In this episode of the HTP Podcast, we catch up with Richard Fleming, a passionate bowhunter and rising amateur competition archer from the USA. I first met Richard in 2022 on a hunting trip right here in South Africa, where we spent two days together in a blind capturing two incredible bowhunts on camera for Episode 2 of Season 3 of Huntech Pro. Richard shares how he got started in bowhunting during his late teens—drawn to the challenge and the early season advantage it provided over rifle hunting. We dive deep into what drives him to hunt, the precision required to harvest whitetail deer, and the lessons he’s learned from the field. He also gives us an inside look into his current journey in competition archery, where he’s working his way out of the amateur class and setting his sights on the pro division in 2026. On top of that, Richard is preparing for one of life’s greatest adventures—becoming a granddad this September!
📌 Topics Covered:
• How Richard started bowhunting
• Filming hunts together in South Africa
• The challenges of hunting whitetail deer
• Ethics and mindset in bowhunting
• His journey toward professional competition archery
• Life, family, and future plans

Join us for an exciting episode of the Huntech Pro Podcast as we dive deep into the world of bushpig hunting with my lifelong friend, SJ Ras. Our hunting journey started back in 2005, and SJ was the one who first introduced me to the adrenaline-fueled challenge of hunting bushpigs. In this episode, we break down everything you need to know about bushpig hunting, including:
🌿 Identifying a feeding spot — signs to look for and choosing the perfect location for your blind.
🌙 Setting up for the hunt — night vision vs. red lights, baiting strategies, and monitoring activity.
📅 Building a feeding pattern — tracking movement with trail cams, watching moon phases, and picking the right night to strike.
🔫 The night of the hunt — scent control, staying quiet, and reading bushpig behavior.
🥩 Post-hunt processing — recovering the bushpig, field dressing, and making the most of the meat. SJ also shares the story of his self-filmed bushpig hunt, featured in Huntech Pro Season 2, Episode 6 — a true test of skill and patience.

In this gripping episode of the HTP Podcast, we sit down with Erin Throckmorton — host of Giving Back TV and booking agent with Tru Flight Adventures — to unravel the wild story of how our friendship began in the heart of Africa. We take you back to 2018, when Erin needed a film crew for his Zimbabwe hunt. What started as a simple job turned into an unforgettable journey across Botswana — sharing a room and bed on the South African border, buying an iron for a concession owner, missing the border post by 10 minutes, and spending an unexpected night in Botswana. But the real twist came when we uncovered a black market plot involving an elephant hunt… and had to plan Erin’s escape out of Victoria Falls. Since that chaotic adventure, we've built a strong friendship, editing Giving Back TV for years and hunting together across the world — including a recent trip to Great Falls, Montana, where Erin showed us the Missouri River Breaks and the Rocky Mountains. Join us as we dive into Erin’s role with Tru Flight Adventures, his upcoming hunts across Montana and the USA, and the powerful bond forged through shared hunts and wild experiences. 🎧 Listen Now & Join the Conversation!
