On this episode of the Hunting Connection Podcast, I’m joined by Kade, aka Merman Spearfishing on Instagram!

Kade and I recently crossed paths on holidays at a hunters’ dinner I organised. We started chatting but didn’t get to finish the conversation, so when I realised I didn’t have an episode lined up, I hit him up and we jumped on the mics!

We chat about how Kade first got into spearfishing before eventually getting into bowhunting, the surprising similarities between hunting on land and underwater, his first hunts, and some of his most memorable hunting and spearfishing experiences.

It’s a great yarn about two different styles of hunting, the skills and patience they share, and the adventures and experiences that come with both.

Sit back, enjoy the episode, and thanks for listening to the Hunting Connection Podcast!

On this episode of the Hunting Connection Podcast, I’m joined by “The Frank”, who you might recognise from his guest appearances on other Australian hunting podcasts including The Hunters Campfire and Australian Hunting and Beyond.

Frank, Rob from Athena Spatial, and veteran owned Map Based Apps have taken on the challenge of creating something pretty cool for Aussie hunters — The Hunting App.

Made in Australia by Australian hunters, The Hunting App is designed specifically around hunting in the Aussie bush. It gives hunters offline mapping, GPS tracking, waypoints, hunt planning, topographic maps and the ability to mark camps, glassing spots, tracks, water, sign and more. It also includes the ability to upload NSW DPIRD hunting maps, Victorian DEECA hunting areas, licence storage, group hunt planning and plenty more, with the app available on both iOS and Android.

In this episode Frank and I chat about his own journey into hunting, how The Hunting App came about, what they’re trying to build for Australian hunters, and of course we have plenty of laughs along the way.

Hope you enjoy this one!

In this episode of the Hunting Connection Podcast, I’m joined by Brad from Aussie Bowhunting Apparel, who is also the man behind an awesome initiative called Boars for a Cause.

So, what exactly is Boars for a Cause?

It’s pretty simple — bowhunters get out there and chase pigs, while businesses and individuals pledge a dollar amount for every boar taken throughout the campaign.

At the end of it, those pigs turn into something positive for people who genuinely need a helping hand.

What started as an idea to bring the bowhunting community together has grown into something pretty bloody special. Last year, with the support of hunters, businesses and everyone who got behind the cause, they raised over $11,000.

That money went towards toys for children’s hospitals, grocery vouchers, blankets for Ronald McDonald House and support for kids affected by domestic violence.

No big organisation. No complicated bullshit.

Just hunters, businesses and good people getting behind a good cause and making a difference.

Hunt pigs. Raise money. Help people.
