Dan Ferguson - Saddle Hunting Whitetails & Chital

Ep 19 Stewart Island breakdown

This episode shares two very different stories from our trip to Stewart Island. Nigel Morris is first on the mic and shares his experience of the Island taking a whitetail buck from a tree stand. From about 50 minutes in, Russell Cornall is up next to share his story and insights from taking an old whitetail buck. I even tell a story in this one since Russell’s and my trip was intertwined. Lots of insights from what can be considered the South Pacific’s most logistically challenging hunt.

Dan Ferguson - Saddle Hunting Whitetails & Chital

On our trip to Stewart Island, Dan successfully hunted whitetails with a tree saddle. This episode was going to be Dan’s Stewart Island story but it quickly grew into something more. Dan describes the reason for exploring saddle hunting and shares his journey and successes, from how quickly he had success on chital stags to taking his whitetail. He breaks down his Stewart Island adventure and gives his take on the grey ghosts we chased. He wraps up the episode with the second week of the fallow rut. This episode explores the intricacies of saddle hunting you may struggle to find on YouTube. It’s a must listen if you’ve ever considered elevated hunting.

In this Episode, I am joined by Robbie Austen of Terra Firma Archery. Robbie is a highly achieved bow hunter with a ton of experience from Australia and the globe.

Ep 15 Ben Salleras Fiordland

EP 15 - Ben Salleras shares his epic tale of success in Fiordland. Taking a wapiti bull with a bow is a mean feat achieved by only a handful of bowhunters. In this episode, Ben tells the story of how it went down. He describes Craig’s misadventure and how they had to navigate an injury. We also pick apart a few bits of kit that they relied. Even if hunting in Fiordland isn’t on your radar, this is an awesome listen that you are sure to get something out of.
