In this episode, Matt is joined by Michael, the creator behind Voice of the Hunter, for an honest and thought-provoking conversation about hunting, advocacy, and why it's more important than ever for hunters to stand together. Michael shares how he found his way back into hunting after years away, the influence of his grandfather, and how that passion eventually led him to create hunting content that educates, inspires, and gives ethical hunters a stronger voice.

The discussion explores the challenges facing hunters today, from firearm legislation and conservation debates to the importance of presenting hunting in a positive light. Matt and Michael talk about why accurate information matters, the role of advocacy, and how the hunting community can work together rather than against itself. They also discuss the value of creating hunting content, the realities of filming in the field, and the responsibility that comes with sharing hunting online.

The conversation then turns to hunting itself, covering thermal equipment, public land hunting, Sambar and fallow deer behaviour, reading the bush, and the lessons that only come from spending countless hours in the field. Michael shares practical insights into understanding deer movement, learning from mistakes, and continually improving as a hunter. It's an episode full of hunting stories, practical knowledge, and a passionate discussion about protecting Australia's hunting heritage for future generations.

A campfire recap of this year’s rut, with close encounters, hard lessons, a good buck on the ground, and the moments that keep us coming back.

In this episode, Matt and Dan sit down around the fire with a beer in hand to reflect on this year’s rut and everything that came with it. From early mornings and roaring bucks to missed opportunities and memorable encounters, it’s an honest look back at another season in the bush.

Matt managed to take a good buck this year, while Dan couldn’t quite back up the success of last season when he landed two impressive bucks. But as every hunter knows, the rut has a way of humbling even the most experienced hunters, and this year was no different.

Dan recounts an incredible stand-off with multiple does barking at him from under 20 metres, testing his patience and nerve as he tried to remain unnoticed. He also shares stories of calling in several bucks, only to watch them hang up just out of range, refusing to cross the fence and offer a shot. It’s those moments of anticipation, frustration, and excitement that make the rut so addictive.

While not every opportunity ended with a deer on the ground, the boys reflect on the great experiences, the lessons learned, and why time spent in the bush is about far more than filling a tag. With plenty of laughs and stories shared around the campfire, this episode captures everything that makes the rut such a special time of year.
