Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

A Maps App designed for Aussie Hunters with Frank Megali & Rob Campbell
Q: What inspired the development of The Hunting App?
The decision to build The Hunting App came after Avenza raised prices for map services, which removed a free map option relied on by many public land hunters; Frank and Rob saw an opportunity to provide a free, community-focused map service that works across public and private land, with plans for paid tiers.
Public Land Hunting in Australia with Alex Proft
Q: How has the community supported the growth of bowhunting in Australia, and what role do mentorship and online media play?
Mentorship from experienced hunters (e.g., Dylan Smith, Bailey Simmons) helps newcomers tune gear and gain practical knowledge. Podcasts, YouTube channels like Aussie Bush Harvest, and community forums have been pivotal in sharing techniques, opening access, and building a supportive culture that advocates for hunting rights and education.
Public Land Hunting in Australia with Alex Proft
Q: What are the main challenges and opportunities facing public land hunters today?
Key challenges include political hurdles and licensing changes, limited access in some states, and the need to balance safety and ethics. Opportunities come from successful lobbying, club-based access, public awareness, mentorship, and a growing network of bowhunters and pig-dog hunters who push for broader access while maintaining responsible hunting practices.
Public Land Hunting in Australia with Alex Proft
Q: What exactly is public land hunting in New South Wales and how does a bowhunter get started?
Public land hunting in NSW is supported by an official R license system managed by DPI Hunting, with online testing and blocks of land available for booking up to four days. Bowhunters have a dedicated training module; new entrants should study the handbook, join local clubs or archery stores for guidance, and start with public land blocks to gain access and experience.
How to Cape a Deer for a Shoulder Mount | Brian Anderson
Q: What is the main incision strategy after the dorsal cut?
Work from the top down, opening around the elbow and pulling tension to create clean, straight cuts along the center and back, then proceed to skin the legs and neck in sections to avoid tearing.
