A close call with a charging feral pig, hunting from motorbikes, duck hunting, and the importance of getting the next generation into the bush with Craig from Salty Hunters.

Matt is joined by Craig, one half of the Salty Hunters, to talk through a recent and intense encounter where a feral pig charged in close, forcing a split-second response to stop it before it reached him and his motorbike. It’s a raw story that highlights how quickly things can escalate in the field and the importance of staying prepared, aware, and in control at all times.

We then dive into hunting pigs from motorbikes, discussing the strategy, mobility, and techniques involved when covering ground in open country. The conversation also moves into duck hunting, access, and why making the effort to get out into the bush is more important than ever.

A key theme throughout the episode is bringing younger people into hunting — how to engage them, build skills, and create positive experiences that keep the next generation connected to the outdoors. It’s an episode full of real-world experience, practical insights, and a strong reminder of why we do what we do.
