To kick off the year my eldest son Eli and headed up to the fringe of the High Country in Victoria for our first deer hunt of the year. Joined by my friend Matty Wright we were on a mission to fill the freezer and hopefully score a buck or a stag. What resulted was a bloody, hot, sweat-soaked hunt I’ll remember forever.

If you love deer hunting, hunting in Australia, fallow deer and aren’t afraid of a little blood you’ll love this video.

Too many hunters fall into the trap of keeping too many large cuts of venison in the freezer and then never get around to actually cooking it. Wasted meat should be a crime.

The reality is we are all time-poor and sometimes the best thing you can do is mince your deer and cook a bunch of easy dishes your whole family is bound to enjoy. Mince goes a long way too, cook chilli, spaghetti bolognese, lasagna, tacos, sausages or sausage rolls.

Mince is awesome, start using it. Start feeding your family.

Putting the work in before season 2 of The Huntsman making sure the zero on my @tikkafirearms Tx3 rifle is spot on.

With the assistance of the @ridgelineaustralia sled I’m shooing @sako_cartridges #powerheadblade 30.06 ammunition, which ill be using the whole season.

I tell you what, you can’t argue with the results.

Sako Powerhead Blade lead-free ammunition. Stunning ammo.

Turns out it’s a lot easier to break into an old digital gun safe than I thought!

Thankfully that’s NOT the case with my new @ridgelineaustralia 16 gun safe. Find out why…

I’ve just released a new podcast episode and YouTube video that addresses the issue of compliancy and how convenience is slowly killing our society and robbing people of their purpose and life.

If this resonates you can check out the full conversation linked in this short, via The Huntsman YouTube channel or via The Huntsman podcast.
