Meet Matthew Poulton
Where are you based?
South East Queensland
What type of hunting do you do?
All forms but mainly chase deer with a rifle. Both stalking and long-range.
How did you get into hunting?
Some of my earliest memories were of tagging along with my grandfather on his farm shooting rabbits for the table. Also got into fishing and spearfishing at a very young age. Been chasing all things tasty ever since.
Where is your favourite location to hunt?
Victorian high country
Tell us about your most memorable hunt
It's a toss up between shooting a hog deer in the ballot at snake island and a sambar stag that I saw three afternoons in a row before finally shooting it on the fourth one.
What are your top three "holy grail" items?
Scalpel knife, Leica rangefinding binos and water.
Why do you hunt?
Mainly because l love harvesting free range organic meat. If that meat has antlers attached all the better.
