District of Conservation Host Gabriella Hoffman makes her return to the show this week. She recently appeared on FOX News to help spread awareness on hunting's role in conservation. We discuss that and the counter movement by anti hunting factions and [...]
I've been fascinated by birds of prey my entire life. Falcons, hawks, owls...you name it, I love watching them and identifying each species I come across. As much as I enjoy these winged predators, Bladen Benson enjoys them exponentially more. So [...]
Todd Erhlich joins Cable on this edition of Campfire Conversations. The Kill Cliff sports drink founder is a former Navy SEAL. He's also a driven entrepreneur. We discuss what it was like bringing Kill Cliff to an already saturated market place. [...]

Dalton Smith came from Kentucky to Texas' Lake O.H. Ivie with the goal of catching a share lunker largemouth in mind (13 plus lb largemouth bass). Not only did he succeed but he's done it three times! The first two both [...]
I've hunted Mule deer in 4 states with modest success. Sure, I've killed a few bucks, but eaten tag soup more often than not. The grey ghost and I consequently have developed a love/hate relationship as a result. So when my [...]
