What a great lineup for this week! As most of you bowhunters are probably aware by now, a 194 inch Hopkins County whitetail was taken down on opening morning of archery season. Kyle Koon of Sulpher Springs, TX watched this buck grow up for 4 years before decided to harvest him as a monstrous 4 1/2 year old this fall. This buck will shatter the Hopkins County record and also is a testament to what sound management practices can do. The deer was taken on a 500 acre low fence property. Kyle tells us all about that special morning as well as some of his management philosophies. Here is a trail cam pic of the buck and Kyle with his trophy on opening morning.

Then another special guest drops by to talk whitetail management- Jack McElroy of Oasis Wildlife Water Systems. Oasis is a relatively new company specializing in providing a reliable water source for the wildlife on your ranch and lease. Jack saw a need to get water to his deer on his Hill Country lease and the result was the creation of Oasis. Inspired by the Texas deer hunter for the Texas deer hunter.

We then round things out when one of my favorite singer/songwriters joins us. The pride of the Canadian Rockies, it’s the great Corb Lund. Corb grew up hunting and fishing his family ranch in some of the most rugged land in North America. His family owned a cattle ranch and Corb is no stranger to rodeoing and steer wrestling. So how did a Rocky Mountain cowboy start making some of the best Texas style music around? Corb tells all. Should be a good un ya’ll!
