The following is a conversation with Matty Wright, renowned hunting dog breeder, hunting guide, one of the most beloved personalities in the Australian Hunting community, and good friend of mine.In July of 2023 Matty and his nephew were involved in a tragic hunting accident that made nationwide news in which Matty's nephew was shot. During this conversation, Matty and I explore in detail what happened during this accident, making a point of not shying away from difficult moments or painful emotions.

Whenever a story like this comes out there is a temptation for people to make rash uninformed judgments in social settings, quickly pointing the finger of blame. This is neither helpful nor productive.
It's ok for us to listen to stories like Matty's and have options. But I would ask that when you share these options you keep in mind that this is sensitive and complex topic. That what we are seeing and hearing is a slice of the story, and that human beings have value and are worth our respect, judgements aside. There are no winners in this story, only heartache and suffering, and it's our job to care for and love the people involved. To help them move through the trauma towards a happy life.
