Lone Star Outdoor Show

Idaho native Wyatt Stocks is a whitetail hunter and shed hunting fanatic. The frequency with which he encounters wolves while shed hunting means he always has a rifle on his pack. Wyatt joins the show this week to talk about one incredibly rare day he recently spent shed hunting in Idaho's back country. But sheds [...]

Remington's unprecedented $73 million dollar settlement with the families of the Sandy Hook victims is extremely concerning for the future of American firearm manufacturers. The Biden Administration has been open about repealing laws that previously protected gun makers from liability in mass shootings. But no laws have officially been changed, so why did Remington settle? [...]

This is the most important Campfire Conversation to date. Brian Lynn - VP of Marketing and Communications from Sportsmen's Alliance jumps on to discuss why the Biden Administration has decided to negotiate with the Center For Biological Diversity over hunting access on certain wildlife management areas (I.E. - public hunting land). The real issue here [...]

North Texas is a unique animal when it comes to Grayson, Collin, Dallas and Rockwall counties being the only archery only whitetail deer counties in the state. Historically, Grayson County has produced some of the biggest racked bucks not just in Texas, but anywhere in the country. Collin County (Grayson's neighbor the the South) gained [...]

SCI's 50th Anniversary Convention in Las Vegas was one for the record books from a conservation funds raised perspective. I attended for the first time and the energy in the convention hall was contagious. SCI's Director of Government Affairs Ben Cassidy makes his return to the show this week. We recap the convention and discuss [...]

I was sitting in the duck blind with my brother and a friend last weekend and went to post a story to Instagram. Unfortunately, my page (with 145,000 followers) had been disabled by Instagram in the middle of the night. It's no secret that Silicon Valley likely doesn't appreciate my way of life and political [...]

Alaskan Governor Mike Dunleavy wasn't hard to find at the SCI Convention in Las Vegas, I simply looked for the tallest guy in the room. Once I found the governor, he was more than willing to carve out a few minutes for an impromptu interview on the repeated attempts by the federal government to close [...]

Each January I head west to Pavur Outdoors (Seymour, TX) where I'm joined by my Missouri boys. This was our 6th annual duck/hogapolooza hunt where we spend 3 or 4 days chasing ducks and thermal hog hunting. It's always one of my favorite hunts of the year being in camp with Sean, Jeff, Eric and [...]

It was a normal morning in the whitetail woods for bowhunter Justin Swift when one miss step nearly cost him his life. However, quick thinking and a quick response by local emergency personnel ultimately left him with a hell of a story and one gruesome scar. Justin joins the show this week to relive that [...]

Bigger deer have been killed, but none bigger have ever been killed by a female bowhunter. I'm thrilled to have Kassandra Agarand join the show from Saskatchewan this week to tell us all about this amazing buck she affectionately nicknamed 'Hobo'. Even more importantly than this buck hitting the ground however, is her testimony as [...]

I'll be the first to admit that I don't know jack squat about surfing. However, it's something that has always fascinated me from an onlooker standpoint. When a mutual friend introduced me to professional big wave surfer Mark Healey with a note that he is addicted to spear gun fishing, free diving and bow hunting [...]

Some of you may know my first on air gig was as a DJ in college. This week, we take a break from the outdoor format as I get back to my roots- hope you enjoy the tunes and that it adds a little Christmas cheer to your life this holiday season. These are a [...]

I've been to South Africa's Eastern Cape five times since it last saw decent rainfall. That all changed recently when the heavens opened up. While certainly needed, it came with a price as fences washed away, animals drowned and tank dams didn't hold. My longtime friend and PH Carl Van Zyl of John X Safaris [...]

Dan Staton and I were able to share a camp together for the first time in South Texas this fall. We joined up with another mutual friend and Pnuma Recon Team Member Chad Alan Jones for a few days of bowhunting on the Cinco Cuernos Ranch. You never know what kind of mindset or belief [...]

Always great catching up with SCI's Director Of Government Affairs Ben Cassidy. Lots of interesting stuff to discuss on this episode of Campfire Conversations.  

Anthony Amantine and I go way back, nearly 20 years. We've had alot of fun and funny screw ups afield over that time. We relive some of them this week. A long time authority and thermal hunting and rifles (especially for the purpose of hog hunting) Anthony breaks down some of the gear/calibers he uses [...]

When I heard that the Wisconsin DNR was telling hunters to wear a mask when cleaning dead deer this fall I honestly didn't know whether to laugh or cringe.  Sounds like more fear mongering regarding the pandemic that has altered all of our lives over the past 20 months. But what do I know? I'm [...]

I've shot Kent waterfowl loads since I was in college. When the opportunity to work with a brand I already used and trusted came up 4 years ago, of course I jumped at the opportunity. It was awesome to have Kent come down to Texas for a little West Texas crane and dove action with [...]

Oklahoma State student Cort Travis recently took down this Boone and Crockett monster during Oklahoma's muzzle loader season. He joins the show to talk about chasing this wary bruiser. Sacrifices were made in the process as Cort cut classes and skipped homecoming to make sure his ass was in a treestand. Interestingly enough, his neighbor [...]

I'm not saying this is the best show I've ever done, but it might be the most important. As a father and as a conservationist I look at my kids as my legacy just like many of you do. If we commit to raising our kids to respect and love wildlife but also with the [...]

I've visited with tons of interesting people over the years and Jason Jeter is no exception. We've been friends for some time, although much of that interaction has been through social media. So it caught my attention when Instagram deleted his account without warning last week. They gave no real explanation, the page was disabled [...]

I remember hearing Keith Warren talking on stage at a hunting trade show years ago. He shared a story that has stuck with me since when he and his son went on a Canadian black bear hunt and the guide drank himself to death in his tent. On this week's show Keith (a veteran of [...]

Glad to have SCI Government Affairs Director Ben Cassidy jump back on for this episode of Campfire Conversations. The title of the episode pretty much sums up the talking points. It's infuriating how the animal rights activists slip this kind of language/potential impact into a bill that has nothing to do with hunting.   (From [...]

Episode 597 was one of the most fun discussions I've had in some time. It's always a treat to have world renowned big game hunter and adventurer Corey Knowlton in the studio. This week, his friend and Jim Shockey's cameraman of 10 years Todd Bissenden came along as well. Episode Highlights: - Are there any [...]
