The Houston Safari Club Foundation (HSCF) stands as a powerful force in conservation, education, and hunting advocacy. Despite what its name might suggest, this organization isn't exclusively for safari enthusiasts—it welcomes hunters of all backgrounds and experience levels who share a passion for wildlife conservation and outdoor traditions.

Founded in the early 1970s, HSCF has evolved into an organization with a clear mission encapsulated in its tagline: "We Hunt, We Give." This philosophy drives everything they do, from raising funds through memberships and events to distributing those resources through grants and scholarships. To date, HSCF has contributed over $4 million in conservation grants and nearly $4 million in scholarships, making a substantial impact on both wildlife habitats and future conservation leaders.

One of HSCF's flagship initiatives is the Dan L Duncan Scholarship Program, which supports students pursuing degrees in wildlife management, range management, biology, and related fields. What makes this scholarship unique is that funds go directly to students rather than institutions, ensuring immediate impact for those who have demonstrated their commitment to wildlife and habitat management through a rigorous application process.

Beyond financial support for students, HSCF provides conservation grants both domestically and internationally. These grants fund diverse projects ranging from anti-poaching initiatives in Africa to wildlife relocation efforts in Texas. The organization also runs youth education programs that take children hunting and fishing, with plans to expand these offerings to include classroom presentations for 4-H and FFA groups—reaching young people from various socioeconomic backgrounds to foster the next generation of conservation advocates.

What truly sets HSCF apart is its community aspect. Members don't just receive a quarterly magazine and newsletter; they gain access to a network of like-minded individuals who share experiences and resources. Monthly events—including shooting competitions, hunting excursions, and speaker presentations—create opportunities for members to connect, learn, and enjoy their shared interests. This networking aspect has proven valuable not just for hunting advice but also for business connections, with many members forming professional relationships through their HSCF involvement.

The annual HSCF Worldwide Hunting Expo & Convention is scheduled for January 23-25, 2026 and will transform the Woodlands Waterway Marriott into a hub of activity with exhibitors, auctions, banquets, and educational opportunities spread across multiple floors. Located just outside of Houston, the family-friendly event includes free admission for children under 15 and various entertainment options for accompanying family members who might prefer to explore the surrounding community's restaurants, shops, and attractions.

Membership ranges from an affordable $50 digital membership (which includes electronic access to the quarterly Hunter's Horn magazine and newsletters) to lifetime memberships. HSCF prides itself on welcoming members at whatever level works for them, with the understanding that all contributions support their conservation mission. FYI - Convention attendees receive a complimentary digital membership! 

Don't forget to also check out over 230 episodes of the HSCF Podcast "Hunting Matters".

As Executive Director Joe Betar emphasizes, HSCF "wouldn't exist if it weren't for the people that support us." From individual members to corporate partners and exhibitors, every contributor plays a vital role in sustaining the organization's conservation work.

Hank Shaw's latest cookbook "Borderlands: Recipes and Stories from the Rio Grande to the Pacific" takes readers on a captivating journey through the often misunderstood culinary landscape of the U.S.-Mexico border region. This remarkable work, his sixth book, showcases not just 125 recipes (and 300+ photos) but also tells the rich stories of the people, places, and traditions that make this cuisine so special. 

The borderlands themselves emerge as a character in Shaw's narrative. He describes them as "neither fully American nor fully Mexican," a unique cultural space with its own identity. This is reflected in the food, which often incorporates elements from both countries but transforms them into something distinctive. 

Shaw's experiences crossing the border, interacting with locals (aka the "fronterizos"), and exploring remote desert regions and saltwater shores, bring this vibrant cultural landscape to life for readers who may never have visited.

Beyond recipes and ingredients, "Borderlands" is about connection—connection to nature, to culture, and to other people across perceived boundaries. In a time of division, Shaw's book offers a path toward understanding through shared appreciation of food traditions. As he notes in the conclusion of the interview, one of his hopes for the book is that it will take readers "a little bit outside your bubble" and help them see new perspectives. 

In this way, "Borderlands" is more than a cookbook—it's an invitation to expand our culinary horizons and, in doing so, perhaps broaden our understanding of the rich cultural tapestry that exists along the U.S. - Mexico border.

