In this episode, Matt is joined by Conah from the Wilder Bowfishing and Fishing Facebook page to talk all things bowfishing for carp. We break down specific gear, personal preferences, and practical setup considerations, including bows, arrows, reels, and sighting systems. Conah shares what works, what doesn’t, and how small setup changes can make a big difference on the water.

The conversation moves into tips and tricks for strategy and stalking, from reading water and light conditions to approaching fish without spooking them. We also cover the rules and regulations around bowfishing, why knowing them matters, and how resources like the Angler Access website are invaluable for understanding where you can legally and responsibly access waterways.

We finish by discussing bowfishing as a powerful gateway activity for youth and how it builds skills, patience, confidence, and naturally leads into broader bowhunting and outdoor involvement. It’s an episode packed with practical advice, responsible messaging, and a genuine passion for getting more people involved in ethical, legal outdoor pursuits.

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.

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.
