Sam works as a professional hunting guide both in New Zealand and in Northern British Columbia, Canada. A candid and very honest conversation about the state of guiding, management, and outfitting in New Zealand. One of a handful of kiwis who make a full time living out of guiding, alternating between seasons and spending the majority of his life in out of a sleeping bag. Matt caught up with Sam in Canada, in transit fresh from a long NZ season on his way north prepping for the opening day of the stone sheep season in BC.

David Jacobs is a 4th generation taxidermist, he completed his first work at the age of 15, and has since continued to lead the way in taxidermy. Davids ability to represent nature is what drives him to be the best he can be. We discuss a few current topics that have impacts in the New Zealand hunting scene and joke about the weird and whacky of being a taxidermist.
