Anyone that listens to this show knows I'm no fan of Backcountry Hunters and Anglers. I tried it and it wasn't for me based off beliefs of the individuals that were at the helm of BHA national.  However, I've never been critical of the state chapter model and believe they can and do accomplish positive [...]

Why aren't more sportsmen up in arms regarding the way TPWD changed mountain lion regulatory policy without any science to support a need for change? Pandering to the anti hunters is a new step (in the wrong direction) for Texas Parks and Wildlife, and one that gives me a great deal of concern. The advancement [...]

The dream turned into a nightmare, however after 4 loose rounds of 6.5 Creedmoor ammunition was found in Ryan's luggage when they were LEAVING the island. That means it made it [...]

Texas Parks and Wildlife has proposed two major changes in mountain lion management. The question is, why? Mountain lions are treated as a non game species in Texas with no closed season or bag limit. But don't let that fact lead you to believe that Texas hunters are out killing mountain lions indiscriminately, we aren't. [...]

Compound vs Crossbow, Bait vs no Bait, Mechanical vs Fixed Blade...these debates continue to rage on within the hunting community.
