It's all about kit and long range hunting in this extra show. We chat with journalist Mark Ripley about the things to think about when taking longer shots, including ethics and quarry limitations. From rifle to the latest in thermal and night vision, it's an enlightening discussion about how to use technology today.

It's all about adventure this week, as we are honoured to have explorer and previous Adventurer of the Year Ed Stafford on the show. We talk about his new book, Adventures for a Lifetime, as well as his journey from leaving the military to the world's first successful navigation of the Amazon River on foot. A truly inspirational character, he is a great example of what can be achieved through grit and determination.

Delving under the surface this week, we welcome Mark Bilsby, CEO of the Atlantic Salmon Trust, and Will Peake, a ghillie on the river Dee on onto the show. Most of our conversations centre around Atlantic Salmon and the issues surrounding the marked decline in populations in the last hundred years. From the historical context to the latest technological advances, we chat about the importance of Salmon as a species, what is being done to understand the decline, and identify the missing pieces of the puzzle when it comes to Salmon returning to our rivers. Of international importance, the consequences of failure to save the species could be unimaginable.

Worldwide we see government decisions impacting on wildlife and habitat management in negative way, often driven by personal agendas and moral exceptions. We saw this with Tahr in New Zealand, and British Columbia with Grizzly Bears, both topics we have covered in in previous shows. Now we see it in Wales, with shooting leases being taken back on public land, effectively ceasing all shooting/hunting activity. We hear here from Sue Evans, Director of the GWCT in Wales, to understand the history and reasons behind the recent decision. Importantly, we ask what the government is doing to replace the proven benefits of shooting in these areas.

Our most time sensitive episode yet, you need to listen to this. We interview Greg Duley, editor of NZ Hunter Magazine, and a man who has been at the forefront of the fight to halt the mass cull of Tahr by the NZ government. Given only 12 days' notice for what is a mass eradication, the New Zealand people have reacted. This is the history and the story so far.

Joining us for the second time on the show, veterinary student and avid hunter Ulrik Orskov brings us stories from Africa and North America, as he jams hunting into every spare moment. We hear about his research being completed for his dissertation on the food intake of roe deer, as well as his recent adventure to Zambia, where he hunted and worked on game capture teams. We get a hair raising account of what its like to hunt Elk in North America, and for a brief period the tables are turned, as Ulrik asks Byron about his successful Tahr hunt in New Zealand. Last but not least, we also hear what winning the MOTV Emerging Talent Film Bursary at this years DNA Film Festival meant to him.

From technologies to clean up the environment, to the re-introduction of lions in Mozambique, this show is an eclectic mix of the things we find interesting at Pace Brothers HQ. Salmon killing dolphins, fake photography, pangolin poaching, contact lenses and micro-fibers is just dipping your toe in.
