Australian Hunting Backcountry

Tobias Turner

As the name suggests, the podcast is focusing on backcountry hunting, not only in Australia and New Zealand, but anywhere else overseas where great adventures exist. I want to bring a podcast that explores gear, places and hunting opportunities, lived experiences, different perspectives and share the passion that people have for hard earned hunts. I will also bring Australian and small businesses to the front, so listeners are exposed to some of the smaller or niche providers out there that support hunters and give hunters the chance to hear about things that they might want but didn’t know to look for. We will examine gear and hear why hunters want/need some products and might not need others, conduct comparisons between products and locations and discuss the work/life/hunting balance of hunters. The podcast will be educational and entertaining for hunters ranging from those who have no backpack hunting experience to those that consider themselves experts (as we can all learn something from someone).

    Special Ep. - UNITED WE STAND

    This podcast brings together a coalition of independent podcast hosts from across Australia to engage in a measured, evidence-based discussion on the proposed changes to legal firearms ownership laws in Australian states. We begin by acknowledging the horrific atrocities that have prompted renewed public debate. We extend our sincerest condolences to all victims, families, and communities affected. Their loss is profound, and it deserves both respect and seriousness in how policy responses are considered. Across a large portion of the Australian public, there is clear agreement on one central point: law-abiding firearms owners are not responsible for acts of terrorism or violent extremism. The hosts united in this discussion contend that altering existing firearms laws would not have prevented the actions of determined terrorist extremists, who by definition operate outside legal and regulatory frameworks. Within this podcast, these issues—and many others—are examined in depth. Together, the hosts seek to present a unified message of solidarity, advocating for rational policy, accountability, and integrity in public discourse. This is a refusal to accept scapegoating in place of confronting genuine governmental and procedural failings, and a call for solutions that are grounded in facts rather than fear. This is not a culture war monologue; it’s a plan built on unity and calm persistence. We ask listeners to act locally, communicate clearly, and check on their mates. If you care about hunting, target shooting, conservation, or simply fair process, this conversation gives you the words and the steps to make a difference right now. If this resonated, share it with a mate, sign the petitions, and send your email today. Subscribe for follow‑ups and wins, and leave a review so more Aussies can find this conversation. Thanks for all your support in 2025 - Tobias.

    Ep. 37 The Venison Diplomat and his children's book

    It didn't take me long to realise after I started chatting to Rob that we would be able to talk for ages. What started out as an invite to chat about the children's book he's written "I am a Deer Hunter" turned into touching on just about everything else. A passionate and, self-described, late onset hunter, Rob and I go down a few rabbit holes but eventually get around to chatting about the book. Having read it myself, this is something I wish I'd had when my kids were little. The book (and future releases) are available through the website; thevenisondiplomat.com.au or via Amazon. Copies are also popping up in some gun shops and other places. Please also don't forget to support Brad from 'Boars for a Cause' who is doing an amazing thing trying to fund raise for those less fortunate coming into the Christmas time of year. Get on board with whatever you can and you might even grab some awesome gear in the auctions.

    Ep. 33 Buff backpack hunt & Giveaway

    In July this year I travel to the Northern Territory with Lawson from Nature's Perks and a mate from Victoria to chase buffalo in a remote location via backpack hunt. This episode was recorded as a wrap up from the trip (while relaxing with a few beers) but more of the adventure will be shown in an upcoming YouTube video on the Nature's Perk channel. Big thanks to the boys for a great trip. If you are interested in a 2026 buffalo hunt in the NT, reach out to Lawson and he will assist to link you in with this adventure. If you are listening to this before Father's Day 2025, we are also running an Instagram giveaway and team up with Alpine Beards, On Track Meals and Venture Hunting & Outdoors. Head over to my IG page and get yourself in the draw before 8 September. I would also like to give credit to some of the music you hear from "The Beards" so please check them out here; SPOTIFY or wherever you get your music from.
