In tonights Boxing Day Huntsman special Team Wild TV's Keith Anderson is up in the Yorkshire Dales at Ripley Castle.
We are joined by Ripley Castle's head gamekeeper David Cockshott, who takes us through the daily routine of a gamekeeper at the estate during a commercial pheasant shoot.
Game keeping is a very old profession. The first gamekeepers in Britain would have been the men who protected the deer from poachers in the medieval Royal hunting forests. Today, gamekeepers are still concerned about poachers but their main work is to help pheasants, partridges, hares, deer and grouse to thrive in the countryside.
Because lots of other wild birds and animals benefit from these things too, gamekeeping helps to ensure a balanced environment with plentiful wildlife. And between then, Britain's gamekeepers look after far more countryside than all the National Parks and nature reserves put together.
So, sit back, watch and enjoy!
