We're back with a brand new series and to kick things off we are joined by Andrew Gilruth of the Game and Wildlife Conservation Trust. We talk heather burning, discuss the link between shooting and conservation, the concept of net ecological gain, and ask how best to fund conservation work.

As usual, we talk booze, and help out a listener with a shooting dilemma in Who's Bird is it Anyway. We also reveal some further details of the podcast party that will take place at the Game Fair.
