This episode is a conversation with Francesco who is a veterinarian and wildlife photographer/filmmaker for Altitude and Trails, a hunting media project. During our conversation we talked about how to inspect animals you hunted, or raised, for signs of disease, so that you can decide if you want to use them as food. We also go over some specific data points hunters can collect to gain an understanding about the health status of wild populations in their local area.

Episode Overview:

Francesco's background as a vet and hunter
Discussion about animal disease and how to tell the difference between healthy and diseased organs to help you make better decisions about the health of the animal
Finally, we talk about hunting in Italy and NZ, and some of his favorite wild game cooking
