Welcome to Episode 100!

Nearly four years into the podcast, and what a journey it’s been! I just want to say a massive thank you to everyone who’s listened, shared, and supported the podcast along the way—it truly means the world.

For this special milestone episode, I’m joined by two of my favourite people from the outdoor recreation community: Carly from Victorians Against the Great Forest National Park and Marcus (aka Oz Camper) from Bush Culture. Both have had a big year since they were last on—Marcus has been dealing with a broken back, sharing spooky stories, and continuing his adventures with Bush Culture, while Carly’s been flat-out with national park advocacy, Clean Up Australia Day, copping hate from greenies, and plenty of laughs in between.

Make sure you check out their pages and stick around ‘til the end for some AI-generated songs 🤖😂

Once again, thank you all for the love and support over these first 100 episodes. Here’s to the next hundred!

In this episode of the Hunting Connection Podcast, I’m joined by Mark van den Boogaart from The Hunters Campfire Podcast! Mark is a seasoned hunter, shooter, and a long-time contributor to some of Australia’s top outdoor magazines. I first came across his work in Sporting Shooter back around 2009–2010, and I’ve been a fan ever since. I’m a big supporter of The Hunters Campfire Podcast, so it was a real pleasure to have Mark on for a chat. I hope you enjoy this episode—and don’t forget to follow Mark and the team from The Hunters Campfire on all podcast platforms, social media, and YouTube!

In this episode of the Hunting Connection Podcast, I’m joined in the studio by Daniel Pedler (@pedds_66 on Instagram). Daniel has been a long-time listener, and after my recent trip to New Zealand, he reached out asking for a recommendation for a guide. After some conversations with Jurgen, Daniel was keen to jump into a free-range backpack hunt — so I connected the two of them. This year, Daniel finally made it over for his hunt with Jurgen. Sit back and enjoy hearing the story of his first New Zealand tahr adventure!

Make sure to give him a follow!
