Paul Childerley is an award-winning gamekeeper and multiple world-champion kickboxer. He's been on the screens of millions as she brings viewers along for his hunts, stalks, and shoots.

In this episode, we discuss the reality of deer control, pest control, and other tasks that need to occur for the countryside to be managed.

We also talk about Paul's kickboxing training and competing, and balancing it with operating a business, how he manages the physical toll of both, how game meat doesn't taste as nice as the supermarket alternatives - and how to get around it - why he chooses cocker spaniels as a breed, whether you should become a gamekeeper, and so much more.
