#2 | Choosing a Pup

Swarovski Optik and Wilderness Hunting in New Zealand!   In this fantastic and educational episode we have a visit from our friend Neil Smith who is a Regional Sales Manager for Swarovski Optik. Neil , often known as 'Norm', tells us all about his recent bucket list experience on a hunting trip to New Zealand. Neil then goes on to give us an insight into the company in Austria, explains some of the technical workings of the Swarovski range and how this knowledge may affect your decision when buying a new product. He covers the subjects of objective lens sizes, tube diameters, light transmissions and even how your own eyesight is relevant when making a choice. The comparisons and differences between bird watching and hunting requirements from an optic and discusses the aftersales support the company offers. All of this culminates into an episode full of advice and is not to be missed, especially if you  are looking to upgrade or purchase a new model soon.

This week’s episode is with Minna Borsuk, Chairman of the Bavarian Mountain Hound Society of GB (BMHS of GB), and was recorded live in the middle of a forest, so we apologise for any poor sound quality. We start off talking about her childhood, growing up in Finland where she had her first dog a Bedlington Terrier, how she became involved in the Dachshund world and about the training of the breed for hunting. We then go on to have a conversation about the BMHS of GB, where Minna tells us all about the breed and what the society does. So, if you have any interest in training dogs for tracking, Finland, Dachshunds or Bavarian Mountain Hounds, grab yourself a drink, sit back and listen, this is one episode not to miss.

In this episode we delve into the Game Dealing business. In particular we take a closer look at the Wild Meat Company in East Suffolk who source and sell venison, gamebirds, rabbit and even squirrel from farms, estates and hunters local to their area, all of which can then be ordered and delivered directly to your door.  Some of the topics we discuss are how and why they set up the business, how it has evolved, the benefits of game meat and how to cook it, how it is processed and the proposed new regulations regarding game to be shot with lead free ammunition. Whether you are interested in buying and eating game meat, possibly for the first time, or if you are a hunter that wants to know what happens to your quarry when it goes forward through the food chain, this is one episode not to miss.
