This week Jake catches up with Rhys Bosley A very interesting conversation with Rhys being very familiar with government polices in his line of work and is a huge advocate for State Forest hunting in QLD. Rhys and Jake work through the pros and cons of hunting in QLD and comparing it to the likes of NSW and VIC.  Rhys is a great voice for hunting in QLD and for all of us Australia wide. Be sure to follow State Forest Hunting for Queensland & Queensland State Forest User Alliance on Facebook to show your support and read further information. .
