They are even planning on bringing some of the Buffalo back for the freezer.

HCP - EP96 - Roy Butler MP

Tonight, the campfire crew are joined by Roy Butler MP, member for Barwon in the NSW Parliament.

Around the campfire the guys cover off on a wide range of topics from politics, the supposed extinction of kangaroos, the genius of rewilding dairy cattle, hunting, shooting, rifle and gun collections.
 
Though for Mark there is a whole lot of reminiscing about road tripping with the family through far west New South Wales…
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

HCP - EP95 - Recreational hunters as citizen scientists with Ned Makim

Tonight, around the campfire with speak with Ned Makim about the Australian Pig Dog Hunters Association (APDHA), The Great Australian Pig Hunt and the 10,000 Ears Project.
Both the Hunt and Ear projects are examples of real hunter advocacy in action.
They promote and position recreational hunters as citizen scientists and environmentalists. It’s all about hunters collecting data that can be used to gain a better understanding of the numbers, location and movement of wild pigs in Australia and most importantly the efforts, and effectiveness of recreational hunters as a part of the solution.
