Brian Barney

Some of you may or may not of heard the name Brian Barney, this little bowhunting ninja from Montana USA is a stand up guy, an unbelievable bowhunter and someone I get to call a good friend. Brian is well known for his own podcast Eastmans Elevated, many articles in Eastmans Magazines and featured in many of their films on Eastmans TV and Beyond the Grid with Dan Pickar. On my Elk hunt last year with Josh Rogers, we offered Brian to come down to Australia to hunt our Red Deer, Sambar and whatever else we could throw at him. Well it didn't take much arm twisting and the plane flights were booked. Here is the story of Brians first Red Deer hunt in Australia.  Be sure to check out Brians Podcast - "Eastmans Elevated" wherever you listen to your podcasts.

Brad Smith

Righto guys if you missed last week, I suggest downloading before you dive deep with Part 2. Honestly this podcast could have went on for hours, I hope one day I can feed Brad enough beers to do it all over again. 🎤 Q and A with Brad Smith - If this was to be one of the last podcasts I was to ever record, then I feel my job for the Australian Bowhunting Community would be done. For most Aussie bowhunters, the name Brad Smith has most probably been mentioned in conversation not just once but many times. For over 30 years Brad has been behind the bow and a good majority of those years filming each and every one of his and many others hunts. It would be no exaggeration that Brad has seen several thousand animals taken with the bow and what he hasn't seen probably doesn't exist or is yet to happen. Now Im one of the very lucky people to call Smithy one of my good mates and when he asked me to bring my gear over to Brad Murphys, Building Better Bowhunter courses in Tamworth, and record a Podcast in a Q &amp; A type scenario, it didn't take much arm twisting. For anyone that knows Brad personally, he is as humble as they come and hates any attention, so this 2 part podcast is so special in many ways. I cant thank Brad enough for this, its amazing what a 9:30am start on the Blackfish followed by a few Red fish can do for the confidence and nerves. (Great Northern Beers for those that don't have any idea what fish Im talking about). Massive thanks to everyone involved, special mention to Matty Moore and Brad Murphy for help making this happen!! This podcast is proudly bought to you by OSA Australia and Hoyt Bowhunting.

Episode #28: Hunting New Zealand with Tom Jones - Outfitter &amp; Guide

This week on HCDU is Craig's semi-live recap of his Mule Deer hunt in the high desert country of Nevada. . On this trip Craig was joined by close friend and Co-host Josh Rogers. Recording from camp and as the days tick away, the boys start going a little stir crazy and the shenanigans begin. . The high country desert of Nevada is a brutal climate with hot, dry, windy conditions throughout the day and dropping to almost freezing temps at night. . The Mule Deer that inhabit the area are extremely wary, evading predators every minute of the day and have very little movement throughout daylight hours making hunting these elusive deer challenging with the bow. . We have edited this one a little differently and hopefully you get to feel like you're  on the hunt with us. .       #podcast #hcdu #hunter #hunting #america #australia #worldhunter #kifaru

Al Kidner

There are people you meet in life, sometimes only brief, that you get a sense of wanting to know more. Al Kidner is one of those guys. I met him briefly at Wild Deer Expo last year and had his name mentioned on a very positive note in several hunting camps.  With no agenda, we talk Real Estate, Army and the The Brotherhood, Fatherhood and as usual a few hunting stories thrown in. We touch on people that have left a mark on our daily thoughts one way or another.  I really hope you enjoy this one, certainly not your average episode I don’t think.  Thanks again Al.  Remember to check out www.kayugabroadheads.com and www.bowhuntersdomain.com.au use code 'hcdu10' on checkout for a 10% discount on any order.

Episode #37: A Little About Life - Al Kidner - Part #1

Andy Donald

On this weeks episode, Alan Kidner sits down with Andy Donald following the Hunt Expo in Melbourne back in May.  . Being legally blind, very few would think Archery would a be sport to pursue, but Andy has made it part of his life, more so than most.  . Andy quotes “To say a lot with very little. This is often the creative goal of musicians, visual artists, dancers, actors, martial artists and ... archers.  It’s not the only way it can be done but it speaks to me and that’s why I love traditional archery. The longbow is a beautiful example of a simple idea with tremendous potential and even though this Montana longbow is a 20th century design made with 21st century technology, the basic shape and concept hasn’t changed in thousands of years. There’s something uniquely satisfying about hitting your mark with a simple stick and sting longbow”  .   This conversation is intriguing as Andy takes us through his archery journey.  .

