Becoming a Bowhunter

This week Matty is joined by the ever-adventurous Ryan Anderly.

Ryan is a South African who found his love for bowhunting in New Zealand and now lives and hunts daily in Far North Queensland Australia. 

Given that Ryan is quite worldly he’s spent quite some time hunting many different critters from all over the globe. 

In today’s episode, however, we’re merely blessed by some of these great tales. 

Some of the topics: 

• Encounters that were too close for comfort
• Avoiding mishaps in the wild 
• Trophy Fallow Buck 
• Shooting reds at 1.5m with a bow
• Should you roar?
• Hunting the cape 
• Bowhunting abroad
• Upcoming trips
• Spot and stalk or from a blind?

And much, much more.

Imagine doing a job and getting paid to do what you absolutely love doing?

Well, that’s exactly the life Rob and Tracy from The Blonde Nomads have been able to build for themselves. 

What started out as a hobby of capturing the moment while out adventuring… Overtime moulded the life that the Morris family now live and enjoys.

It hasn’t come without hard work, dedication and gambling the comfort provided by regular full-time work and expectations of a “regular life.” 

However Rob, Tracy and the kids now often enjoy family holidaying around Australia. 

If you’re in need of a new family holiday destination, some trusted advice on gear for 4WD, camping or caravanning or travelling with a young family… Fair chance The Blonde Nomads have the content created that you need to see.

Rob being an adventurer and hunter for the majority of his life, it only makes sense that the bowhunting world drew him in. And although green to the space rob has the persistence and humility needed to do great things in bowhunting. 

For the rest of the insights, you’ll have to listen to the full episode.

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!
