On this episode of the Hunting Connection Podcast, I’m joined by Dan and Nat from Boaring Australia! This pig-slaying duo from Queensland travel the country taking on wild pigs as both a second job and a passion. From running dogs, rifle hunting, and using thermals to even helicopter culling — these two do it all to help control feral pig populations.

We dive into each of these methods, the importance of what they do, and how they got started — thanks to a tip-off from Patrick at the Australian Recreation Union.

Hope you enjoy the chat! Be sure to check out their epic content and grab some merch at boaringaustralia.com.au — I know I will be!

In this episode, I’m joined by Cody Gearon, Brad, and Haydog as we recap our recent hunt with Cody—from our very first deer to the ultimate dream deer! We share our biggest mishaps and celebrate how our great mates saved the day. We also discuss our tour of the Lithgow Arms Factory and our encounter with Ian and Roma Fenton from the former Australian Bowhunting Museum. Enjoy!

In this episode, I’m joined once again by Dan from Eureka Outdoors (formerly Eureka Tactical). Dan is a qualified biologist specializing in invasive species management and is passionate about using hunters as a key tool in conservation. Through Eureka Outdoors, he works to educate both hunters and government agencies on how to collaborate effectively.

We chat about some exciting new projects he’s working on, including his upcoming children’s hunting activity book and a podcast on invasive species launching this year. Dan also shares the story behind his GMA job interview, just in time for duck season, and we discuss the unique mix of people he’s introduced to hunting and firearms—including some unexpected university friends.

Of course, there’s also plenty of general chit-chat—recent hunts, turning ideas into podcast episodes, and more.

You can support Dan and grab a Hunting Connection Podcast shirt, an Australian deer species poster, and more over at Eureka Outdoors.

In this episode of the Hunting Connection Podcast, I’m joined by Patrick from the Australian Recreation Union (ARU). The ARU was founded after existing organisations chose to focus on their individual pursuits rather than uniting against common challenges. For decades, recreational activities like shooting, fishing, 4WDing, riding, camping, and fossicking have been under constant threat from increasing legislation and land access restrictions.

Patrick shares how he and a dedicated group of individuals formed the ARU to bring these communities together, standing stronger in the fight against lockouts and overregulation. If you value your outdoor lifestyle, now’s the time to get involved—just like I did right after recording this episode!

In this episode of the Hunting Connection Podcast, I’m joined by Phillip Bigg, a Shooters Fishers Farmers candidate from Tasmania and the president of the Shooters Union Tasmania. We dive into Tasmania’s vibrant outdoor scene, explore his journey into politics, and discuss why staying engaged politically is key to preserving our lifestyle.

On this episode of the Hunting Connection Podcast, I’m joined by Alex, the WildFood Meister. We discuss his journey from growing up in Germany, where his passion for the outdoors began with studying local foraging and immersing himself in food-related knowledge, to moving to Australia and transitioning from spearfishing to hunting.

Alex also shares details about his upcoming events for Clean Up Australia Day, where he’s collaborating with Blood Origins Australia and other organizations. We explore how initiatives like this, led by outdoor recreation enthusiasts, can inspire similar efforts in other states.

Hope you enjoy this inspiring and insightful conversation!

On this special bonus episode of the Hunting Connection Podcast, I’m joined by Kate Fantinel, also known as Lady Liberty, to continue our discussion about the controversial new firearm laws in Western Australia.

This episode is part two of our conversation—if you haven’t already, check out part one on her podcast, Shooting the Breeze with Lady Liberty. Together, we finish breaking down WA’s new firearm regulations, the alleged corruption within WA Police and the Labour Party, and Kate’s take on the recent “gun rally.”

We also delve into Kate’s grassroots campaign to fight these laws in the courts. With a legal team that includes a King’s Counsel, she’s leading the charge to challenge parts of the legislation and provide shooters with the resources to take legal action. Kate explains why this fight is so important for preserving our rights, traditions, and way of life, as well as how you can help support her efforts through donations to her campaign.

Tune in for a passionate and insightful conversation about the challenges shooters face in WA and the steps being taken to defend our freedoms. Don’t forget to support Kate’s campaign and listen to part one of our chat on her podcast.

On this episode of the Hunting Connection Podcast, I’m joined by Ozzie Reviews, well-known for his popular YouTube channel where he tests firearms and advocates for pro-firearm rights.

We dive into the current state of affairs in Western Australia and across the country, discussing the increasing wave of unfair laws targeting not only law-abiding firearms owners but also outdoor recreational users. We explore the importance of unity within our community, emphasizing how we can use our collective voice to speak up and put an end to the infighting that holds us back.

Hope you enjoy this insightful conversation!

Happy 2025!

In this episode of The Hunting Connection Podcast, I’m joined by Tony Crooke from The Outerside Podcast!

I first came across Tony through a viral video he posted about a petition to stop NSW state forests from being handed over to national parks. His passion for protecting public land access struck a chord, so I reached out to have a chat about it.

We dive into Tony’s love for the outdoors and the story behind The Outerside Podcast, where he inspires listeners to embrace adventure and explore the great outdoors — whether it’s through 4x4 adventures, camping, hunting, fishing, diving, or anything in between.

It’s a great conversation about preserving access to our wild places and encouraging people to spend more time outside living real experiences.

Enjoy!
