Jonathan Young - former editor of both Shooting Times and The Field - is the special guest in this wide-ranging episode, which takes in everything from whether its right to shoot English Partridge on a species day, the difficulty of finding beating opportunities, prehistoric beasts and the secrets of publishing trade.

With more than 30 years working in the shooting press, and having travelled the world in pursuit of game, fish and good times, Jonathan is a wealth of knowledge and wisdom, JY's thoughts on a tricky Whose Bird is it Anyway Dilemma and a thought-provoking Unpopular Opinion are well worth paying attention to.