The book is available now at HuntGatherCook.com or through major retailers, and Hank invites listeners to follow him on Instagram @huntgathercook or read his Substack "To the Bone" for more insights.

Tim DeLaughter's musical journey stands as one of the most fascinating and dynamic stories in alternative rock. The formation of Tripping Daisy in the early 1990s marked DeLaughter's emergence as a significant voice in alternative rock. The band's rise was meteoric and the commercial success of Tripping Daisy brought both opportunities and challenges.

Their hit single "I Got a Girl" received national attention, even appearing on Beavis and Butthead. However, DeLaughter discovered the often-conflicting priorities of art and commerce in the music industry. "That's when I first kind of started to pick up on it... decisions that I would have made weren't being made," he explains about the label's single-minded focus on promoting their hit. Despite these tensions, the band continued creating groundbreaking music across four albums.

The tragic loss of guitarist Wes Bergrren in 1999 brought Tripping Daisy to an end, leaving DeLaughter devastated and questioning his future in music. "I was completely debilitated. I couldn't even think about being in a band," he shares. This period of profound grief coincided with the birth of his son, creating a complex emotional landscape where loss and new life intertwined.

In what would become one of music's most remarkable second acts, DeghLauter's creative spark reignited as he began writing songs that seemed to demand a larger sonic palette than a traditional rock band could provide. This led to the formation of The Polyphonic Spree, a 20+ member choral symphonic rock group that defied conventional categorization.

DeLaughter's most recent artistic evolution came during the pandemic with "Salvage Enterprise," a deeply personal album that challenged him to learn recording techniques and rediscover his creative voice after a period of drought. His innovative approach to sharing this music - creating pop-up listening experiences under the stars and later developing an immersive planetarium award winning film called "Resolution" - demonstrates his continued determination to create meaningful connections between art and audience in an era of fragmented listening habits.

Tim is currently preparing for Tripping Daisy's upcoming national tour, the first in decades, which will be celebrating the 30th anniversary release of their record, "I Am An Elastic Firecracker," by playing the entire album, along with all your other favorites.

While this has been a source of much excitement, in comes during a difficult time, as Tim has been processing the recent loss of his very close friend and Good Records co-founder, Chris Penn, who helped to plan the entire tour. It has given him a lot to reflect and think about. When I asked him about what he thought of his musical legacy, DeLaughter replied: "I hope that my output has helped people overcome a lot of things, because it's helped me overcome a lot of things. My music has saved me personally, and I hope that for other people."

His story reminds us that true artistic innovation often emerges from our most challenging moments, and that music's greatest power lies in its ability to help both creator and listener navigate life's darkest passages to reach for new heights and find the positive things in life that propel or pull us forward.

Celebrating a remarkable milestone of 100+ episodes and three years behind the microphone, this special anniversary episode offers a candid look at the journey of the Son of a Blitch podcast. From the first podcast recording three years ago with my good friend, Matthew Mitchell, at my kitchen table to holding conversations with rock stars, major motion picture starring actors, multiple #1 NYT Bestselling Authors, and more, this passion project has evolved in ways I never imagined.

The podcast's foundations were laid years ago during my travels with former National Geographic Writer and bestselling author, Harvey Arden, where I helped to interview Indigenous Elders from all around the world. We called ourselves "BridgeKeepers" – preserving and sharing the wisdom, culture and history of our guests, without imposing our own editorial lens. That same philosophy guides my approach today, providing a platform for fascinating voices across arts, literature, music and beyond. Whether sitting across from Jack Carr discussing his latest thriller, chatting with the drummer of Nine Inch Nails, or exploring a new recipe with a James Beard Award Winning Chef, each conversation seeks to uncover what makes these exceptional individuals tick.

Looking ahead to year four, I'm excited to balance the podcast with other creative endeavors, including completing a book about Bob Lemmons – a former slave who became one of history's most famous Black cowboys and worked alongside and ranched with my great-grandfather. 

As I continue scheduling interviews with returning favorites and new voices, I want to express my deepest gratitude to everyone who has listened, shared, and supported this journey. Your encouragement has transformed what began as an experiment into a fulfilling mission to connect people through stories that matter. 

