Lone Star Outdoor Show

Beau Saucier and I have been friends for a long time. We seen some good duck dogs come and go, kiddos born, careers blossom and without fail each fall we end up chasing birds together each fall. Whether it's in a Collin County dove patch or a Grayson County duck hole, the laughs will be [...]

I was first introduced to Kodiak Canvas tents while on a 9 day archery elk hunt in Wyoming last September. My lifelong friend David Morgan pulled this thing out of his truck bed and once we had it up I knew camp was going to be a pretty posh experience. Well as posh as it [...]

Everyone's favorite bowhunting couple Jess and Braxton Byers jump on the show this week. The Texas transplants moved to Utah to work for Huntin'Fool a few years back. We dive into a plethora of topics including: Do they think they will ever move back to Texas? What are their specific roles at Huntin' Fool? Jess [...]

We get things going with a quick hit segment on Horny Toads, Biden's latest attack on hunting through defunding archery and hunter education in public schools and a funny little rumor I heard about myself. You can't make it up lol! (Horned Lizard I came across at the deer lease that was chowing down on [...]

Texas Trophy Hunters has represented the Texas hunting community for nearly 50 years. The 2023 Extravaganza season kicks off this week in Houston as the TTHA tradition of hunting, family and community come together once again in Houston, Fort Worth and San Antonio over the next 3 weeks. TTHA's Lauren Conklin makes her return to [...]

Former Texas Parks and Wildlife Director of Hunter Education Robert Ramirez joins me to discuss SB 1236 - the biggest anti hunting bill to ever pass in Texas history. As of September 1st, 2023, Texas sportsmen and women will no longer legally be allowed to rifle or bow hunt our state's navigable water ways (rivers/streams) [...]

Assistant Commander Stormy King of our TPWD Game Warden Division joins us on this episode of Campfire Conversations. We discuss the implications of SB 1236 and it's potential impact on the hunting community and our Game Wardens as far as enforcing it. The one thing that neither of us seem to understand is how it [...]

This one might ruffle a few feathers and for that, we make absolutely ZERO apologies. My good friend and hunting industry mogul Baker Leavitt joins me this week. Baker is the Director of Black Rifle Coffee and the owner of the Digital Mongoose media management company. He's a passionate big game hunter and media expert. [...]

I've covered hunting and fishing in Texas for nearly 15 years and I never knew we had a Bureau of Land Management Unit anywhere in the Lone Star State, much less one that is open to public land bowhunters. The 12,000 acre Cross Bar Special Recreation Management Area in Potter County has whitetail, mule deer, [...]

I don't know if it's because we all have cell phones with cameras on us at all times or if deer are just evolving to include meat in their diets, but what is up with all the viral videos of whitetails chowing down on other animals? I've seen them eating birds, grasshoppers, eggs and most [...]

Have you ever shot Match grade ammunition? Have you ever hunted with it? I certainly have taken Hornady Match Ammunition hog hunting on numerous occasions, but what about big game hunting with these popular factory loads? On this week's episode we discuss this very topic with two gentlemen that know a thing or two about [...]

Safari Club International VP Government Affairs Ben Cassidy and District of Conservation Podcast Host Gabriella Hoffman join Cable for an interesting round table discussion concerning the Bureau of Land Management's (BLM) recent proposed rule on Conservation and Health Landscape.  The rule has drawn skepticism from the hunting and conservation communities as the language seems to [...]

I won't lie, the world of Cross Fit is something I'm not familiar with. (However, by the time this podcast posts, I will have completed my first ever Cross Fit training session). Apparently though, there's this dude Rich Froning who is the legendary OG when it comes to Cross Fit, having won 3 consecutive world [...]

Renown fishing and environmental author Paul Greenberg joins us this week. We take a look at his New York Times Bestseller 'Four Fish - The Future of the Last Wild Food' which examines our salmon, cod, sea bass and tuna fisheries. Each of the four fisheries are unique to themselves, so how do we as [...]

It's become an annual tradition to tape a safari recap episode with my friend and PH Carl Van Zyl of John X Safaris while in his South African hunting camp. On this week's show we revisit the most recent hunting adventure shared on the Eastern Cape. We started out pursuing the tiniest of African antelope [...]

Corey Knowlton has spent more time hunting internationally than just about any hunter on the planet. When you talk about hunting Africa specifically, that list becomes even narrower.  A professional hunter/booking agent with over 70 safaris under his belt, he's seen just about anything the African bush can throw at you. On this episode we [...]

The wild horse and burro situation in some Western states has long been out of control. But Nevada is certainly the leader in the club house with between 50,000-60,000 wild horses encompassing the state's public land resource. Unfortunately due to The Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act of 1971 , no lethal measures can be taken to deal with the overpopulation of this non [...]

District of Conservation Host Gabriella Hoffman makes her return to the show this week. She recently appeared on FOX News to help spread awareness on hunting's role in conservation. We discuss that and the counter movement by anti hunting factions and even the university system to push the false narrative that hunting no longer needs [...]

I've been fascinated by birds of prey my entire life. Falcons, hawks, owls...you name it, I love watching them and identifying each species I come across. As much as I enjoy these winged predators, Bladen Benson enjoys them exponentially more. So much in fact, that he's built a successful business using trained Harris Hawks to [...]

Ducks Unlimited's big event takes place in North Texas this weekend! DUX 2023 kicks off Friday and runs through Sunday at Texas Motor Speedway. The entire waterfowl community converges for 3 days celebrating this passion we all love. DU's National Director of Event Fundraising David Schessler makes his return on this installment of Campfire Conversations. [...]

I may not agree with Matt Rinella on many of his stances. However, I damn sure want to find out what makes him feel the way he does on certain hunting and conservation related topics. The estranged brother of Meateater empire founder Steve, Matt believes Steve and similar hunting celebrities/influencers have nearly ruined hunting for [...]

Todd Erhlich joins Cable on this edition of Campfire Conversations. The Kill Cliff sports drink founder is a former Navy SEAL. He's also a driven entrepreneur. We discuss what it was like bringing Kill Cliff to an already saturated market place. Also, what the heck is a 'Kill Cliff"? Todd shares his passion for fishing, [...]

If you've been around the outdoor community for awhile then you likely have heard of Fred Zink or at least Zink Game Calls. Fred made his mark in the waterfowl community decades ago. But he's just as passionate about killing spring gobblers as he is ducks and geese. That passion ultimately lead him to create [...]

Sue Tidwell grew up around hunting but never participated directly. When she met her husband Rick, she began to accompany him on his Idaho backcountry pursuits for elk and mule deer. She generally had no qualms with buck or bull being killed and ultimately ending up on their dinner table. However, like many Americans, Sue [...]

I honestly didn't know much about Alex Whitt leading up to our conversation. I knew he was a Navy Veteran of the Iraqi War and that he had a protein bar company, that was about it. However, one of the coolest parts of this job is getting to visit with fascinating people and Alex certainly [...]
