Seasons
Season 1
Join Chris Waters and a cast of expert guests as they embark on an adrenaline-fueled journey across the diverse landscapes of Australia. From the rugged peaks of the Northern Tablelands to the misty gullies of the Victorian High Country, Season 1 establishes the "field-to-fork" mission of The Huntsman. Facing everything from elusive Sambar deer to mountain goats and waterfowl, the team showcases the skill, patience, and ethics required to harvest organic meat in the wild. This debut season celebrates the start of a journey into the heart of the Aussie wilderness, where every hunt is a lesson in conservation and every meal is a reward for the grind.
Season 2
The Huntsman returns for a bigger, bolder second season that dives deeper into the technical and emotional heart of hunting. This season, Chris Waters and his companions push their limits across New South Wales and South Australia, utilizing cutting-edge thermal technology and traditional tracking skills to manage invasive species and harvest majestic game. From the high-stakes pursuit of massive water buffalo in the outback to the selfless joy of helping a mate secure their first deer, Season 2 explores the bonds forged in the bush. With an increased focus on wild game butchery and gourmet field cooking, it’s a raw and refined look at the modern Australian hunting lifestyle.
Season 3
In its most grueling chapter yet, Season 3 takes viewers deep into the unforgiving Victorian High Country. This season is a tribute to the "Ghost of the Bush"—the Sambar deer—and the dedicated hunters who chase them on public land. Facing sub-zero temperatures, dense scrub, and vertical terrain, Chris Waters and his team test their grit against Australia’s toughest hunting challenges. Beyond the hunt, Season 3 captures the soul of the high country: the campfire conversations, the camaraderie of shared hardship, and the profound respect for the animals that provide. It’s a season defined by persistence, where the mountain doesn't give up its secrets easily, and every success is hard-earned.
