Saturday Jul 06, 2019
Saturday Jul 06, 2019
In this weeks episode, we go back to Alan Kidner’s first time as host at the Melbourne Hunt Expo and he is joined by the very accomplished and well spoken Emma Sears.
Emma grew up in a farming family in Stratford, in Victoria's East Gippsland, and was out hunting ducks, rabbits and foxes at a young age.
As an older teenager she started learning how to hunt deer and other game.
These days you will see Emma on some serious adventures around the world, including conservation efforts in Africa to hunting Brown Bear in Alaska and then brings it right back to hunting Sambar in her home state of Victoria.
Thank you Emma for sharing your story and I hope everybody enjoys Emma’s journey.

Kimmi has quickly become a known name amongst the Australian Bowhunting community and for good reason. With her partner Ivan, Kimmi has immersed herself into a life of bowhunting, learnt the basics and met the right people along the way.
She recently became the new female editor of the Australian bowhunting magazine ‘Bowhunting Downunder’. Through this new role, she hopes to influence more individuals, especially fellow females, to experience this lifestyle thats loved by so many of us already.

Episode #40: Expectations - In more ways than 1
Wednesday Mar 20, 2019
Wednesday Mar 20, 2019
Tobie Hynes joins me again for this episode and man did we jump all over the place.
This podcast is like a broken arrow, it's still heading in the right direction it just has no real point. We missed it so many times.
From the affects of drought on the deer numbers, changing their patterns and then throwing in the mix of the aerial culls and increased hunting pressure. We then jump on the social media band wagon and flog it to death, something that we have been tossing and turning about for sometime.
It's not just the drought that changes the way we hunt, is social media dictating how you think it should be.
Hunting to some of us is much more than a hobby or sport, to some its our life. This obviously has an affect on the way see it betrayed in the public eye, and some of us care to say something when things aren't right.

Episode #39: Beyond Limits - Pego Novakovic
Tuesday Mar 05, 2019
Tuesday Mar 05, 2019
A huge part of why I started the podcast was to hear the stories of hunters, that slip under the radar, that are selfless and super humble. This day and age it seems that a large majority hunt for the ‘gram’ but thankfully there are still many that are all about there fulfilling their own quests.
Pego has one amazing story. From being born and growing up in Croatia, the challenges he faced,moving to Australia and being lucky to meet the people he did, being in the right place at the right time. Pego is a proud, humble husband and father that dreams of his next adventure and what he can find on the other side of the mountain.
If Pego’s story doesn’t stir something inside you, I don’t know what will.
I really hope you enjoy this one, I sure did.
Thanks again Pego

Episode #38: A Little About Life - Alan Kidner - Part #2
Friday Feb 15, 2019
Friday Feb 15, 2019
PART 2
There are people you meet in life, sometimes only brief, that you get a sense of wanting to know more. Al Kidner is one of those guys. I met him briefly at Wild Deer Expo last year and had his name mentioned on a very positive note in several hunting camps.
With no agenda, we talk Real Estate, Army and the The Brotherhood, Fatherhood and as usual a few hunting stories thrown in. We touch on people that have left a mark on our daily thoughts one way or another.
I really hope you enjoy this one, certainly not your average episode I don’t think.
Thanks again Al.
