On this weeks show we are discussing all things New Zealand. The show was recorded in two parts in a mountain hut in the south island. Byron and Joseph cover a huge array of topics including Heli hunting, the ethical standards in New Zealand as well as wildlife management and lack off it there. They debate clothing systems and how to make your pack as light as. Before the end we also have time to cover Byron’s first Tahr hunt and why you should use a guide.

On this week’s show we have Kim Hughes GC. We begin by talking about his book ‘Painting The Sand’.

Tyler Sharp joins us on a very late night at the end of a super busy week. Editor and chief of Modern Huntsman publication, this is his second appearance on the show. We talk about the success of volume one before looking forward to what the future holds for this publication. We also discuss public lands and how that means something different in different countries. We go from roe buck stalking, to the understanding of grouse moor management, and where the ethics of hunting lies in a greater understanding of our connection to our food. Importantly, how we explain what we do to the non-hunter. A relaxed, informal chat over a whiskey, join us.

On this weeks show we speak to Mark Newton, MD of John Rigby and Sons, all about their fantastic adventure to Blair Atholl last year, as well as recounting the journey of Jim Corbett's rifle back to India. In the second part of the show we speak to Lise Ailin Lorentzen (Villrypa). A very good friend, she has been on a number of adventures with us over the last two years. We chat about early life, the rise of women taking up hunting in Norway, as well as her red deer hunt in Scotland. This is the final show from a brilliant IWA show this year.

First up a return from Davey Hughes, the man behind Swazi clothing, talking bear hunting, charging buffalo and generally being entertaining us as we listened. Then we hear from Rob Gearing, the brain power behind Spartan Precision Equipment. We find out the origins of the company and a bit about the kind of hunter he is. There is also a heap of updates on events and recent trips. Oh, and we talk about the weather - but for good reason.

Not one but two guests this week, we pick up the show with Tomo Svetic from Artemis Hunting. All around good guy, we have known him for many years. He is a podcast listener, but more importantly is one of the most experienced guides and outfitters in Europe. We talk hunting stories, experiences and ethics, and manage to have a good laugh at the same time. Then we hear from Mike Day, director of The Islands and The Whales documentary, which we recorded podcast #23 with him on. We have a brief discussion about the UK release of the film and what the response has been like around the globe.
