Whether you use AI regularly or detest it, the reality is that it's here to stay. Our longtime partners StealthCam have embraced AI head on and as a result have a myriad of new functions designed to make your whitetail hunting experience as productive as possible. Joining us on today's show is StealthCam's Tim Kjellesvik [...]

Our good friend Brandon Maxwell of Diligent Defense Suppressors joins the conversation this week. We dive into a myriad of topics with the lifelong sportsman and Pennsylvania native. Talking points include: Pennsylvania hunters finally can hunt on Sunday! Or can they? Deer drives and Pennsylvania hunting cutlrure His time hunting in Texas Diligent Defense's origins [...]

I recently came across an Instagram clip of a guy slowly kayaking towards a big boar that was sound asleep on the creek bank. He then cleanly dispatched the pig with an open site rifle of some kind. I don't know why it stuck with me, but I was immediately interested in seeing more. A [...]

Western Justice Legislative Fund founder Dave Duquette joins the conversation this week. When I asked Dave what purpose Western Justice served, he replied, "think NRA, but for the Western lifestyle and all that encompasses." His organization is the leader in advocating for ranchers and subsequently hunters as well. In addition to their lobbyist work, they've [...]

Robert Perez makes his return to the show this week. The former Texas Parks and Wildlife Director of Hunter Education and lifelong Texan has some hot take on the Trump Administrations recent Reinvigorating America's Hunting Heritage executive order 14429. Highlights and takeaways from today's discussion and how the executive order should positively impact hunters include: [...]

The USFWS recently released the findings from the 2026 annual waterfowl survey. Our old friend Dr. Mike Brasher (Ducks Unlimited Chief Waterfowl Scientist) makes his return to discuss the results and they mean for ducks and duck hunters alike for the foreseeable future. Mike and I have developed a solid report over the years, so [...]

I had the chance to sit down with Brandon McDow of Tejas Hunt Club at the recent Texas Trophy Hunters Extravaganza in Fort Worth recently. While Brandon and I had met previously at other trade shows, this was the first time we had the opportunity to shoot the breeze for an extended period of time. [...]

We've all battled it out, chasing ducks or big bass on public water. Of course, those successes are absolutely worth celebrating. However, as we enter different seasons of life our goals often change. Maybe we have less free time than we once did. Maybe we want to make the experience all about our kiddos, or [...]

"How bad do you want it?" - that was the question my outfitter Mike Young of Lonesome Mountain Outfitters asked me on the first day of our 9-day British Columbia mountain goat hunt. On this episode I am joined by my friend and hunting buddy of 20 plus years (and Justified Pursuit Podcast co-host) Chisum [...]

Matt Stoll is eaten up with chasing big whitetail bucks with his bow. His passion for whitetail deer ultimately led him to start creating some insane whitetail art. The self-taught welder and I sat down at the recent Texas Trophy Hunters Extravaganza in Fort Worth to talk big bucks and his awesome steel whitetail european [...]

Jeremiah Doughty is one of the most respected wild game chefs in the game. Oddly enough, it was an adult-onset allergy to bovine fat that led him to into a career in the hunting industry that he never imagined. Our old friend and the man behind 'From Field to Plate' makes his return this week [...]

Justin Bowerman has a gift. No singer/songwriter I know can match his talent for telling a hunting or fishing story through a country song. We've been friends for the better part of two decades and have shared duck blinds and turkey camps in that time span. Justin's place in the Lone Star Outdoor Show's history [...]

I've known Brett Jepsen and Charles Spiegel a long time. So long, in fact, that they both had corporate 9-5 jobs when we first started hunting together. Three Curl Outfitters was in its infancy back then (as was this show) which meant Brett was guiding duck hunts part time and barely making enough to break [...]

I traveled down to the New Braunfels area last week to hang out with the good folks over at Woods Cycle Country. The longtime power sports dealership is family owned and operated by hunters and anglers. You walk into the showroom floor and immediately see the taxidermy proudly displayed by their employees. Hunting rifles in [...]

This was one of the most fun conversations I've had in some time. New Jersey native Christian Zeron will tell that he's "old to watches, new to hunting". The luxury watch dealer recently went on his first duck hunt which subsequently led to a full-blown immersion into the outdoor lifestyle. Next thing he knew, he [...]

Madie Demaske is a lifelong big game hunter. The 2026 winner of the prestigious Diana Award (highest honor awarded by SCI to female hunters) has traveled the globe in search of the next hunting adventure a dozen times over. Her true love is mountain hunting for goat and sheep species. Her passion for conservation and [...]

Most duck hunters feel like waterfowl hunting has gotten more difficult in recent years. Some complain of a lack of access while others gripe about overcrowded WMA's and other public water bodies being chalk full of other hunters. Couple that with a multi-year drop in duck numbers and it's not hard to see why most [...]

Our old friend Robbie Kroger of Origins Foundation makes his return to the show this week. We've been friends for nearly a decade at this point, and I always enjoy hearing about the Origin Foundation's latest conservation work. During today's discussion we focus primarily on a recent cheetah relocation project (the largest and riskiest on [...]

Huntstand's Josh Dahlke is obsessed with turkey hunting. When he isn't in the turkey woods each spring, you can find him pouring over Huntstand maps planning next spring's turkey hunts. During today's conversation we dive into a myriad of longbeard related discussion points. Highlights include: Turkey Season recap How many states did he hunt this [...]

"Chronic Wasting Disease is going to wipe out whitetail herds"! We've all heard the jargon put forth by popular NGOs as well as many of our state wildlife governing agencies. But after 18 years of doing this, I (as well as you) am still waiting for the great CWD die off in a whitetail herd. [...]
