In this episode of the Hunting Connection Podcast, I’m joined by Lawson White—a busy man with Bailing & Scaling & bbq podcast, Wild Game Open Flame, and Up North Adventures! I honestly thought this was just a catch-up episode, assuming he’d been on before, but turns out it’s his first time here. We’ve connected a lot over the years, and I’ve heard him on other Australian hunting podcasts like Australian Hunting and Beyond and The Hunter’s Campfire.

We dive into his past adventures, chat about the unique focus of each of his businesses, and hear about the new journeys he has on the horizon. This is one you won’t want to miss!

In this episode, I’m joined by Levi Peter, an Australian bowhunter living life on the road with his trusty pup, exploring and hunting across the country. Levi reached out to share his platform on Skool.com/lifeonearth, a dedicated space for outdoor enthusiasts to connect, share, and learn about all things outdoors. Tune in and enjoy the conversation, and be sure to check out his community!

In this episode of the Hunting Connection Podcast, I’m joined by Jack O’Neil, a passionate and relatively new bowhunter. Jack discovered bowhunting through podcasts and has built his knowledge and enthusiasm from shows like Becoming a Bowhunter, MeatEater, and other hunting-focused podcasts.

Jack’s had an incredible year with the bow, and after a recent hunt together, I knew he’d be a great guest for the show. Many newer hunters reach out to me for advice on everything from gaining hunting permissions to shot placement and gear. Jack’s journey, having learned much of this through podcasts and hands-on experience, is an inspiring example for those just starting out.

Tune in to hear Jack’s story and gain some valuable insights for newer hunters. Enjoy!
