Lone Star Outdoor Show

Humans have taken running shots at wild game since the dawn of time. Yet for some reason that skill set seems to be dying on the vine. I find that reality somewhat shocking due to the fact that modern technology has made taking a running shot more lethal than it ever has been. Outdoor Life [...]

Trail Camera technology has come along ways in recent years and Stealth Cam has long been at the forefront of pioneering those advancements. This week, I'm thrilled to have Stealth Cam and GSM Outdoors' Taylor Black drop by the studio to discuss the latest and greatest from one of my favorite companies. We discuss the [...]

Hunting free range Nilgai Antelope in deep South Texas has long been a hunt near the top of my bucketlist. So when my friends at First Lite mentioned they wanted to come to Texas and test/photograph some of their new gear up against the unforgiving brush, I knew Nilgai was the obvious choice. So I [...]

Shed hunting is something that I personally don't get. Maybe it's because we have hogs and warm weather to occupy our time in the southwest or maybe it's because I don't own my own land and so I don't have the ability to watch bucks grow up from year to year. Whatever the case, there [...]

Duck's Unlimited's Chief Biologist Tom Moorman makes his return to the show this week. We head to Greenland to discuss one of the most fascinating behaviors I've ever seen geese exhibit. The Barnacle goose nests as high as 400 feet up on rocky cliffs. At a day old, the goslings hurl themselves off the cliff [...]

The Cecil Act is hands down the most alarming piece of legislation that the hunting community has ever seen. Proposed by Arizona Representative Raul Grijalva, this bill would systematically take international wildlife management out of the hands of the US Fish and Wildlife Service and give it to a newly formed, leftist committee with no [...]

What's on my mind this week? Some interesting stuff out of the United Kingdom concerning a hunting ban on a few certain species no one would ever consider protecting. Also, California Congressman Eric Swalwell's federal gun buy back program that would make those not in compliance felons! And lastly, Bernie Sanders wants to give incarcerated [...]

We all know that all shotgun cartridges aren't created equal. Generally, you get what you pay for and Kent Cartridge has long delivered incredible performance at great price points. But what makes one load better than another? We talk turkey shot shells with Kent's Jeff Barry on this week's show. Specifically we'll hit why Tungsten [...]

We start things off by visiting with Disabled Outdoorsmen USA founder Weston Jenkins. Weston founded this non profit in honor of his cousin TJ who suffers from Muscular Dystrophy. Despite his physical limitations, TJ is as passionate an outdoorsman as you will come across. Disabled Outdoorsmen USA is seeking to fill a void that is [...]

You probably would have thought you reached the pinnacle of your bass fishing career on the day you reeled in a 12.5 lb toad. Angler Cody Matheny thought just that until 4 days later he landed this 14 lb lunker! Cody joins us this week to talk about those crazy couple days in March. What [...]

Over the past few weeks I have been sent quite a few videos and trail camera images of bucks exhibiting rutting behavior into late February and early March. Are does really going into estrous this late in the winter? Is there a 3rd whitetail rut that hunters don't generally acknowledge? Texas Parks and Wildlife Whitetail [...]

In 1919 Mossberg manufactured their first gun, a .22 caliber pistol called the 'Brownie'. Nearly 100 years later, Mossberg has re-entered the handgun conversation with the MC1sc 9mm. Our old friend Linda Powell jumps on to discuss a little bit of history concerning one of America's oldest family operated businesses Next, our good friend and [...]

Parker McCollum's soulful tunes have kept me company on many a lonely drive to and from a hunt. I was happy to finally have one of country music's real up and comers join me in studio this week. Parker also brought his guitar so we take a listen to a few of my favorites as [...]

From catching and training her first red tailed hawk, to traveling the globe in recent years to hunt with various eagle species, she has done it all. On this episode, Lauren talks about what goes into becoming a master falconer as well as [...]

The salty old seadog Captain Len Girard makes his return to the show. We discuss the current fishing conditions, the late winter freeze and the time Captain Len told one of his clients that Gafftop slime had the same affect as Peyote. Did she lick it? Tune in to find out

We start off this week's show by talking Texas public land nilgai hunting with our friend Becky Guenther of Rustic Reminders Taxidermy. Generally speaking, Texas isn't know for it's public land drawn hunts. However, the nilgai draw for the Laguna Atascosa National Wildlife Refuge is a sought after hunt for both Texas residents and non [...]

The much anticipated alligator gar episode. This comes on the heels of Texas Parks and Wildlife's proposed regulatory changes that would end ALL bowfishing for alligator gar at night in the state of Texas. Also, it would implement a maximum 4 foot rule on the Trinity River from Dallas to Houston (perhaps the entire nation's [...]

The state of Idaho estimates that there are between 700-800 wolves in the state. These are based solely on the number of wolves they are able to collar and track. In reality, there are closer to 2,500-3,000 wolves according to Foundation For Wildlife Management Director Justin Webb. Justin joins the show this week and we [...]

The hunt is where you find it, even in New York City. Longtime rat hunter (ratter) Richard Reynolds joins the show this week to discuss the Rhyders Alley Trencherfed Society (R.A.T.S.) and the dogs that they use to help reduce the Big Apple's rat population. They even have breeds that act as push dogs and [...]

Our old friend Gerald Swindle joins this week's show. We recap his abysmal deer season, discuss food plots and his passion for whitetail management before talking some largemouths. The 2 time Bass Master Elite Series Angler of the Year breaks down a sure fire method on how to boat good numbers of big winter bass. [...]

Asian culture has been eating duck tongues for centuries. After experiencing it for myself recently, I think I've found a new favorite part of the duck as far as table fare is concerned. Greg Pavur jumps on this week's show to discuss the preparation we enjoyed at his duck camp last weekend. You might be [...]

It's not always as clean and quick as you see on outdoor television these days. Sometimes hunting is messy and it can be something we're not proud of. While those times are few and far between, it does happen. And one of those rodeos unfolded a couple weeks ago when I had all three kids [...]

2016 was a banner year for quail numbers and quail hunters alike. But since then the bobwhite has again fallen on hard times. Is it due to weather or other factors like predation or even the increasing number of feral hogs on the landscape, what about parasites? Our old friend Dr. Dale Rollins of the [...]

We kick things off with an outside of the box culinary treat. I know, many of you will be skeptical, but weren't we all the first time we tried Rocky Mountain Oysters? On this week's show we take it a step further when Greg Pavur of Pavur Outdoors jumps on to talk wild boar testicles [...]

Texas Parks and Wildlife Whitetail Deer Program Leader Alan Cain makes his return to the show. After a personal experience with a mature (but illegal to harvest) buck on my deer lease outside of Wichita Falls, TX I figured it was time to discuss these "Loophole Bucks" that will never be harvested due to Antler [...]
