Alaskan Governor Mike Dunleavy wasn't hard to find at the SCI Convention in Las Vegas, I simply looked for the tallest guy in the room. Once I found the governor, he was more than willing to carve out a few minutes [...]
Each January I head west to Pavur Outdoors (Seymour, TX) where I'm joined by my Missouri boys. This was our 6th annual duck/hogapolooza hunt where we spend 3 or 4 days chasing ducks and thermal hog hunting. It's always one of [...]
It was a normal morning in the whitetail woods for bowhunter Justin Swift when one miss step nearly cost him his life. However, quick thinking and a quick response by local emergency personnel ultimately left him with a hell of a [...]
I've been to South Africa's Eastern Cape five times since it last saw decent rainfall. That all changed recently when the heavens opened up. While certainly needed, it came with a price as fences washed away, animals drowned and tank dams [...]
Dan Staton and I were able to share a camp together for the first time in South Texas this fall. We joined up with another mutual friend and Pnuma Recon Team Member Chad Alan Jones for a few days of bowhunting [...]
Always great catching up with SCI's Director Of Government Affairs Ben Cassidy. Lots of interesting stuff to discuss on this episode of Campfire Conversations.
When I heard that the Wisconsin DNR was telling hunters to wear a mask when cleaning dead deer this fall I honestly didn't know whether to laugh or cringe. Sounds like more fear mongering regarding the pandemic that has altered all [...]
I've shot Kent waterfowl loads since I was in college. When the opportunity to work with a brand I already used and trusted came up 4 years ago, of course I jumped at the opportunity. It was awesome to have Kent [...]
Oklahoma State student Cort Travis recently took down this Boone and Crockett monster during Oklahoma's muzzle loader season. He joins the show to talk about chasing this wary bruiser. Sacrifices were made in the process as Cort cut classes and skipped [...]
I'm not saying this is the best show I've ever done, but it might be the most important. As a father and as a conservationist I look at my kids as my legacy just like many of you do. If we [...]
I've visited with tons of interesting people over the years and Jason Jeter is no exception. We've been friends for some time, although much of that interaction has been through social media. So it caught my attention when Instagram deleted his [...]
I remember hearing Keith Warren talking on stage at a hunting trade show years ago. He shared a story that has stuck with me since when he and his son went on a Canadian black bear hunt and the guide drank [...]
Glad to have SCI Government Affairs Director Ben Cassidy jump back on for this episode of Campfire Conversations. The title of the episode pretty much sums up the talking points. It's infuriating how the animal rights activists slip this kind of [...]
Episode 597 was one of the most fun discussions I've had in some time. It's always a treat to have world renowned big game hunter and adventurer Corey Knowlton in the studio. This week, his friend and Jim Shockey's cameraman of [...]
Every bowhunter has their preferred broadhead. Taking that into account, don't switch if you're getting great results with your current set up. However, if you've been left scratching your head or are interested in longtime outdoor writer Will Brantley's 2 year [...]
There's no doubt that the Cecil the lion catastrophe of 2015 has had the most negative impact on hunting in my life time. It looked like we were headed for a similar situation with the recent legal Zimbabwe hunt of "Mopane" [...]
Whether you're planning a DIY back country elk hunt or determining where to set up tree stands on your whitetail property, OnX Hunt's technology is an invaluable tool for the modern hunter. I am thrilled to have partnered with a company [...]
International Sportsman's Jeremy Mallette joins the show this week. We dive into the Biden Administration's recent decision to ban the import of ALL Russian made ammunition and firearms. The premise as to why the POTUS and his staff decided to take [...]
When the pair of dove came back to nest on my patio speaker for the 4th time this spring/summer I knew I had to get a specialist on to discuss what I was witnessing. Yes, they come back every season and [...]
Elite Archery's Larry McCoy's life work has been done with a stick and string. In addition to heading up Elite Archery's PR team, he's also the host of their longtime bowhunting show "Respect the Game". So when I came to the [...]
Another safari in the books, another adventure that won't be soon forgotten. However, my 5th trip hunting South Africa with John X Safaris was uniquely it's own experience for a couple reasons. Primarily, it was because I took a bow instead [...]
Do you remember the first fish you caught? I do, it was a panfish. Likely either a bluegill or a red eared sunfish. Most people probably have a similar memory due to these fish's availability and how easy they can be [...]
