In this episode, Jacob from Tucker and Tine returns to talk through the realities of harvesting feral pigs for the table. We cover what to look for before shooting — including animal condition, behaviour, environment, and why selecting the right animal matters when your goal is quality meat.

They also discuss safety during field dressing, including hygiene considerations, handling practices, and reducing risks when processing wild pork.

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.

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.