Episode #26: Steve Speck - EXO Mountain Gear

Stalker Stickbows

On this weeks episode, Herbie is joined by South Cox of Stalker Stickbows, in South’s home in Colorado. South Cox’s interest in archery started at the age of five when he found an old wood recurve under a neighbour’s house. Despite having no mentor and growing up in a vegetarian family during his younger years, the instincts of the hunter ran deep.  At 16, he shot his first deer with a bow, cementing a lifetime commitment to the sport. In 2007, with 20 years of professional woodworking experience, South took over Stalker Recurves, reviving a company that had been dormant for the better part of a decade. Combining both of his passions; a profound love of woodworking and archery, he enthusiastically dove into the new venture. His keen eye for detail and diligent work ethic can easily be recognized in the artistic changes, additions and technical advances in the bow lines.  In 1989, South’s first bowhunting article was published, spawning a new career that would eventually have him published in a half dozen different archery magazines, contributing to a couple of bowhunting books and earning him a position as Field Editor of Eastmans’ Bowhunting Journal, a position that he still maintains. In 2012, with the blessing of his wonderful wife Kyri, after 25 years in construction, South decided to “retire” and take up bow building full time. Between writing and bow building, he is now fully immersed in the hunting industry, truly “living the dream!”. #stalkerstickbows #podcast #hcdu #hunter #hunting #america #australia #worldhunter #traditionalarchery #kifaru

Dave Whiting

Dave Keable

This weeks episode is a special one. Two of the top influential bowhunters in Australia...and two of our most prolific and dedicated hunters as well. If you have never heard of Dave Whiting or Dave Keable before...then this episode is a must for you. The Dave’s have been around continually taking game with the traditional bow for half a century, hunting with the best-known names in Australian bowhunting.  Dave Whiting’s reputation for whistling in hundreds of foxes has earned him the title of "MASTER OF THE FOX"...something his frequent well attended seminars reflect and keenly sought after. Whiting was Chairman of Trophy Takers for 32 years, steering his group of the best bowhunters in Australia, and possibly internationally, to rate bow harvested game which gun hunters are envious of. Dave Keable is well known for not only his hunting achievements but his bow making abilities with his “Raven Bows” along with being an incredible Knife, Arrow and Leathercraft Maker. Keable was one of the founding members of the well known Tully Bowhunters and shares this story of what formed part of an historic part of Australian Bowhunting. His incredible adventures by canoe along the Mitchell River in Northern Australia are captivating and your left wanting to hear more.  Listen as 2 great mates share their passion and life stories that has created a brotherhood never to be broken.  If your interested in joining a group of like minded bowhunters, be sure to checkout http://trophytakers.org A special mention to Steve Speck and his crew at Exo Mountain Gear as our new podcast sponsor.

Episode #23:  "Tradition" - Dave Whiting &amp; Dave Keable

This week Al Kidner sits down with Ky Furneaux after a recent late season hunt in QLD, in pursuit of Red Deer with Trad Bows in hand. Ky sure has packed a hell of a lot of life in a short time. From breaking her back at 19, being told she would be lucky to walk again, starting out in the stunt woman business and being a part of Hollywood’s high end films. To being on Naked and Afraid, walking across the Sierra Nevadas in the US for 100km with only a pocket knife and learning to shoot a recurve. Ky is a firm believer of making life an adventure, as it’s going to try it’s best to kill us anyway. Check out Ky’s adventures online at www.kyfurneaux.com or follow her @kyfurneaux on Instagram

*Language Warning*   Happy Australia Day Folks Welcome to the first episode of 2020 and what a great way to start. This week Tobie heads to Perth to catch up with two of the best in the west, Graham Cahill and Ben chambers!  Graham Cahill is a journalist who is most well know for his long term involvement in 4WD Action. Grahams life evolves around the Aussie bush and doing what he can to spend the most time in it. As an avid bow hunter Graham happen to find himself slinging arrows along side Ben Chambers, the only bow hunter to ever complete an ABA grand slam in 12 months!! Even with 3ft difference in height this odd couple  have been mates ever since. The boys touch on the finer things in life like being vertically challenged in long grass, assembling tents naked in the rain and stepping over your mates fresh poo to shoot a buck.  It's a long one folks so settle in and get ready for a laugh.

Episode #33: Elk Hunting for the Aussie with Captain James Nash 

Tobie Hynes joins me again for this episode and man did we jump all over the place. This podcast is like a broken arrow, it's still heading in the right direction it just has no real point. We missed it so many times. From the affects of drought on the deer numbers, changing their patterns and then throwing in the mix of the aerial culls and increased hunting pressure. We then jump on the social media band wagon and flog it to death, something that we have been tossing and turning about for sometime. It's not just the drought that changes the way we hunt, is social media dictating how you think it should be. Hunting to some of us is much more than a hobby or sport, to some its our life. This obviously has an affect on the way see it betrayed in the public eye, and some of us care to say something when things aren't right.

Frank Peralta

Thanks for joining us for another HCDU episode. Early in 2019 Rob Herbert on his annual trip to the US, caught up with Aron Snyder &amp; Frank Peralta of Kifaru International.  Rob discusses with Aron as the President of Kifaru what “Kifaru” is in ethos, product  and direction.  It’s a good discussion that evolves into what common ground American and Australian hunters share and how international friendships and ties are growing every year within the community. As always, a few laughs and a very poor attempt of Aron and Frank talking Aussie slang. Enjoy!!! #podcast #hcdu #australia  #mates #kifaru #kifaruaustralia
