Fall Obsession Podcast

This week we're joined by Kayla Harrod (@fit2hunt_kh) for an honest conversation about life, hunting, and navigating the outdoor industry as an authentic creator. Kayla shares how she found her way into hunting, the experiences that shaped her passion for the outdoors, and what it's really like balancing family, content creation, and life beyond social media. We also dive into the realities of being a female influencer in the hunting space, the importance of staying true to yourself in an industry full of opinions, and why authenticity matters more than chasing trends, likes and followers. Kayla also talks about filming her own hunts and the lessons she's learned along the way—both behind the camera and in the woods. Whether you're a hunter, an aspiring content creator, or someone trying to balance your passions with everyday life, this episode is full of genuine conversation, practical insight, and a reminder that the best relationships are built from simply being yourself.

Mountain lions are recently one of the more debated predators in Texas, and few people have spent as much time observing them on the ground as this week's guest, Brandt Buchanan.  For the past decade, Brandt has closely monitored mountain lion activity while managing ranches in west Texas, giving him a unique perspective on their behavior, distribution, and impact on wildlife.  In this episode, we discuss his experience with Texas mountain lions, how they impact other game populations, and some of the biggest misconceptions surrounding these apex predators.  We also dive into the current state of mountain lion management in Texas and why Brandt believes mandatory harvest reporting is a critical step toward gathering better data and making informed wildlife management decisions.  Whether you're a hunter, landowner, wildlife manager, or simply interested in one of Texas' most fascinating predators, this episode offers an honest, boots-on-the-ground conversation about mountain lions and the future of their management in the Lone Star State.

There are plenty of Conservation issues earning local and national spotlights, but what is happening right now behind the curtain in Texas may not be discussed enough.  Sam returns for a live solo show with a lot on the agenda.  Often covering conservation topics in other States, he takes this opportunity to share a concerning look behind the curtain in his home State of Texas.  While both residents and non-residents may believe everything is running just fine in the Lone Star State, there is no doubt specific people are pushing into certain positions which hold the influence to begin chipping away with an anti-hunting agenda.  Additionally, Sam talks about the perception of hunting bears and predators, and what true conservation looks like.  This is a very educational episode, and one that every hunter (and certainly Texans) should listen to.
