Hunting Camp Downunder Podcast

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. 

Welcome to the show!!!
Alan Kidner caught up with Ben Salleras over a few drinks for an exclusive episode on Ben's trip to Greenland in pursuit of MuskOx.
Battling severe elements that no man could ever prepare for, the eventual outcome of this story is one most will simply only ever dream about.
As usual with these 2, plenty of laughs and topics chatted about.
Any questions from the show, don't hesitate to shoot an email to huntingcampdownunder@gmail.com

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.

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

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.
