationist-of-the-moment Jake Fiennes about his new book, gundog trainer Ben Randall discusses how losing September shoot days will affect our dogs in the field and we have recipes from The Batch Lady so you can cook game just once but enjoy meals all week. Plus all our regular contributors like James Percy and Sam Carlisle are on hand to offer comment and reflection. Oh – and there’s a huge Christmas gift guide to help you source that special gift for the fieldsports fans in your house.
