I'm not one for extreme heights so have been known to suffer from sweaty palms in any movie or footage with some gnarly rock climbing in it. And in last nights episode I was getting close to that...

This here is exactly what I mean by the can of worms. You have to draw a line somewhere. Hinds need to be shot and let’s be honest, the best time of the year to ethically shoot them (winter) is not...

As to the original question, yes illegal hunting and for that matter, anything else that brings our fraternity into disrepute pisses me off.
