In this episode of the Hunting Connection Podcast, I’m joined by Ian Hurley—better known as Hurls—from the Hunters Campfire Podcast!
We kick things off by diving into Hurls’ early connection with the outdoors, starting with solo backpacking adventures during his early teens. From there, he caught the hunting bug while chasing red deer alongside his uncle, which sparked a lifelong passion. After moving to Australia, that passion only grew stronger—especially once he joined the Australian Deer Association (ADA), where he found a like-minded community and really honed his skills as a deer stalker.
We also talk about how the Hunters Campfire Podcast came to be, with Hurls teaming up with Mark and Jono to share hunting stories, knowledge, and conversations from across the country. Hurls gives some insight into their mission, the values they bring to the hunting community, and what exciting things they have planned for the future.
It’s a great yarn with plenty of laughs, insight, and shared passion for the outdoors. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the episode!
