Episode 50 — SA Fieldsports Photography - Scott Allan

This week on Nordic Tales & American Trails, we sit down with 📸 Scott Allan of SA Fieldsports Photography — a UK-based hunter and photographer whose lens has followed working dogs from the sand dunes of Africa 🌍 to the woods of America 🌲 and the coursing fields of Europe 🐾

.

Scott’s story starts at home 🏡, where changes in UK hunting laws pushed him from running his own dogs into capturing hunts through photography. What began with ferreting and lurchers soon grew into a global pursuit — from boarhounds 🐗 and Galgos 🐕 to leopard 🐆 and bobcat 🐈‍⬛ hunts.

We dig into:

🔹 The journey from hunter ➡️ international hunting photographer

🔹 Stories from hunts across continents 🌍

🔹 Boarhounds, Galgos, terriers — and the wide variety of working dogs 🐾

🔹 How modern regulations & “anti” pressure shape hunting in the UK 🇬🇧

🔹 The power (and risks) of social media 📱

🔹 Scott’s upcoming book 📖 — will one volume be enough?

Through Scott’s eyes 👀, we see not just the dogs at work, but the culture, tradition, and challenges surrounding them. From coursing in Spain 🇪🇸 to an upcoming bobcat hunt in Texas 🤠, his images carry the same grit and honesty we celebrate on this show.

🎧 Tune in for Episode 50 of Nordic Tales & American Trails — where Scott Allan takes us behind the camera, into the field, and across the world of hunting dogs.
