Summary

Ep. 120: Australian Outdoorsman Dave Byrnes

Join us for a journey Down Under with Dave Byrnes, host and founder of Australia’s best hunting and shooting podcast, The Hunting Arete. Byrnes, of Newcastle, New South Wales, is a tradesman, father, aficionado of fine guns and wanderer of the wildest bush country of the strangest continent. We talk hunting tahr above the glaciers of New Zealand (ice axes required!), Sambar in the mountains of New South Wales, rusa, chital, fallow, hog deer, water buffalo, free range donkeys and run-amok feral camels. It’s wild ride of a conversation. Bring your translator if you don’t speak Aussie, and marvel at a whole ’nother world of hunting and conservation and public lands fights, right here on planet Earth.
