Synopsis of Episode 42:

Off the top we’ll visit with our favorite angler- Mineola’s own Kelly Jordon. Kelly is gearing up for the Bassmaster Classic and upcoming Elite Series but he still found some time to head to the Panhandle and harvest a trophy pronghorn! We will talk about that experience as well as the Louisiana Delta and how Kelly thinks the fishing will be at the 2011 Classic. Also, BASS announced a few changes in the qualifying structure for the Elite Series and the Classic, so Kelly gives us his take on that as well.

Then one of our state’s most respected outdoorsman- Gary Roberson– drops in to talk predator hunting. Gary has decades worth of experience and his article The Bobcat: Texas Most Secretive Predator was featured in the July/August edition of Texas Trophy Hunter Magazine. I want a nice bobcat mount for my study and so I’ve asked Gary to share his knowledge on calling and hunting cats with us. What should I look for when deciding where to make a call? How long should I wait before moving locations? What are his favorite sounds for bobcats? Electronic vs mouth calls…all that and a whole lot more.

Then Ducks Unlimited Senior Regional Director Jim Lillis stops by…but we aren’t talking ducks! In 2007, Jim was drawn for one of the Hagerman Wildlife Refuge archery hunts in Grayson County. On that day he experienced the whitetail hunt that most of us can only dream about- harvesting a then state record typical whitetail that grossed over 180 and scored 175 2/8 inches!!! His Boone and Crockett beast is still number 1 in the LSBA record books and I am thrilled to have Jim tell his tale during the show.
