Recorded live in the field from an ancient hunting lodge in Scotland's far northern Highlands, this episode brings listeners a look into the grand tradition of stalking red stags in The Olde Countrie--as well as current opportunities.

If you're a serious elk hunter, you've likely dreamed of hunting red stags. New Zealand, Argentina, and the European continent all have allure, but the most exciting and historic of all red stag hunting is in Scotland, where Victorian nobles built castle-like stone lodges and climbed the gnarly highland mountains in pursuit of old stags.

Spartan's Rob Gearing, host Joseph von Benedikt, and estate manager Sam Thompson sit down by the crackling fireplace and talk through modern-day stag stalking in the highlands. What to expect, appropriate rifles and cartridges, conservation and estate management, and actual shooting and stalking scenarios. Plus, we bring you the first word of a terrific new flexible bipod—the Spartan Springbuck. It's arguably the most versitile all-purpose shooting rest for lowland and mild backcountry hunting made.

ENJOY!