If you haven't already done so, I invite you to Subscribe to catch the upcoming interviews with Tim DeLaughter from Tripping Daisy and Polyphonic Spree, and another one with famed chef, Hank Shaw, celebrating his new cookbook, "Borderlands".

I hope you'll join me as we embark on the next chapter of Son of a Blitch Podcast!

Once again, THANK YOU for all the support, my friends!

The Last Rodeo stands as a powerful testament to authentic American storytelling, combining the grit and spectacle of professional bull riding with a deeply moving father-daughter reconciliation narrative. Award-Winning Producer Kip Konwiser describes it as a story with "sweet and salty" elements, balancing intense rodeo action with emotional family dynamics. The film, which earned a family-friendly PG rating, manages to deliver both high-octane bull riding sequences and heartfelt moments that speak to core American values.

What makes this film particularly unique is the unprecedented level of authenticity achieved in portraying the professional bull riding world. The production team worked closely with the Professional Bull Riders Association (PBR), securing their entire operation for ten days in Tulsa. This collaboration allowed the filmmakers to capture rodeo sequences with exceptional intimacy and realism. Cameras were planted in the ground, often destroyed with each ride and replaced, while smaller pens were constructed to intensify the action. The result is rodeo footage unlike anything previously captured on film, with massive bulls launching cowboys 10-15 feet into the air. This dedication to authenticity reflects the film's broader commitment to genuine storytelling that resonates with audiences seeking entertainment that aligns with traditional American values.

Behind the scenes, The Last Rodeo represents a deeply personal journey for actor Neal McDonough, who stars in and co-wrote the film. McDonough's career trajectory parallels themes in the movie, as he famously stepped away from lucrative Hollywood opportunities that conflicted with his personal values, particularly his commitment to not film intimate scenes with actresses other than his wife. In a beautiful full-circle moment, McDonough's actual wife, Ruve, appears as his love interest in the film. This backstory adds another layer of authenticity to a project already rich with genuine heartland spirit. The film's director, Jon Avnet, brought considerable filmmaking expertise to elevate the production, ensuring the story could "speak to our entire country" rather than remain a small independent film. This collaborative effort, guided by McDonough's "North Star" vision, resulted in a film that aims to remind viewers that when they believe in their truth and form community around shared values, they discover their "superpower."

The Last Rodeo ultimately delivers a message about American resilience, redemption, and the importance of staying true to one's values despite challenges. It showcases exceptional performances not just from McDonough but also from Mykelti Williamson (whose character serves as the "access point" for audiences and the film's source of humor and faith) and Sarah Jones. 

In an entertainment landscape often disconnected from traditional values, The Last Rodeo offers a refreshingly authentic alternative that families can enjoy together while experiencing a genuine slice of American culture. As Memorial Day weekend approaches, this film provides the perfect opportunity for audiences to support local cinemas while experiencing a story that celebrates faith, family, and freedom in the uniquely American setting of professional bull riding.

Mykelti Williamson's enthusiasm for "The Last Rodeo" radiates through our conversation as he describes this unique film that combines professional bull riding, comedy, emotion, and family values. As Williamson explains, the story centers around a "busted up old bull rider" whose grandson desperately needs emergency surgery. The protagonist has alienated himself from everyone important in his life - his daughter, his best friend - and now must reconnect with them to help save his grandson.

What makes this film stand out in today's entertainment landscape is its accessibility to audiences of all ages. Williamson emphasizes that "The Last Rodeo" is something families can enjoy together without parents worrying about inappropriate content. Produced by Angel Studios, the film maintains a PG rating while delivering an emotionally powerful story. Williamson draws a compelling comparison to "Forrest Gump" in terms of the pure joy he feels about this film's release, noting that both films have a special quality that resonates differently with different viewers: "Some people get it now, some people get it later, and some people get it a little too late, but they get it."

The production brought together an impressive gathering of talent both on-screen and behind the scenes. Williamson speaks glowingly about working alongside Neal McDonough (who plays Joe Rainwright), Sarah Jones, Chris McDonald, director John Avnet and producer Kip Konwiser. The film also features actual Professional Bull Riding (PBR) champions, adding authenticity to the rodeo scenes. Williamson, who already had horseback riding experience, appreciated being surrounded by elite bull riders like Ezekiel Mitchell and Daylon Swearingen, though he humorously notes that at his height of nearly 6'3", he wasn't about to get on a bull himself: "I'm not built for it... I'd come off of it like a slingshot."

