New affiliate partner and the pursuit of charitable status.

I’m excited to announce that Oz Fish and Game has been approved for Booktopia’s affiliate program! This is a free way for our viewers to support the website, while also getting a great deal on books.

How does it work?

Every purchase made through the Booktopia affiliate link will provide Oz Fish and Game with a small commission fee. This money comes from Booktopia’s profit and is not applied to your purchase price.

What will the funds be used for?

These funds will be used to maintain the free status of the website, create new educational content, and will financially assist our club in the pursuit of charitable status.

Why pursue charitable status?

Charitable status would allow Oz Fish and Game to apply for Government and community grants. In addition to this, if we were to be approved as a deductible gift recipient (DGR), it would allow hunters and fisho’s the ability to fund projects which directly benefit the environment and our community. These donations could then be claimed back on your tax return. It’s a win-win situation.

If approved for charitable status, what services would Oz Fish and Game provide?

The primary focus would be environmental conservation activities. Examples of this include, but are not limited to:
  • creation of artificial reef structures,
  • restoration of forests and farmland, and;
  • conducting local clean-up days.
Secondary activities would include:
  • provision of education and mental health support to members of the hunting, shooting, and fishing community, and;
  • where possible, advocacy for access and rights.

30-Second Fieldcraft: Stop, Look, Listen, Smell (SLLS)

The SLLS acronym stands for Stop, Look, Listen, and Smell. Its origins trace back to Special Forces, who used it to enhance situational awareness and adapt to unfamiliar environments. Many hunters have since adopted the concept with great success. The key to its effectiveness is that it forces you to slow down and analyse your surroundings before making a decision or moving further. By doing so, you’re far less likely to bump a deer or other game while moving through the scrub.

Success depends on preparation. In the context of equipment, it’s not just about choosing the right gear, it’s about knowing how to use it.

30 Second Fieldcraft: The Hunter’s OODA Loop

The OODA Loop was developed as a decision-making framework for aerial combat, designed to produce faster, more accurate responses under pressure. By consciously cycling through this simple 4-step process, pilots were able to outthink and outmanoeuvre their opponents in real time.

Today, the same principle is used everywhere from military strategy to business leadership, but it’s just as relevant in the field. For hunters, the ability to rapidly interpret new information and act on it can be the difference between a successful stalk and a missed opportunity.
