The Huntsman 2026 Plans & Reflections

Episode 19

Monday, December 8, 2025 • Duration 25:54

Every December I come back to this same spot in the state forest to take a breath, look back on the year, and talk openly about what’s coming next. 2025 was massive for The Huntsman — we launched huntingcourses.com.au, Australia’s new online hunting education platform, and we filmed (and started rolling out) Season 3. And we’re only just getting warmed up. In this video I share what’s ahead for 2026 and what you can expect from The Huntsman as we move into another big year. 2026 is going to be HUGE!

Taking ownership

Episode 18

Monday, September 8, 2025 • Duration 19:18

In this episode, Chris Waters reflects on a recent hunt where he recognised that he didn’t follow best practice as closely as he should have—specifically around the use of binoculars and the importance of identifying game. Using this as a learning opportunity also Chris unpacks the legal requirements around safe and ethical hunting in Australia, and why correct identification is non-negotiable.

The discussion also touches on a recent article in a hunting magazine highlighting a serious incident where a firearm was pointed at another hunter, thankfully without tragic consequences. Finally, Chris explores the importance of accountability in the hunting community, and how hunters can support one another in maintaining both high community and high standards of safety, responsibility, and respect in the field.

Are we living in Walt Disney Land? The plight of the Australian brumby. | Pete Christian

Episode 7

Sunday, March 19, 2023 • Duration 01:07:02

In this episode of the Australian Huntsman Podcast Chris Waters speaks with Pete Christian, a multi generational resident of the Baw Baw region in Victoria, Australia, a lifelong Sambar deer hunter and brilliant sambar hunting guide through his business Baw Baw Adventures.

During this conversation Chris and Pete discuss Pete's family connection to the region and how his grandfather migrated over after the war, how the Baw Baw regions sambar deer populations have changed and how the Australian government is handling the wild brumbies in the region.

You may not agree with everything Pete says (I don't), or the way in which he says it, but I encourage you to take the time to listen and evaluate Pete's position. People like Pete have a wealth of knowledge and wisdom that can be minded for those willing to put aside their agenda and see the person and their unique story underneath.

I (still) like guns | Australia’s biggest firearm legal battle! | Steve Lee

Episode 6

Wednesday, November 30, 2022 • Duration 01:30:26

In this episode of the Australian Hunters Podcast Chris Waters The Australian Huntsman speaks to Steve Lee, Australian Country music artist and host of the famous (some say infamous) Australian shooting and hunting YouTube channel 'I Like Guns'.

This is Steve's first media appearance since he lost his firearms licenses and permits (and over 100 guns) 10 years ago, in what became known as Australia's biggest firearms legal case.

In this conversation Steve and I go over genesis of the I Like Guns YouTube channel and it's rapid success, as well the legal case Steve Lee VS NSW Police department, that has only in the last 4 weeks reached it's ultimate conclusion with the return of Steve's permits and firearms (that's a over 10 years). We also talk about some of Steve's amazing hunting adventures, notably his British Columbia Moose and Bear hunt which you can watch on the I Like Guns YouTube channel (linked below)

You may or may not have a strong option on Steve's history or how compliment he was in the legal matters arising from that case, but what I ask of you is this as you listen to this podcast episode. Keep an open mind and see Steve for what he is, a man, a person of value. Someone who has lived through a life and context that we can only begin to understand, a person who loves life, relationships and people.

It's ok to have strong options on matters of law, in fact when laws are ethical we should champion and enforce them as a society. But don't make the mistake of being blinded by these options and miss out on the gold that lives within each of us, if we only dare look.

I hope you enjoy this conversation with Steve Lee as much as I did and can take away some knowledge, wisdom and learning’s.

Truth, lies, faith & silence in hunting | Dodge Keir

Episode 3

Wednesday, October 26, 2022 • Duration 01:52:41

In this episode of the Australian Hunters Podcast Chris Waters The Australian Huntsman speaks to Dodge Kier Australian hunter, hunting podcaster, international hunting booking agent and man of faith.

In this conversation we talk about what role truth has to play in the hunting community. Is it ok to lie or exaggerate the success of a hunt, the size of the trophy, the experience and story itself? Are white lies harmless if they help you connect with other hunters? We also discuss Dodges faith and how this interacts with his hunting worldview and lifestyle. Is it ok to enjoy killing an animal? (you might be surprised by Dodges answer). Finally we talk about silence in hunting, and how it brings out the best and worst in us. I hope you enjoy this conversation with Dodge Keir as much as I did and can take away some knowledge, wisdom and learning’s.

Pain, suffering, death & mental health in hunting | Liquid Antler

Episode 2

Saturday, October 1, 2022 • Duration 01:32:17

In this episode of the Australian Hunters Podcast Chris Waters The Australian Huntsman speaks to Jason Mensies from the popular Australian Hunting YouTube channel 'Liquid Antler'.

In this conversation we talk openly about the intersection of pain, suffering, death and in hunting. Jason opened up about a recent tragedy that saw two of his friends die from suicide last year and how used hunting and exercise as we way to make sense of the chaos.

Death is not an easy thing to talk about, but by doing to opening and authentically together we can try and make sense of it and grow together.

Suicidal thoughts can occur to anyone at any point in their life. They are more common than many may realise. Many people feel overwhelmed by pain, hopeless, worthless, isolated, or feel like there is no way out. While it is OK to have suicidal feelings, it is important to reach out and let someone know how you’re feeling. If you or a loved one is experiencing suicidal thoughts please call Lifeline on 13 11 14, they are here to listen and help you.
