n this special 3rd-anniversary episode of the Hunting Connection Podcast, I’m joined by returning guests Rodrigo Santos, Nathan Criste, and Jack O’Neil.

In this episode, I’m joined by Levi Peter, an Australian bowhunter living life on the road with his trusty pup, exploring and hunting across the country. Levi reached out to share his platform on Skool.com/lifeonearth, a dedicated space for outdoor enthusiasts to connect, share, and learn about all things outdoors. Tune in and enjoy the conversation, and be sure to check out his community!

In this episode of the Hunting Connection Podcast, I’m joined by Jack O’Neil, a passionate and relatively new bowhunter. Jack discovered bowhunting through podcasts and has built his knowledge and enthusiasm from shows like Becoming a Bowhunter, MeatEater, and other hunting-focused podcasts.

Jack’s had an incredible year with the bow, and after a recent hunt together, I knew he’d be a great guest for the show. Many newer hunters reach out to me for advice on everything from gaining hunting permissions to shot placement and gear. Jack’s journey, having learned much of this through podcasts and hands-on experience, is an inspiring example for those just starting out.

Tune in to hear Jack’s story and gain some valuable insights for newer hunters. Enjoy!
