  • Ep. 222 An Australian Backcountry 1st Sambar Stag for Joel Fulton with Daniel Mummery
    Aug 16 2024

    Send Travis a Text Message

    If you've listened to this show you are familiar with a couple of my Australian friends, Joel Fulton and Daniel Mummery. A couple months ago, Daniel was able to get his first sambar deer stag. In early August, he and Joel went deep into the backcountry by bicycle and Joel was up on the trigger this time. With Daniel having some back trouble, they weren't sure how the hunt would go and some doubts started to creep in. All of a sudden, God decided to give them a gift.
