Lone Star Outdoor Show

2016 was a banner year for quail numbers and quail hunters alike. But since then the bobwhite has again fallen on hard times. Is it due to weather or other factors like predation or even the increasing number of feral hogs on the landscape, what about parasites? Our old friend Dr. Dale Rollins of the [...]

We kick things off with an outside of the box culinary treat. I know, many of you will be skeptical, but weren't we all the first time we tried Rocky Mountain Oysters? On this week's show we take it a step further when Greg Pavur of Pavur Outdoors jumps on to talk wild boar testicles [...]

Texas Parks and Wildlife Whitetail Deer Program Leader Alan Cain makes his return to the show. After a personal experience with a mature (but illegal to harvest) buck on my deer lease outside of Wichita Falls, TX I figured it was time to discuss these "Loophole Bucks" that will never be harvested due to Antler [...]

Perhaps the greatest conservation success story of our time is that of the wild turkey. Market hunting, timber cutting and a general disregard for the resource resulted in less than 30,000 birds left in North America by the early 1930s. Our TPWD Turkey Program Leader Jason Hardin makes his return to the broadcast. We [...]

Our good friend and firearms writer Kevin Reese of Pulsar Night Vision and Thermal Imaging dropped by the studio to discuss some outside of the box applications for thermal optics. I have long been a fan of scouting with my Pulsar thermal monocular (Helion XP 50 pictured here) but over the past year or so [...]

My better half and I recently celebrated 10 years of marital bliss by taking a trip to the Dominican Republic.

The always affable Captain Len Girard gets things going with a saltwater fishing report. We find out what the redfish and trout are hitting and where Captain Len is finding them. Also, sight casting for black drum and what to expect with high water and the pending fall flounder run. Then our longtime friend Steven [...]

As a father, you experience things that leave a lasting impression when it comes to your offspring. The first time they score a goal in a soccer game, the first fish they catch and damn sure the first time they go deer hunting with you. But I'm not going to get all sappy on you [...]

If you aren't aware of Florida's Amendment 13, then you will want to listen to my visit with Jack Cory of the Florida Greyhound Association. Amendment 13 is up for vote in the midterms and if passed it would end Florida's rich tradition of Greyhound racing (they currently have 11 of the nations 19 remaining [...]

Recently there has been quite a bit of concern over Bovine Tuberculosis being transmitted to whitetailed deer. While it's not rare in Northern states such as Michigan, I haven't heard of it in Texas yet. Many of you emailed or messaged me on social media asking if you needed to be wary of this disease [...]