Williamson's character, Charlie Williams, provides a compelling counterpoint to McDonough's Joe Rainwright. Charlie is described as a hardworking, honorable man who served his country in the military alongside Joe. Their friendship has weathered challenges, and part of the film's journey involves Charlie helping Joe find his way back into their relationship and reconnect with his family. The dynamic between these characters explores themes of loyalty, forgiveness, and redemption - how even fractured relationships can be mended when the stakes are high enough.

When asked what he hopes audiences will take from the film, Williamson offers a thoughtful response that aligns with the movie's multi-layered appeal: "Audiences always take away from a movie what they bring to it." He hopes viewers will leave feeling better, having experienced "some goodness, some fun" and perhaps a renewed appreciation for what people can achieve when they work together. The film celebrates American values while telling a universal story about family, friendship, and second chances. For Williamson personally, "The Last Rodeo" represents the kind of legacy he wants to leave - entertainment that affirms positive values and brings families together.

"The Last Rodeo" opens in theaters on May 23rd, bringing its unique blend of bull riding action, emotional depth, and family-friendly entertainment to audiences nationwide. As Williamson promises with confident enthusiasm: "When you see this film, you're going to feel really good, man, really good."

In the heart of East Texas, between Dallas and Houston, lies the Stone Ranch - a wildlife sanctuary born from one man's love for his parents and his passion for the outdoors. Jon Stone, a commercial general contractor by day, embarked on an unexpected journey into ranch development following a family tragedy.

The origin story of Stone Ranch is deeply personal and profoundly moving. After Jon's parents experienced a traumatic home invasion, his mother heroically defended the family, earning her the nickname "Warrior Princess." Wanting to bring joy back into their lives, Jon purchased land near their home in Crockett, Texas, with the initial goal of creating a place where he could take pictures and videos of wildlife to share with his parents. What began as a simple gesture of love expanded into something much greater as the Stone Ranch has developed.
 
Starting with topographical maps and a protractor, Jon designed the property around natural features, creating strategically placed water features, blinds, and feeders. He worked with timber companies to clear pastures while preserving the natural flow of the land. The result is a sustainable ecosystem that supports diverse wildlife including whitetail deer, axis deer, fallow deer, black buck antelope, bison, bongos, and sable. His trophy fishing pond has yielded bass over 12 pounds, while separate catfish ponds provide endless catch-and-cook opportunities.
 
What makes Stone Ranch truly special is its accessibility. It is conveniently located just a couple hours from major Texas cities. This proximity has made it an ideal destination for families, corporate retreats, bachelor parties, girlfriend getaways, and soon, weddings. The ranch offers various packages, from individual experiences to group adventures, all with the unique selling proposition of exclusivity - when you book Stone Ranch, you have the entire property to yourself!
 
Beyond the ranch experience, Jon has launched "Heartbeat of a Hunter," an outdoor lifestyle brand inspired by his love for wildlife and conservation. The brand encapsulates the adrenaline rush that comes with outdoor pursuits - whether hunting for game, the perfect photograph, or simply moments of joy and connection with nature. The distinctive heartbeat logo symbolizes the passion that drives outdoor enthusiasts of all types.
 
Perhaps most meaningful is Jon's commitment to sharing his ranch with others, particularly those who might not otherwise have access to such experiences. Veterans, first responders, children, and those dealing with illness are always welcome. He takes special pride in empowering women through outdoor skills and self-defense training, inspired by his mother's courage. For families, the animal feedings and safari rides provide unforgettable memories as children and adults alike come face-to-face with exotic wildlife.
 
As Stone Ranch continues to grow, with plans for a 10,000-square-foot lodge and wedding venue overlooking the water, Jon remains focused on creating an environment where people can build lifelong memories and annual traditions. The venture has evolved from a simple desire to make his parents smile into a thriving business that touches countless lives, all while staying true to its founding principles of sharing, conservation, and creating joy.
 
