In this episode I am joined by Western Australian bowhunter Troy Morris to discuss all things bowhunting camels!
Originally from Victoria, a bowhunter for almost 40 years, Troy has been in WA for almost 30 years and dedicated his fair share of time to hunting camels.
We start off this episode recapping when Troy and I had a serious incident at home with a broad head injury before delving deep into the ins and outs of bowhunting camels in the west.
Camels aren't generally high on the list of species to hunt but I hope this episode ignites your interest. Hope you enjoy. Cheers!

Andrew "Robbo" Robertson joins the Last Light Podcast again.
A few weeks ago Robbo had a set of sambar antlers stolen from his camp! He put the word out through the socials and found the response surprising. Robbo is very experienced sambar hunter and in this episode he shares some stories of misadventure, heartache, close shaves, success and why he drives past sambar country to get to sambar country.

Part 3 of Hunting in New Guinea, in 1995 Mark Burrows travelled to Bensbach to bow hunt rusa. Mark was joined by two other bowhunters who all had success. We dig a bit deeper into the gear available in the mid nineties and the strategies used to bow hunt the open flood plains at Bensbach.

Part 2 of Hunting in New Guinea, David travels from the Septic River Region to Bensbach to hunt rusa. Another culturally rich experience where modern bowhunting meets traditional ways and hunt side by side.

In 1994 David Luxford joined a party in New Guinea to cull buffalo in the Sepik River Region. Given pretty loose details, he soon found himself guiding a party of Americans through the New Guinea wilds. A culturally rich and unique experience right at Australia's door!
