Recorded April 14th… Right in the middle of the rut for Red and Fallow Deer in Australia! 

While Matt’s best interest were in helping others during this years rut…

Karma and good will had different plans for him.

While on a hunt helping a friend (Mike) who was reasonably new to bowhunting…

Matt and Mike decided to split up…

That faithful moment had Matt barking up the tree of a trophy Buck. 

One that is soon to be mounted on his wall! 

Great stories and an interesting chin wag in this episode as Matt shares some of his thoughts, tricks and tactics he uses year after year to chase fallow bucks during the rut!

Building fitter, healthier and just down right better Bowhunters

This is a solo-side from Matty’s last hunting weekend before his 2nd baby arrives! 

You’ll quickly come to learn that this unfortunately was not a hunting filled weekend.

But in fact a weekend of giving back to the farmers. 

Although they are my family, they still give Matty so much with the access he’s granted! 

So when Mother Nature comes roaring… Matty was happy to be there to lend a helping hand!

This week Matty is joined by repeat guest Emily Corbett! 

Emily gives us a quick update on how far she has come as a bowhunter since the last episode... And then we’re straight into the hunting chital stories! 

Over the course of 5 or so hunts vary from a few days to multiple weeks… Emily was able to achieve a huge goal of getting a representable Chital deer stag down. 

To Emily, the trophy of this Chital stag hanging on her wall will be more than just another hunt. 

It’ll be an emblem of what happens when you work hard. 

When you hop up after being knocked down. 

When you have the courage to learn from your mistakes.

The meat that she cherished with her loved ones… Including her dog! 

Ans most of all. 

A reminder that anything is possible when you set your mind to it!
