This one goes back to 2010. Actually Episode 18 of the Lone Star Outdoor Show. Baylor Basketball head coach Scott Drew was fresh of an Elite 8 loss to the eventual National Champion Duke Blue Devils. I cut that segment out [...]
I expect to hear anti hunters/animal rights activists banging the drum for an all out lead ammunition ban. What I don't understand are the hunters who agree with them or want to push the envelope on why we should voluntarily make [...]
These conversations are always hard. However, being a humanitarian doesn't mean a country can simply open it's borders. The word "country" itself implies a government ruling over a geographic area defined by it's borders. So keeping that in mind, we take [...]
The Bone Collector crew has long been the face of outdoor television and despite their huge success Nick Mundt, Travis "T-Bone" Turner and Michael Waddell remain some of the nicest and most down to earth individuals in the hunting community. They [...]

It has become quite clear that I have more content than I can release during one show every week. So, the "Campfire Conversations" bonus content series begins here. They might be a little more niche than the regular Lone Star Outdoor [...]
Wildlife film maker Ben Masters and I recently had a disagreement on social media after his post in support of the film "Project Coyote" which was produced and directed by his buddy Filipe DeAndrade (film maker for NAT GEO). I certainly [...]
I've read the classics from Capstick and Ruark as hunting cape buffalo has long been romanticized by early big game hunters turned authors. To finally experience what they so eloquently describe on paper was a dream come true. A bucketlist hunt [...]
Fenix Ammunition recently made headlines for this disclaimer that appears when you visit their website. If you click "YES" the site redirects the user to Joe Biden's Gun Control Policy page. The company's founder Justin Nazaroff makes no apologies. Simply put, [...]
Few big game hunters have traveled the globe searching for the next adventure like Corey Knowlton has. He's hunted in over 60 countries and counting. So when you talk international travel, adventure and conservation from a global perspective, he has a [...]

California State Senator Scott Wiener introduced legislation that would end all bear hunting. California Senate Bill 252 would make it unlawful to hunt or take bears in the state by designating bears as a nongame mammal. Our old friend Brian Lynn [...]
Steven Rinella makes his return to the show this week. We discuss the recent phenomenon of reality tv survival skill shows vs the more likely situations outdoor enthusiasts are actually going to find themselves in. His new book "The Meateater Guide [...]
Travis "T-Bone" Turner truly is one of the outdoor industry's larger than life personalities. The longtime Bone Collector member is also one of the nicest fellas you'll come across. On this week's episode, we discuss some of the more ridiculous game [...]

Henry and I packed the truck up after Thanksgiving and headed to our 700 acre deer lease. The forecast called for rain most of the weekend so expectations were a bit tempered. However, we ended up seeing more deer movement during [...]
Captain Len Girard joins me from Corpus Christi Bay for a special coastal fishing report. If you're interested in trout or redfish, how the hurricanes have impacted the fishing or how the guide industry has been impacted by the pandemic then [...]
New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy has made a habit out of using Executive Order to supersede scientific wildlife management. Despite the New Jersey Division of Fish and Wildlife's recommendation, he banned black bear hunting on state land in 2018. Our old [...]
