Campfire Conversations 104: The One With Tejas Hunt Club

I had the chance to sit down with Brandon McDow of Tejas Hunt Club at the recent Texas Trophy Hunters Extravaganza in Fort Worth recently. While Brandon and I had met previously at other trade shows, this was the first time we had the opportunity to shoot the breeze for an extended period of time. [...]

We've all battled it out, chasing ducks or big bass on public water. Of course, those successes are absolutely worth celebrating. However, as we enter different seasons of life our goals often change. Maybe we have less free time than we once did. Maybe we want to make the experience all about our kiddos, or [...]

"How bad do you want it?" - that was the question my outfitter Mike Young of Lonesome Mountain Outfitters asked me on the first day of our 9-day British Columbia mountain goat hunt. On this episode I am joined by my friend and hunting buddy of 20 plus years (and Justified Pursuit Podcast co-host) Chisum [...]

Matt Stoll is eaten up with chasing big whitetail bucks with his bow. His passion for whitetail deer ultimately led him to start creating some insane whitetail art. The self-taught welder and I sat down at the recent Texas Trophy Hunters Extravaganza in Fort Worth to talk big bucks and his awesome steel whitetail european [...]

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 [...]
