    127. Eating feral pigs

    In this episode, Jacob from Tucker and Tine returns to talk through the realities of harvesting feral pigs for the table. We cover what to look for before shooting — including animal condition, behaviour, environment, and why selecting the right animal matters when your goal is quality meat. The conversation dives into tactics for targeting pigs effectively while maintaining ethical standards and making clean, efficient decisions in the field. They also discuss safety during field dressing, including hygiene considerations, handling practices, and reducing risks when processing wild pork. Jacob shares insights into best practices for skinning, breaking down the animal, and preparing it for transport and storage. From there, we move into cooking wild pig properly and what cuts work best, how to get the most flavour, and the importance of respecting the animal by using it well. This episode is packed with practical knowledge for hunters who want to approach feral pigs not just as a pest species, but as a valuable food source when handled correctly and responsibly.

    In this episode, Matt is joined by Brian Boyle — hunter, conservationist, and a key figure in the development of public land hunting in both NSW and the Northern Territory. Brian shares first hand stories from his time on the Game Council of NSW, reflecting on the early days of regulated public land access and the challenges of building systems that balanced conservation with opportunity. We dive into remote Northern Territory buffalo hunts alongside local Aboriginal communities, exploring the cultural connections to land and wildlife management in some of Australia’s most isolated country. The conversation also covers chasing Hog Deer on Sunday Island through the Australian Deer Association, of which Brian is a member, and the unique traditions and structure around that hunt. With decades of experience across hunting, policy, and advocacy, Brian brings a wealth of knowledge to the table. Now working with the Shooters, Fishers and Farmers Party, he offers perspective on the current political climate, the pressures facing hunters today, and where things may be heading. It’s an episode packed with stories, insight, history, and honest discussion about conservation and representation in modern Australia.

    123. Pig attack and Taxidermy with Brad Murphy

    In this episode, Matt is joined by Brad Murphy from Murphy’s Trophy Taxidermy to talk all things bow hunting and what happens after the shot. We dive into the realities of taxidermy, the difference between trophy mounts and meat-focused outcomes, and why preserving an animal properly is about respect, skill, and storytelling rather than ego. The conversation moves through practical topics like caping and skinning, what hunters should and shouldn’t do in the field to give their taxidermist the best chance at quality work, and common mistakes that can ruin a cape before it ever reaches the workshop. Brad also shares insight into working on feral pigs, unusual jobs, and how different species present different challenges. We don’t shy away from broader conversations either, touching on veganism, perceptions of hunting, and how ethical hunters can better explain what they do and why. It’s an open, honest episode that blends technical knowledge, personal experience, and thoughtful discussion around hunting and conservation.

    122. Australia Day Special with Woody Outdoors

    In this episode, Matt is joined by Woody Outdoors for an open discussion that blends culture, commentary, and concern for the future of lawful firearm ownership. We kick off with the now-famous belt-fed shotgun T-shirt and what it represents—humour, identity, and frustration within the shooting community—before moving into deeper issues affecting shooters across the country. Link to buy the shirt here. The conversation then turns to the current state of firearm ownership in Australia, examining recent legislative changes and the growing pressure on lawful, compliant shooters. Woody and Matt discuss where governing bodies and shooting organisations have fallen short, the lack of unified leadership, and how missed opportunities and poor strategy have contributed to the position shooters now find themselves in. Finally, we ask the hard question many are thinking but few are saying out loud: has the horse bolted for Australians under these new firearms laws, or is there still a path forward? The episode focuses on realism, responsibility, and what shooters can do next—without emotion, without recklessness, and without losing sight of the bigger picture.

    121. Talking shooting with Jay from Orange Accuracy

    In this episode, Matt is joined by Jay from Orange Accuracy as they break down the key factors that influence accurate and ethical shooting in real-world conditions. We talk about how heat affects both shooter and equipment, what it means for consistency, and how to manage fatigue and focus over longer sessions. The conversation moves into ballistics and distance, explaining how understanding trigonometry, trajectory, drop, and environmental variables helps shooters make informed, responsible decisions rather than relying on guesswork. We also explore long-range shooting fundamentals, with an emphasis on preparation, repeatable technique, and knowing your limits. Chronographs, Kestrels and ballistic calculator apps are discussed as a valuable tool for building reliable data, confirming muzzle velocity, and tightening confidence in your setup. Throughout the episode, the focus remains on being disciplined, knowledgeable, and ethical—continually improving your skills while prioritising safety and accountability every time you step behind the rifle.
