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.

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.
