Public Land Hunting in Australia with Alex Proft
Public land hunting in Australia gives hunters access to millions of acres of huntable country, but getting started can be confusing. Alex Proft from Aussie Bush Harvest breaks down the NSW public land hunting system, how the R Licence works, where you can hunt, and why public land remains one of the best ways to build hunting skills and experience. The conversation also covers bowhunting, Sambar deer, public access, hunting culture, conservation, and the future of hunting opportunities in Australia. Alex shares stories from years of hunting public land and explains why learning a piece of country can be more valuable than constantly chasing new locations. What You'll Learn • How the NSW R Licence system works for rifle hunters, bowhunters, and pig doggers • Where public land hunting is available in New South Wales • Why public land hunting helped develop Alex's bowhunting skills • The differences between public land and private property hunting • How hunting pressure changes deer behaviour on public land • Why Sambar deer thrive in remote public land country • The challenges facing hunting access in Australia • Why hunters, fishers, campers, and outdoor users need a stronger collective voice About the Guest Alex Proft is the creator of Aussie Bush Harvest and has spent years documenting hunting, fishing, bushcraft, and outdoor adventures across Australia. He's well known for his public land hunting content, thoughtful approach to hunting, and his passion for helping new hunters get started.

Why Hunters Miss Easy Shots Under Pressure with Amon Woulfe
In this episode of Becoming a Bowhunter, Matty is joined by Amon Woulfe to discuss one of the most overlooked aspects of hunting, sport, business and life... the mind. After a missed opportunity on a mature stag during the red deer rut, Matty shares the story that led him to Amon's new book, Missing In Action: Master Your Mind in Moments That Matter. Amon has spent years working with elite athletes, sporting teams, military personnel and business leaders, helping them understand what happens when pressure rises and performance falls away. Together, Matty and Amon discuss target panic, pressure, fear, confidence, anxiety, resilience and the mental tools hunters can use when everything is on the line. This episode isn't just about bowhunting. It's about understanding what happens when your mind leaves the moment and learning how to bring it back when it matters most. 🔍 What We Cover: • Why the modern mind is under more pressure than ever before • The connection between target panic and mental performance • Why pressure is the gap between your mind and the moment • How elite athletes train their minds for high-pressure situations • The difference between physical resilience and mental resilience • Why focusing on outcomes can sabotage performance • The four low-performance mind states: agitated, anxious, critical and foggy • Practical reset tools to regain control when pressure builds • How breathwork affects performance and decision-making • Why anxiety often comes from avoiding fear • The role of self-belief and limiting beliefs in performance • How these mental skills apply to hunting, business, parenting and everyday life And a heck of a lot more. 🧠 Key Takeaway The goal isn't to eliminate pressure. The goal is to stay present when pressure arrives. The moment your mind drifts into the future, the past, fear, outcomes or self-doubt, performance starts to suffer. Learning how to reset and return to the moment may be one of the most valuable skills you'll ever develop. 🔗 Find Our Guest Amon Woulfe Website: amonwoulfe.com Human Performance Group: humanperformancegroup.co Instagram: @amonwoulfe 🎙 Follow Becoming a Bowhunter Instagram: @becomingabowhunter.podcast Hosted by: @mattyafter 🎧 Episode Sponsors Dog and Gun Coffee – Fuel your hunt with premium coffee.

Hunting Sika Deer in New Zealand with Cam Speedy
In this episode, Matty sits down with New Zealand ecologist and Sika Foundation member Cam Speedy for a deep dive into Sika deer, deer ecology, habitat management, and the role hunters play in conservation. Cam shares decades of experience working in wildlife management throughout New Zealand, including predator control, deer tracking studies, biodiversity work, and research around Sika deer populations in the Central North Island. The conversation explores how deer density directly impacts habitat quality, breeding success, antler growth, and overall herd health. Cam explains why healthy hunting systems rely on balanced harvests, particularly around female deer, and how hunters themselves often act as the primary predator within modern deer systems. There’s also a fascinating breakdown of Sika deer behaviour, including rut timing, scrape systems, home ranges, dispersal patterns, and why Sika have become such a sought-after species for bowhunters. This is a grounded conversation that blends science, practical hunting knowledge, and conservation into one of the most detailed discussions we’ve had on deer ecology and management. 🔍 What We Cover: Cam’s background in ecology and wildlife managementPredator control in New Zealand and the impact of stoats, rats, cats, and possumsWhy healthy habitat is the true foundation of sustainable huntingSika deer history in New Zealand and how they became establishedWhy Sika outcompete red deer in certain environmentsThe relationship between nutrition, breeding success, and antler growthWhy hunters should focus more on harvesting femalesHow overabundant deer populations damage habitat and herd qualityJaw studies, herd analysis, and measuring deer conditionGPS collar tracking and what it revealed about Sika movement patternsSika rut behaviour, scrapes, and vocalisationsHow to call Sika stags during the rutWhy Sika are such an exciting species for bowhuntersPublic land vs helicopter-access hunting in New ZealandThe role hunting organisations play in protecting hunting’s futureRetaining hunting’s social license through education and responsibility 👤 Find Our Guest: Cam Speedy Instagram: @SikaFoundation 🎙 Follow Becoming a Bowhunter Instagram: @becomingabowhunter.podcast Hosted by: @mattyafter 🎧 Episode Sponsors: Dog and Gun Coffee – Fuel your hunt with premium coffee.
