From the ABC's  Bush Telegraph with Cameron Wilson, Young Australian volunteers unwittingly paying to prop up 'cruel' canned hunting industry: South African conservationist. oung Australian volunteers are flying to South Africa and helping to raise lion cubs in the belief that they are going to be released back into the wild, only for those lions to be used purely for canned hunting purposes. That is the allegation of Ian Michler, a South African journalist and conservationist who has lobbied internationally to close down the canned hunting industry. 'A lot of young students are being lured over there, they are paying up to $1,000 a week to breeders to go and work in these properties on the grounds that they are doing something constructive for conservation,' said Mr Michler. 'It's a con.' Canned hunting takes place in confined environments, where animals, most commonly lions, have been bred to be killed. It differs from more traditional 'fair-chase' hunting, where the hunt takes place in an area large enough for the animal to have a chance of escape. 'In this day and age, where everything is on demand, canned hunting is a form where you can get your animal a lot cheaper, you can get it in a shorter period of time, and it is guaranteed,' said Mr Michler. 'The animal has no chance of escape.'   Thank you to the ABC's  Bush Telegraph for this Audio

Terminal Ballistics Research (TBR) is a business that was formed to educate hunters and shooters worldwide.  This is delivered via their online cartridge knowledge base, thier tutorial books, hunting tutorial services and rifle accurizing services (including self learning via our bedding products and tutorials). Nathans hunting career started when he was a young boy with his father. He started with the .22 magnum, graduating to the Lee Enfield .303 at age 12. They came from a poor background and Their firearms and ammunition were always of equally poor quality. They wounded a lot of game. When he left home at the age of 16, he bought a Lee Enfield and used this for several years, moved on to the .243 but later settled on the 6.5x55 Swedish Mauser With in a few years hunters began to bring rifles to Nathan to either accurize or for help with reloading and load selection. Through these early encounters he discovered that some of the solution to effective game killing was teaching hunters about game anatomy and the importance of suitable shot placement. A major problem however, was the quality of both factory rifles along with some of the ammunition he had encountered. For each hunter whose rifle Nathan worked on, he found it useful to write a report, not just on work done, but also ways in which to optimize the usage of the hunters chosen cartridge, optimal sight settings and an effective game killing with prescribed loads The TBR website is now recognized internationally as an information resource that provides useful and meaningful research that is firmly grounded in reality. The site currently receives over 100,000 new visitors per month! http://www.ballisticstudies.com https://www.facebook.com/pages/Terminal-Ballistics-Research

Interview with Josh James Kiwi Bushman, find out who he is, what he does and his love for bow hunting. His aim is to start a television show so he can do hunt and fish  for a living and share the stuff that he does with the rest of NZ and the world. He spent his childhood years growing up in Napier south. Although he was a city kid my brothers and he spent every spare moment playing on the city outskirts pedalling their BMX’s far and wide to go fishing at the wharf or rabbit hunting at the old winery. Josh was a bit of a ratbag when he was a teenager and left home and school at the age of 14 to go work in the forestry and sheep shearing industry, as well as doing a heap of other odd jobs along the way. Josh discovered white water rafting in 1997 and this led me to the West Coast, He instantly fell in love with the wild and rugged beauty of the place, and back then there were deer running round all over the shop and the amount of crystal clear rivers was staggering, as were the fishing and hunting opportunities. There were possums in the bush back then as well so if a bloke ever ran short of a buck he could go bush for a few weeks and make enough dollars to gas the vehicle up and pay for food, beer and ammo. In the winters Josh was working in different countries around the world rafting and spending the spring and autumn in the bush hunting deer and trapping possums.   http://thekiwibushman.co.nz/   https://www.facebook.com/joshjamesnzhunter   https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCynWet3zR-Yu7xUVHjFq6hA

EP20 -Interview with Warren Bird, the New Zealand developer of the HECS patented apparel, find out how HECS came to be developed by a Kiwi.    Will HECS work for you? I was not convinced, but after talking to Warren I am going to give it a try!   HECS patented technology works by blocking the human electric signal. HECS is based on 3 simple scientific principles. 1: All living creatures emit a measurable electrical energy signal. 2: Many animals can detect electrical energy.  3: A conductive screen known as a Faraday cage can block electrical energy.  HECS Stealthscreen is made of conductive carbon fibers uniquely woven to block the human electric signal. HECS allows hunters, photographers, wildlife researchers and divers to get closer to animals in their natural undisturbed state.   You can see more about HECS at: www.hecsgear.com www.hecsllc.com
