Lone Star Outdoor Show

Our longtime friend Brian Lynn makes his return on this episode. The Sportsmen's Alliance VP has seen it all when it comes to anti hunting organizations and their attack on hunters and conservationists under the guise that somehow they are protecting our wildlife and wild spaces. The "Sue and Settle" model is how they stay [...]

If you have an affinity for Western big game then you're in the right place. Nosler's Madi Woodward joins us this week to discuss a fall hunting season that was one of the books! Highlights from the episode include: Nosler's Whitetail Country ammunition line set to expand in 2025 Trophy Pronghorn hunt that took 16 [...]

Retired Wildlife Biologist and former government employee Mike Bodenchuk has been there and done that when it comes to managing wildlife. A former state hired beaver trapper who worked his way up the food chain to ultimately serve as the head of Texas 150 state hired trappers within the Texas Wildlife Commission, Mike gives us [...]

I sat down with our old friend and Silencer Central founder/CEO Brandon Maddox at the recent Safari Club International show in Nashville. Brandon shares some of his recent adventures wolf hunting in negative 20 degree weather in Ontario. Imagine freezing your butt off for 12 hours straight, not eating anything or even taking a leak [...]

Do you trust your state wildlife agency? That is a huge question mark for many landowners when it comes to working with state wildlife agencies when it comes to large carnivore management. Some agencies have proven to have been infiltrated by anti hunting ideologies, others seem to often care more about the almighty dollar than [...]

Author Paul Greenberg makes his return to the show this week, and if Paul is here then you know the conversation will steer towards fishing. The longtime New York City native is one of my favorite fishing/fisheries authors and we always have an interesting conversation. During this visit we take a deep dive into the [...]

Had a lot of fun sitting down with a couple old friends in Huntin' Fool's Austin Atkinson and Montana Knife Company's Braxton Byers (formerly of Huntin' Fool). We all sat down at the recent Safari Club International convention in Nashville and had one heck of a roundtable discussion centered on Western big game hunting with [...]

Lifelong Utahan Ben Dettamanti (aka Shed Crazy) joins the show this week. Ben and I met at the Vortex Optics Ambassador Summit in Wisconsin this past summer and had much more in common than I thought. The main major difference is he lives and breathes shed hunting while I don't quite get the allure. However, [...]

Ryan Warhola and I have become good friends over the past handful of years. The former cop, turned off shore fishing captain now runs a multi million dollar industrial company as a result of a relationship forged in the blue waters of the Gulf of Mexico. The lifelong outdoorsman cut his teeth hunting and fishing [...]

Tarif Alkhatib is no stranger to arrowing giant North Texas bucks. He holds the typical archery record for Grayson County at 199 inches. He's also no stranger to joining us in studio to share his successes and expertise on hunting mature, booner caliber bucks. When he sent me the photo and story of this season's [...]

This was a trip two years in the making and one that I'd wanted to check off the bucketlist for some time. Kent Cartridge actually set this trip up for 2023 but a bad weather system saw last year's trip postponed at the last minute. That only added to the anticipation of what the Eastern [...]

Trapping is a time honored tradition throughout human history. Whether the game is pursued for food, hides, population control or monetary gain, it's an artform that dates back to the earliest days of mankind. I'm always impressed by those who've mastered the art and continue the tradition in modern times. Colt Morris certainly fits that [...]

We kick things off with a new duck recipe. If it's my cooking, then there's a greater than 50% chance it's going to be some kind of Tex/Mex preparation.  We used the blue wing teal hearts from Henry and I's  September teal hunt on the Texas coast. The Teal Heart Enchiladas didn't disappoint!   I [...]

There is some level of satisfaction in battling extreme elements and coming out on top while hunting. However, being comfortable in those environments means you can stay out longer and put more time in afield. Our good friend Will Cooper of GSM Outdoors joins us on this episode to talk about some of the late [...]

The 2nd Amendment isn't up for negotiation. The left continues to tirelessly attack our protected rights on the state and federal levels. So who is looking out for us? If you aren't familiar with Gun Owners of America, then this conversation is one you need to hear. If you're already a member or aware of [...]

"Drill Baby, Drill" is a controversial statement for some hunters and conservationists. Why is that? Our longtime friend of the show Gabriella Hoffman of the District of Conservation Podcast makes her return this week. The D.C. area Conservation Policy Analyst is as well versed on anyone when it comes to how energy policy and conservation [...]

Nothing brings me more satisfaction than watching my kids enjoy the great outdoors. So when Stella told me back during dove season that she wanted to shoot her first deer this fall, I was obviously thrilled. Of course there's also a level of anxiety that comes along with taking a kid on their first hunt [...]

Our old friend John McAdams of the Big Game Hunting Blog makes his return to the show this week. We discuss his recent Lower 48 Shiras moose hunt. A rare tag to draw but you can certainly increase your odds by putting in for a cow tag. We then  discuss a couple popular rifle calibers [...]

Last week's election results signaled big wins for hunting, conservation and the 2nd Amendment. We say goodbye to Deb Halaand's dumpster fire regime as Secretary of Interior. Florida passes Amendment 2 - the Right to Hunt and Fish,  anti gun gubernatorial hopeful Ryan Busse was thrashed in the Montana governor's race and perhaps most importantly- [...]

Timber Cleghorn recently appeared on History Channel's hit series - Alone. The Season 11 contestant made it 83 days surviving the Artic Circle's harshest of conditions. More than his survival expertise and his ability to hunt, trap and fish to survive, it was Timber's faith that really drew me to him throughout the season. We [...]

One of my favorite new artists joins us in studio this week in the form of Logan Ryan. The pride of Gonzales, TX - Logan has one of the most unique and captivating sounds in the Red Dirt scene these days. Much like his peers Cody Jinks and Parker McCollum, I imagine there will come [...]

We live in the craziest time in human history and the outdoor industry isn't immune to that reality. Outdoor Life has long been one of my favorite publications. I've interviewed many of their writers multiple times over the past 15 years, as well as done shows on various subjects/individuals featured in said writings. So when [...]

September is my favorite month of the year for so many reasons. Hunting season kicks off with the September 1st dove opener, temps are starting to cool off and football arrives at the same time. Then you factor in bulls bugling across the Lower 48 and early teal season and yeah, it's tough to beat. [...]

Self deprecating humor has long been my favorite form of comedy and Nate Illingsworth has it down pat. The former fat kid has taken control of his life and hunting has given him a purpose to get into shape. A passionate bowhunter, Nate uses his social media channels and Just The Nip podcast to inspire [...]

Shallon Payne's family has thrived living on the land in Appalachia for as long as this country has existed. They're still doing the same today. So when the government used Hurricane Helene to close two massive swaths of public land to hunting for an entire year, it meant that their freezer would potentially be void [...]
