Episode 841: “So We Quit Our Corporate Jobs to Become Outfitters”

Jeremiah Doughty is one of the most respected wild game chefs in the game. Oddly enough, it was an adult-onset allergy to bovine fat that led him to into a career in the hunting industry that he never imagined. Our old friend and the man behind 'From Field to Plate' makes his return this week [...]

Justin Bowerman has a gift.  No singer/songwriter I know can match his talent for telling a hunting or fishing story through a country song. We've been friends for the better part of two decades and have shared duck blinds and turkey camps in that time span. Justin's place in the Lone Star Outdoor Show's history [...]

I've known Brett Jepsen and Charles Spiegel a long time. So long, in fact, that they both had corporate 9-5 jobs when we first started hunting together. Three Curl Outfitters was in its infancy back then (as was this show) which meant Brett was guiding duck hunts part time and barely making enough to break [...]

I traveled down to the New Braunfels area last week to hang out with the good folks over at Woods Cycle Country. The longtime power sports dealership is family owned and operated by hunters and anglers. You walk into the showroom floor and immediately see the taxidermy proudly displayed by their employees. Hunting rifles in [...]

This was one of the most fun conversations I've had in some time. New Jersey native Christian Zeron will tell that he's "old to watches, new to hunting". The luxury watch dealer recently went on his first duck hunt which subsequently led to a full-blown immersion into the outdoor lifestyle. Next thing he knew, he [...]

Madie Demaske is a lifelong big game hunter. The 2026 winner of the prestigious Diana Award (highest honor awarded by SCI to female hunters) has traveled the globe in search of the next hunting adventure a dozen times over.  Her true love is mountain hunting for goat and sheep species. Her passion for conservation and [...]

Most duck hunters feel like waterfowl hunting has gotten more difficult in recent years. Some complain of a lack of access while others gripe about overcrowded WMA's and other public water bodies being chalk full of other hunters. Couple that with a multi-year drop in duck numbers and it's not hard to see why most [...]

Our old friend Robbie Kroger of Origins Foundation makes his return to the show this week. We've been friends for nearly a decade at this point, and I always enjoy hearing about the Origin Foundation's latest conservation work. During today's discussion we focus primarily on a recent cheetah relocation project (the largest and riskiest on [...]

Huntstand's Josh Dahlke is obsessed with turkey hunting. When he isn't in the turkey woods each spring, you can find him pouring over Huntstand maps planning next spring's turkey hunts. During today's conversation we dive into a myriad of longbeard related discussion points. Highlights include: Turkey Season recap How many states did he hunt this [...]

"Chronic Wasting Disease is going to wipe out whitetail herds"! We've all heard the jargon put forth by popular NGOs as well as many of our state wildlife governing agencies. But after 18 years of doing this, I (as well as you) am still waiting for the great CWD die off in a whitetail herd. [...]
