We even have time to answer an audience question as well!

Tonight, around the campfire the crew kick things off with a continuing conversation about the new Queensland State Parliament, and the importance, or otherwise of voting.

Like always food is on the menu with Mark and Jono praising the eating qualities of Buffalo Biltong and Jerky. While it might seem far away the guys talk give a rundown on their planned scouting trips in preparation for 2025 followed by a discussion about the not so deadly Platypus and people getting attacked by Otters!

To top it all off, there is even some exciting news about soon to be released The Hunters Campfire merch!

Enjoy

Tonight, around the campfire the guys discuss the upcoming Qld State Election, The Hunters Campfire’s participation in a NSW Forest users study, getting ready for Deer season, Summertime shot gunning and turning Buffalo into burgers, biltong and trophy mounts.

What, huh, Marsupial Gear isn’t Australian, but there is a Kangaroo on it?

Ian makes a startling discovery about his new, favourite bino harness. The guys talk about the importance of quality gear. Mark gives an update of his Buffalo burgers, his Buff skull trophy preparation and the benefits of maceration.

Jono shows off his Biltong machine. The guys debate the value of a good sous vide. Together they figure out what exactly is a gaucho, and of course talk about what’s next on the hunting and fishing calendar…

Welcome to Blah, Blah, Blah Round 4

6 hunters, 1 armed with the struggle sticks, 2 vehicles, 2 trailers, a mountain of gear, 7 Buffalo, 10 pigs, about 100kg of meat, 1 bushfire, +6,500 kilometres and 75 hours of driving.

Welcome to our first dedicated Q&A podcast with Errol Mason, author of Secrets of the Sambar and the Hunt Smart System.

Tonight, we ask Errol, should hunters consider taking more Hinds to help control deer numbers?

To answer all your questions about buying your first, or next rifle tonight around the campfire we lay it out, from first thoughts to opening your wallet.

Along the way we take you through a step-by-step approach to make your next purchase, your best purchase.

This is the one you’ve been waiting for.

It’s time to celebrate hitting the ton with podcast friends Zach Williams, Matt Mc, The Frank, and Cody Gearon.

There’s some sledging, some more sledging and in between a little bit of serious stuff about the future of hunting and how we can all play our part in keeping it alive and thriving in Australia.

Tonight, the campfire crew are joined by Tom Auger, Managing Director of Pro Tactical and the official agent for John Rigby & Co (Australia and New Zealand).

With a long connection to the gun trade, Tom shares with us his journey from working behind the gun shop counter, to becoming the lead agent for the famous Rigby rifle brand here in Australia. The guys cover off on a wide range of topics from shooting, travel and the importance of positioning hunting in a positive light now and for the future.

Of course, the guys get caught up in the history of Rigby and what it's really like to own one of arguably the world best hunting rifles.

Tonight, the Campfire Crew chat about their early September return to the Northern Territory to hunt Asiatic Water Buffalo.

Whilst their first trip in 2022 was a real fly in, fly out gig, this time around the crew are road tripping it - with plenty of gear, plenty of tech and a little more experience on board.

They are even planning on bringing some of the Buffalo back for the freezer.
