In this episode, I (Chris Waters) clear up some misconceptions about both public and private land hunting in Australia, and discusses the unique benefits each offers.

Many of you have voiced your concerns about the amount of private land hunting you've seen me doing recently in Season 2 of The Huntsman.  

Given my almost exclusive background in public land hunting I think the assumption people have at the moment is that I've changed, and now all I'm doing is private land hunting???

The good news is that I've hitting the public state forests more then ever in between filming episodes for the show... You're just not been seeing these hunts in my videos.

Why? Well this is because I've set aside this time just for me. It's my personal hunting time, something sacred I can retreat into without the pressure of 'producing' something. Just me, my rifle and the wild places and animals. Nothing else.

This is how I've been protecting my love of hunting, whilst still getting out there and producing quality hunting content.

The good news is that there is plenty of public land hunting coming up in the second half of Season 2. So I hope that those of you who enjoy public land hunting (like me) get something out of it.

Given peoples concerns I have been thinking about the topic quite a lot. And in true The Huntsman style I've recorded a video tackling this prickly topic.

Is one better then the other? Is private land hunting even hunting???? What about 'high fence' hunting? Tune in to hear my thoughts.

In this episode of the Australian Huntsman Podcast Chris Waters speaks with Pete Christian, a multi generational resident of the Baw Baw region in Victoria, Australia, a lifelong Sambar deer hunter and brilliant sambar hunting guide through his business Baw Baw Adventures.

During this conversation Chris and Pete discuss Pete's family connection to the region and how his grandfather migrated over after the war, how the Baw Baw regions sambar deer populations have changed and how the Australian government is handling the wild brumbies in the region. 

You may not agree with everything Pete says (I don't), or the way in which he says it, but I encourage you to take the time to listen and evaluate Pete's position. People like Pete have a wealth of knowledge and wisdom that can be minded for those willing to put aside their agenda and see the person and their unique story underneath.

In this episode of the Australian Huntsman Podcast Chris Waters speaks to Kyal Grant, personal friend, Queensland antique rifle hunter and all round deep thinker. The guys talk about the value of an animals life, the suffering that's required to obtain it and whether or not we can kill animals while maintaining our ethics.

Kyal has some interesting and unique positions on 'right' and 'wrong' as well as the value of personal suffering as it pertains to growth favouring a self hatred that many people would struggle to understand.

In this episode of the Australian Hunters Podcast Chris Waters speaks to Ian Hurley co host of  @TheHuntersCampfire  podcast and past president of the Queensland ADA branch. During this conversation Chris and Ian talk about Australian hunting clubs, the good, the bad and the ugly. Ian shares his unique insights having been involved in a few different clubs, leading clubs as well as starting his own new venture and has some fantastic insights worth hearing.

What Ian and I both agree on is that it's important for Australian hunters to be involved in a hunting club. It's through healthy clubs that you can learn  and develop your craft as well as grow and connect with other hunters.