Whether you're seeking adventure, tranquility, or simply a connection with nature, Stone Ranch offers a uniquely personal Texas outdoor experience that keeps people coming back year after year. stoneranchtx.com

And for any of your outdoor enthusiast loved ones, HeartbeatofaHunter.com certainly has unique jewelry, knife sets and fashionable apparel!

In this episode, we dive deep into the career of Lance Krueger, an acclaimed wildlife photographer known for his close encounters with some guy of the most elusive creatures. The conversation begins with Lance sharing his childhood memories of how hunting magazines ignited his passion for photography. He recalls dreaming of capturing the stunning images he admired, never realizing that he would one day take those same photographs for the very magazines that inspired him. Fun fact: he has more Field & Stream covers than any other photographer, to this day.

After saving diligently from a summer job at a cafeteria in his youth, he acquired his first camera and lens, and the rest is history. With each roll of film, he learned the nuances of framing, exposure, and how to capture the spirit and essence of the animals he loved photographing. The anecdote of his first roll of film, where he impressed a local photographer with his natural eye for composition, serves as a testament to his innate talent.

Throughout his career, Lance has forged a unique relationship with his subjects. He has particularly focused on capturing white-tailed deer, despite the common belief that they are the challenging subject to photograph. Lance emphasizes the importance of understanding the animal's behavior and habitat. It’s here that he distinguishes himself from many wildlife photographers who rely heavily on large telephoto lenses. Instead, he employs smaller equipment and focuses on getting as close to the wildlife as possible. His innovative techniques include building custom blinds to draw deer in closer, ultimately leading to more intimate and impactful captures.

With over 30 years of professional experience under his belt, Lance now offers the “Whitetail Dream Buck Up-Close Master Class” where he shares his wealth of knowledge with aspiring photographers. These classes focus on strategies to overcome the nuances of photographing elusive wildlife and emphasize the art of getting close, not just in physical proximity but also in composition. He insists that one does not need to have the most expensive equipment to achieve magazine-quality images; rather, it’s about understanding the light, the environment, and the animal itself.

One of the most exciting tales that emerged during the episode is Lance’s recent encounter with a palmated buck, a rare deer that resembles a mix of a fallow deer and a moose. After a grueling search that involved numerous sits on a 10,000 acre ranch, for a deer that hadn't been seen in the previous two months. His meticulous preparation paid off when he finally spotted the buck in a stunning moment, capturing thousands of photographs from a mere 20 yards away. The thrill of that experience underscores the exhilarating unpredictability of wildlife photography—a theme that resonates deeply throughout this episode. 

Listeners are treated to practical advice throughout the discussion, from tips on choosing the right equipment to the significance of local knowledge in wildlife behavior. Lance’s passion for the art form is palpable, and it serves as a reminder of what it means to be a true artist, risking time and effort for the perfect shot. Furthermore, the episode wraps up with discussion surrounding Lance's annual photography calendar—a collector's item which not only features stunning images but also shares stories and insights behind each capture.

In a candid and inspiring conversation, Kip Fulks shares the remarkable journey that took him from co-founding Under Armour to running an Alaskan hunting outfitter and American-made brewery. His story is a masterclass in following one's passion while maintaining an extraordinary work ethic that has fueled multiple successful ventures throughout his career.

His father, a Marine and Vietnam veteran, instilled in him an appreciation for the outdoors, using backcountry trips as family vacations and personal healing spaces. This foundation created Kip's lifelong connection to hunting, fishing, and outdoor pursuits - though he admits he sometimes "bitched and moaned" about being dragged into the wilderness as a teenager, only to find himself doing the same thing as an adult.

Sports provided Fulks with positive reinforcement he wasn't finding in academics. He excelled at lacrosse, playing at University of Maryland and professionally for many years. During this time, a fateful meeting with Kevin Plank led to Fulks trying on an innovative tight-fitting performance shirt. Impressed, he immediately asked how to get involved with what would become Under Armour. Working from Plank's grandmother's basement with "stinky, mildewy boxes," they built what would become a multi-billion-dollar global brand. Fulks eventually served as both COO and CMO during his two-decade tenure.

