Plus, of course, we regularly get off track and swap great hunting stories and tales of our favorite rifles. ENJOY! FRIENDS, PLEASE SUPPORT THE PODCAST!

| 4/17/26 |  Hunting Giant Red Stags in New Zealand | This episode comes at you raw, recorded beside a late-night fire in New Zealand's incredible mountain country. New Zealand is known for red stags of prehistoric size, mountain game that are incredibly unique, and the spectacular country that Lord Of The Rings was filmed in. In a hunters world, NZ is mostly special for the red stags.
