In Episode 21, I’m sitting down with David, the driving force and organiser behind The Stalking Show, to discuss the evolving landscape of the deer stalking community and what’s in store for this year's event. We are also joined by a very special guest, Andrea from the British Deer Society (BDS). Together, we dig deep into the vital role of ethical deer management, the importance of education in conservation, and how we can continue to bridge the gap between the field and the fork. From the logistics of putting on the UK’s premier stalking event to the nuances of sustainable population control, this episode is packed with insights for anyone passionate about the great outdoors and responsible land management. In this episode, we cover: The Stalking Show: What to expect and the mission behind the gathering. Conservation & Education: Andrea shares the latest initiatives from the British Deer Society. The Ethical Hunter: Discussing the importance of deer management in the modern UK ecosystem. Field to Fork: Why understanding the source of our food is more important than ever.
