Lone Star Outdoor Show

Jason Hardin has worked with turkeys for a long time. He's headed up Texas Parks & Wildlife's Turkey Program for the past 19 years. I am excited to have our old friend back on the airwaves this week to discuss a wide array of turkey related topics. Highlights from the conversation include: Wildlife Biologists that [...]

I haven't come across many Western big game hunters who are as passionate as Carter Lewis. The Virginia native simply lives and breathes it. Remarkably, he's living his dream of chasing bucks and bulls through the backcountry on one leg. A fireman by trade, Carter was hit by a tractor trailer on his first day [...]

With spring gobblers on everyone's minds and me being on a red stag hunt in Argentina, I figured we rewind it to spring 2023 and talk longbeards with Zink Game Calls and Avian X Decoys founder Fred Zink. If you’ve been around the outdoor community for a while, then you likely have heard of Fred [...]

This week's show drills down into the reality that conservation is driven by sustainability, and the undeniable role hunting plays in that equation. We kick things off by sitting down with Mpho Tiajne (SCI's African Liaison) to get a South African's perspective on the role international hunting plays in Sub-Saharan Africa's thriving wildlife herds. Mpho [...]

Our longtime friend Gabriella Hoffman makes her return to the show this week. The award-winning journalist, policy advisor, podcaster and sportswoman has her finger squarely on the pulse of what is happening in Washington D.C. and how policy affects sportsmen and women. Gabby also serves as director of the Center for Energy and Conservation at Independent [...]

Our old friend Mark Boardman of Vortex Optics makes his return to the show this week. Mark likely holds the record for most appearances, looking back through old recording history it looks like our first visit was all the way back in 2012- so we've been pals for quite awhile. Highlights from this discussion include: [...]

Our Campfire Conversations format occasionally allows us to take on discussions that deviate from our traditional outdoor format. I always end up learning something new during these episodes and today is no exception. I don't think any American reflects fondly when thinking of big insurance corporations, nor should they. But just how insidious is their [...]

America Unwon's Keeley Covello makes her return to the show this week. If you aren't familiar with her work, think underdog Western journalist who is looking out for rural America. The lifelong Californian has lots of hot opinions on a myriad of topics that we'll dive into. Highlights from the conversation include: Trump Administration revokes [...]

Our old friend Ike Eastman of Eastmans makes his return this week. We dive in deep on a myriad of topics and a massive announcement from Eastmans. Highlights Include: Kids and their devices Raising teenage girls Feeling like you've won as a parent when your kid asks for a hunting trip for their birthday Has [...]

Abigail Spanberger lied to Virginians. She ran as a moderate democrat and defeated Lt. Governor Winsome Sears in the recent Virginia gubernatorial election. What Virginians didn't understand until she took office though, is that she is actually a radical, dyed in the wool leftist. So far left in fact, that it took her all of [...]
