061.jpg Sir Michael Leighton Bt in front of his seat Loton Park, Shropshire, 3456 x 2304 Sir Michael Leighton Bt, 3456 x 2304ORIGINAL ARTICLEDiscover HPRs eventThe International Gundog Working Test for hunt point retrievers at Loton Park in Shropshire was a start for the testing of deer dogs in the UK. Organiser Nicholas Elder talks up the good bits about the weekendHeld in September on the beautiful Shropshire estate Loton Park of Sir Michael Leighton Bt, Discover HPRs suffered poor organisation but nothing that cannot be improved. Sir Michael has owned and worked German short haired pointers for more than 30 years and is currently looking at large munsterlanders. As an HPR enthusiast, he was an ideal host as he allowed the whole of his estate to be used for the event as well as providing accommodation at the house for the judges, helpers and me. Sir Michael is also a senior ‘A’ panel judge for HPRs.

The teams who took part in the end were England(the winners), Wales, Ireland Holland and Germany, a team from Slovakia were also invited but unfortunately had to withdraw a week before as one of their members was ill and had to go hospitable which was a shame. The dogs which took part were German Shorthaired pointers, German Wirehaired pointers, Weimaraner, both short and Longhaired, Slovakian Rough haired pointers and a team of Dutch Partridge dogs representing Holland. These on first appearance resembled English Springer Spaniels but on a closer look were very different.However I am now going to concentrate on the blood trail/track part of the competition. This was spread over two days to enable specta

072.jpg Clinton Devon Estates stalker Tom Garner, 3456 x 2304 Tom Garner, 3456 x 2304ORIGINAL ARTICLETom’s got the perfect jobIt’s nine-to-five, day ion, day out plus tons of overtime. The thing about Tom Garner’s job is that it is almost all shooting, as Alistair Macgregor finds outImagine a job where you have to go stalking every morning and where the pressure is on to shoot foxes, rabbits and squirrels when you are not stalking. It’s the perfect job for a Sporting Rifle reader, surely.This is the day to day reality for Tom Garner, Estate Ranger for the Clinton Devon Estates in East Devon, where he is responsible for the management of wild deer, control of vermin and is part-time keeper on the owner’s shoot.It’s a family business with a professional management team running nearly 25,000 acres, most of it around Exmouth and Beer on the East Devon coast. There are home farms in hand, which have just gone organic – but much of the farming is let. There is one shoot with a fulltime keeper on the southern part of the estate and the other shoots on the tenant farms are part-time keepered.Tom took over three years ago from an estate ranger who had been at Clinton Devon Estates for 35 years. Tom’s arrival coincided with the Estate investing in its deer management operations with a purpose built chiller and handling facility, development of direct venison sales and conducted stalking.They are all roe deer here. The ground varies so much on the huge acreage that Tom gets all kinds, from woodland deer, through seaside deer to field deer that hide out in Devon’s’ big hedges. There are hills on the estate with gorse moorland on top and there is seven miles of the River Otter. There are farms on the estate that do livestock and others that specialise in arable.Cull numbers are agreed with the Estates Woodland Manager and are based on regular monitoring of browsing impacts within the Estates woodlands. “I hold the Forestry Commission as the leading light in deer management,” says Tom. “The way we do things here takes a lot fr
