Been catching up on my viewing of the Fieldsports Britain YT page, always a fun group that doesn't take itself too seriously, and this episode from last Christmas shows a sponsored hunt in Sweden the lads were invited along for by Aimpoint. That explains all the propaganda but what was new to me is the use of rather small shot size 12 G shells to slay the little deer with no actual penetration of the meat, the claim being that it's the shock of impact that kills them. Quite certain this would never work on our deer, but still interesting, and there's some boar shooting in there as well. Good work if you can get, FSB staff. (The hunt in question is in the first 18 minutes, then they move on to other things.)
Interesting use of shotguns in hunting Swedish roebuck

I am not in a position to watch this video at the moment but this sounds like a bunch of horsecrap to me.
I mean no disrespect to you of course. I will watch this with interest when my internet connection is better and look forward to others opinions and hopefully experience.

Yeah do watch it and explain where the horsecrap comes in. Quite a strange and elaborate plot if you're right.

I can see that, from my own experience with birdshot and chokes at close distances on small game. I’ve taken heads clean off grouse and rabbits, there’s minimal spread at that distance with the right choke and ammo. Quite impressive actually.

You would think so, but they showed one skinned out in the video. There was almost no bruising. You could see in the hair where the shot had hit before they started skinning, I would guess about an 8" circle just behind the shoulder. If you haven't watched it, you may not realize how small these deer are. On the other side of things, they also showed a guy shoot two of them with a Blaser rifle in 9.3 x62. One extreme to the other.

Ha nice to hear reactions to driven hunts this side of the pond.
I am going to link this thread back to European forum and see what they say ...
Community driven hunt is a culture in most Central European and Nordic countries, unless you were brought up that way can be very challenging
it can show up or down a hunter’s ability very quickly and believe me , if you make a mistake you really feel like the villege idiot
Good old Roy , hunted with him many times
By the way I am that ‘idiot’ somebody mentioned swinging a Blaser in 9.3x62......

a 9.3x62 with a roe deer is working very good and with the right bullet there is not much damage on the meat (i ve proven that in all my year of hunting as young hunter in europe) and less than a 300 win mag. the reason using 9.3x52 is red deer and wild boar if you had in sweden finnland or norway moose and bear you get the answer ...
My daughter lives in Berlin now, after growing up in BC, hunting and butchering game. A relative gave her some roebuck meat shot with a rifle, I don't know what, but I had the relatives 308 in my hands once. I don't think they go for the .222, .223 or .243 class of rifle even for roebuck there. My daughter gets the occasional boar or roebuck from them and cuts it herself.
Anyway, she said the meat was shot to rat#### and bloodshot to boot. "It looked like it was blown in half," she said this morning on our usual Sunday morning phone call.