After years of "burning the candle at both ends" directing product development and manufacturing across hundreds of global factories, Fulks proposed creating a specialized outdoors division within UA. This venture, focusing on hunting, fishing, camping, skiing and snowboarding, grew from $30 million to approximately $300 million. More importantly, it revolutionized technical hunting apparel, moving the industry away from cotton products to high-performance fabrics better suited for challenging environments.

Today, Fulks channels his entrepreneurial energy into Big Truck Brewery, where he uses locally-grown grain to create craft beers marketed to outdoor enthusiasts. He's purchased farmland in Maryland, satisfying what he calls his "fetish for land" - tangible investments he made as protection against the uncertainties of paper wealth. The brewery reflects his philosophy about drinking: enjoyed responsibly after earning it through hard work like splitting wood or completing a successful hunt.

Perhaps most ambitiously, Fulks acquired Bushwhack Alaska, an outfitter specializing in brown bear, grizzly and moose hunts. He's committed to becoming a registered Alaskan guide while operating approximately one million acres of hunting territory. Drawing on his experiences as a client, he focuses on creating exceptional adventures rather than just successful harvests.

We also spend some time talking about the film, "Once We Were Wolves", featuring Cameron Hanes' first trip back to Alaska after his friend Roy passed away. Kip hired Branlin Shockey to film the hunt. You should watch it!
 
Fulks' perspective on legacy is refreshingly grounded. He aims to leave physical structures that outlast him and a handful of stories about his tenacity that might inspire future generations. With characteristic bluntness, he acknowledges past mistakes but remains focused on what matters: "What are you going to do today?"

In a recent conversation with Ryan Holm, Director of Marketing at Leica Sports Optics, we explored how the company's century-long expertise in optical technology is revolutionizing the way hunters and shooters interact with their equipment.
 
What sets Leica apart in today's competitive optics market is their philosophy of integration rather than isolation. While many manufacturers are developing closed, proprietary systems that lock users into their specific ecosystem, Leica has designed their products to work seamlessly with industry-leading software and hardware from other manufacturers, creating a more versatile and user-friendly experience for sportsmen and women.
 
The GeoVid Pro AB+ rangefinding binoculars exemplify this approach, featuring onboard Applied Ballistics technology—the only binoculars in the industry with this capability. This integration eliminates the need to reference separate tools in the field, streamlining the shooting process and improving accuracy. As Holm explains, "Leica is taking more of an approach of an open ecosystem where we integrate with the best technology in the industry." This includes partnerships with Applied Ballistics, OnX, and other industry leaders to create a comprehensive solution for hunters and precision shooters.
 
Leica's thermal imaging technology represents another area where the company's heritage of excellence in optical sensors provides a meaningful advantage. Having manufactured cameras and sensors for over a century, Leica has transferred this expertise to thermal imaging. Their Calonox Sight SE clip-on thermal device attaches to existing rifle scopes using the Rusan adapter system, allowing users to transform their current optic into a thermal scope without purchasing an entirely new system. This modular approach lets shooters move the thermal unit between different rifles by simply purchasing additional adapters, maximizing versatility and value.
 
The evolution of the modern hunter and shooter has significantly influenced Leica's product development. As Holm notes, the industry has shifted from the traditional hunter who "pulls their rifle out once a year, a week before the season" to a more prepared, technically-savvy sportsperson who participates in competitions like NRL Hunter or PRS matches. Leica has responded with products featuring thoughtfully designed reticles and illumination systems that reduce cognitive load in stressful shooting situations.
 
Leica's Amplus 6 rifle scope demonstrates this approach with its clean, uncluttered reticle featuring an illuminated center dot that produces a clear aiming point without overwhelming the shooter with excessive markings—a perfect balance of simplicity and functionality for hunting applications.
 
Looking toward the future, Leica Sports Optics is poised to continue its innovation with several new product launches scheduled for later this year, including the Calonox 2 thermal device and enhanced rangefinder offerings. The company is also increasing its presence in competitive shooting, sponsoring both the PRS and NRL series while supporting community events like the Total Archery Challenge.
 
With their combination of optical excellence, cutting-edge technology, and open integration approach, Leica Sports Optics is positioned to lead the next generation of hunting and shooting optics—creating tools that enhance the experience for sportspeople at all levels of expertise.
