Lone Star Outdoor Show

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. [...]

Over 400,000 Americans now suffer from Alpha Gal Syndrome, the tick-borne illness that causes a red meat allergy (among other symptoms). Fitness guru and ironman athlete Erin Oprea joins the conversation this week to discuss her journey fighting Alpha Gal and subsequently offering anyone affected with the disease some hope of making a full recovery. [...]

Carl Van Zyl and I have spent over 2 months of our lives hunting the South African bush together. Having just wrapped up our 9th safari, we sat down in the library at John X Safari's Woodlands Camp to talk about our recent adventure. In addition to recapping the ups and downs of our latest [...]

Nina Rogers and Meredith Powroznik met at a Field & Stream turkey camp this spring. The pair became fast friends and before they knew it, they'd spent the majority of turkey season trying to accomplish a pretty lofty goal: get Meredith a gobbler with her longbow. During this episode we discuss the ups and downs [...]

Dr. Keith Tidball recently was named Executive Director of the Outdoors Tomorrow Foundation. The Ivy League educated outdoorsman certainly bucked the norm during his time at Cornell. Highlights from today's conversation include: Upstate New York How many Ivy League Schools can Cable name? Educated rednecks Bambo flyrods Tying your own flies Old guns Safari Club [...]

Matt Ward didn't grow up hunting. The California native discovered his calling in his late 20s. But for the better part of the last 3 decades, he's traveled the globe 10 times over in search of the next big game experience. His travels have taken to over 50 countries where he's been charged by elephants, [...]

Mark Lamb is an experienced Sheriff and an authentic, unapologetic, proven conservative leader. As Sheriff, he has seen the dangers of illegal immigration, drug trafficking, and violent crime with his own two eyes. Currently running for Congress in Arizona, his #1 priority to keep Arizonans safe from the D.C. swamp and all it encompasses.

I've been highly critical of TWPD of late. Primarily regarding the attempt to force mandatory mountain lion harvest of a non-game species, which has drawn alot of interest, even on a national level by now. Recently, I made a post criticizing another recent proposal in the form of allowing high fence ranches in Texas four [...]

Louisiana outdoorsman Barret Fritscher joins the program this week. A tugboat captain who takes off a month every waterfowl season to chase ducks/geese from the Dakotas back home to Louisiana, the man lives and breathes hunting. By his side the whole time is his faithful black lab "Juice". So, what's the big deal? Plenty of [...]

Tammy Bartels joined me at the recent NRA Convention in Houston, Texas. She is the Operations Manager for Women for Gun Rights. Highlights from the conversation include: Growing up in a hunting family, but not really understanding the 2A was for her as well Women empowered by carrying What is Women for Gun Rights? Women [...]

Our friend Baptiste Marchais makes his return to the show this week. Having fled the Muslim/Socialism takeover of his native France for Texas 4 years ago, Baptiste is the epitome of an immigrant success story. He built his outfitter/tourism business from literally nothing into a thriving enterprise that brings European hunters to the Lone Star [...]
