Excellent listen if u love guns and hunting.
Always informative Hunting content. Particularly love the episodes about African hunting and the detailed rifle, cartridge, and bullet/ballistic information provided
Gday John from Australia. Enjoying your work mate so far but was wondering if you could do a podcast on double rifles for big game hunts? Things like calibres, companies that build them, the history and how they play a part in the African hunting history. Cheers mate!
Did you listen to the backcountry hunting podcast, skip this one. Literally copies the backcountry hunting podcast episodes topics and with the same guests. Literally had the same guy/theme on his podcast in the same week as backcountry hunting podcast
Great info as always
In one podcast last year or two, with one of your African colleagues, you two discussed Ruger rifles and which models were better for the heavy hitting cartridges. Which model did you prefer?
