In this episode, Zach is back on the podcast and shares one of the most stressful (and funny) hunting trips we’ve had on the show. From a successful red deer hunt near Bathurst to losing his car keys in the paddock, breaking into his own vehicle, and relying on mates to save the trip, this one has it all.

We also cover fox and rabbit control, spotlighting vs thermals, first impressions of thermal optics, and what really matters in the field. There’s a deep dive into the Lythgow Arms factory tour, Remembrance Day shooting on-site, and a proper rundown of the FoxTastic weekend and why it exists.

If you like real hunting stories, honest gear talk, and the kind of chaos that only happens when you’re tired, under-caffeinated, and miles from home, this episode is for you.
