Lone Star Outdoor Show

The elephant in the room must first be addressed in the form of Rep. Andrew Clyde (GA-R) recently introducing the RETURN (Repealing Excise Tax on Unalienable Rights Now) our Constitutional Rights Act in the U.S. House of Representatives. This proposed bill would essentially gut the Pittman Robertson Act of 1937 which we all know is [...]

Braden Sherron lives to hunt big fish below the surface in the Gulf of Mexico and he recently made headlines when he speared this giant 137 lb cubera snapper. We discuss the ins and outs of what it takes to be a successful free diver and spear gun hunter. There's alot that goes into the [...]

40 certainly hurts more than 30. However, between the rigors of hunting, the gym and still playing competitive sports,  I've finally found something that helps keep the unwanted pleasures of aging at bay. I discovered cryotherapy about 18 months ago and have been a staunch believer in it's benefits ever since the first time I [...]

Beau Martonik reminds me alot of myself. We're both big whitetail hunters who live in areas void of most other big game hunting opportunity. So, in both of our cases the West called and we answered. We discuss our similar backgrounds and compare the similarities and differences between Texas and Pennsylvania deer hunting culture. Then [...]

Larger than Life is the only way to accurately describe former MMA headliner, Green Beret sniper, entrepreneur, and unapologetic Patriot Tim Kennedy. So it goes without saying that I jumped at the opportunity to visit with him. We discuss how his failures in life ultimately laid the foundation for his success. Much of those failures [...]

When I heard Secretary of Interior Deb Halaand did away with a government website that lists the Department of Interior's spending concerning legal payouts, court and attorney fees when dealing with anti hunting organizations I was instantly infuriated. Infuriated that she has the audacity to hide the way our tax payer dollars are spent negotiating [...]

You guys know I am a huge fan of SCI. Not only are they the title sponsor of the show, but they're also the most important voice/organization that we have when it comes to fighting for our rights through the sustainable use hunting model. But what is the SCI Foundation and how does it work [...]

GSM Outdoors owns scores of brands within the outdoor space. One that I've enjoyed working with for over a decade now is Stealth Cam. GSM's Chris Dunkin joins the show this week to discuss the latest cellular camera technology from all three of their brands (Stealth Cam, Muddy and Wild Game Innovations). These cameras have [...]

You may have seen hunting organizations like SCI bring the New Mexico bighorn sheep tag situation to light recently as a group of New Mexico residents appear up in arms over how the state dishes out big horn sheep tags to residents and non-residents. Does one group really want to cut non-resident tags out of [...]

I have known Hunter McWaters via social media channels for a few years now. His story isn't unique in the fact that like many of us whitetail hunters, we felt the call to head West in search of adventure and hunting opportunity. However, starting your own outdoor media company and essentially going for broke in [...]

When Kamanu Gomes reached out to me wondering if I'd like to go axis deer hunting with him on his native Maui, it took about .001 seconds to reply "Hell Yeah". So once that was immediately sorted out, I booked my flight and was treated to one of my favorite adventures in recent memory. Maui's [...]

I typically associate Veganism with anti hunting and anti gun schools of thought. Most vegans ultimately don't agree with killing animals, and many of them are pretty vocal (to a fault) about their lifestyle. They also tend to be far left leaning and vote with little regard to the 2nd Amendment. So for a hunter [...]

As a turkey hunter that has only ever tried the practice of 'Reaping' or 'Fanning' a gobbler one time in my life, I simply don't get what all the fuss is about. I admit I do like the videos and the idea of tricking a gobbler while crawling towards him only to pop up and [...]

William Clark Green has been a staple on the Red Dirt scene for nearly 15 years now, and subsequently has joined the show a handful of times over the years. One of my favorite singer/songwriters, he also is a die hard duck hunter. Will joins the show this week to discuss not only his new [...]

You guys know by now that nothing irks me more than the term "I'm a hunter, but..." - There are no buts, you're either in or you're out baby! And if you're out then you aren't on my team and certainly not on the side of protecting your fellow hunter's rights. Apparently that idea that [...]

Lionfish (Pterois volitans) aren't native to the Atlantic Ocean nor the Gulf of Mexico, yet the Pacific Ocean species has taken up residency in those coastal waters and is subsequently wreaking havoc on those marine ecosystems. Without many natural predators in their new environment, lionfish populations have grown in numbers and range. This has resulted in [...]

For the entirety of my career I've subscribed to the notion that the more new hunters joining our ranks the better for the future of our sport. However, if we're not recruiting the right kind of hunter, then can we expect them to really be invested in our cause? The Angry Bowhunter joins me on [...]

Mossberg's Linda Powell is one of our oldest friends and subsequently a semi regular guest on the show. This spring, Linda and Mossberg came down to South Texas to chase longbeards with myself and my buddy Chisum Cooke. Mossberg also brought outdoor writer Gordy Krahn and the four of us sat down to for a [...]

The backlash from deer hunters in Grayson, Collin, Dallas and Rockwall counties was fast and furious once they learned Texas Parks and Wildlife's plan to add rifle seasons to the archery only deer counties. Lifelong Sherman resident and Attorney Brock Benson brought some seriously questionable details to the table concerning the way TPWD went about [...]

How was your 2021-2022 waterfowl season? Did the ducks show up for your crew? DU's head waterfowl scientist Dr. Mike Brasher makes his return to the show on this episode of Campfire Conversations. We take a look at Ducks Unlimited's recently published Season in Review as well as the relatively new Mid Winter Surveys. Mike [...]

Retired U.S. Army Special Ops Colonel Shawn Daniel joins me to discuss how Darby's Warrior Support is using the outdoors to help heal some of our nation's finest special ops veterans. Colonel Daniel (through his own experiences) realized that alot of our returning special ops soldiers were left in dark places emotionally, mentally and physically [...]

I met John Pron about 11pm at the camp house of the Irion County ranch I was thinking of leasing for quail hunting. He answered my post on Facebook ( I was looking for someone with a few dogs to see if this property was worth leasing) and he showed up with a string of [...]

Safari Club International's Ben Cassidy makes his return this week. There's much to discuss with SCI's Director of Government Affairs who jumps on from Washington D.C. Primarily, the anti trophy importation language that was included in the Appropriations Bill (the government's proposed budget) has been removed. So there's much to celebrate on that front. Also, [...]

Tarif Alkhatib is no stranger when it comes to patterning and killing big North Texas bucks with his bow. But his Grayson County, TX buck from this past season grabbed the attention of the whitetail community, and for good reason. The buck he nicknamed 'Shredder' grossed 199 5/8 inches and the big 12 point smashed [...]

I don't remember the date that I heard Adam Hood's first single "22 Days Too Long" playing on the radio, but I do remember liking the song and making mental note of this Adam Hood guy. Turns out that was about 15 years ago according to Adam who joins me in studio on this week's [...]
