When I got wind that Texas Parks and Wildlife was considering cancelling the long standing spring snow goose conservation season (you know, the one where you take the plug out of your shotgun and there's no daily bag limit) I was immediately intrigued. WHY? The conservation order has been in place since the mid 1980s. [...]

When the Endangered Species Act passed in 1973 it was widely supported by hunters, conservationists and animal lovers alike. However, somewhere along the way it's mission was abandoned. Animals no longer needing protections stay on the list in perpetuity. When biologists deem a species recovered and recommend removing them, the antis sue to try to [...]

When I first saw the video of thousands upon thousands of snow geese frozen solid on a lake, I was initially shocked. Then I immediately wondered, what happened? It turns out the video I saw is actually one of many like it, and this is occurring somewhat frequently in the Dakotas. Free lance waterfowl content [...]

Hunting Ethics are deeply personal. What some of us deem as kosher or even necessary, others throw shade at. On this week's show I sit down with Outdoor Life contributor Nick Fasciano. After reading his feature on a recent Idaho mule deer hunt, I knew I wanted to visit with him about how he handled [...]

Ducks Unlimited Senior Waterfowl Scientist Mike Brasher makes his return on this installment of Campfire Conversations. We take an in depth look at the 2023-2024 Waterfowl season. What was the general consensus from duck hunters? Where certain regions still lights out? I try to pin Mike down on why mallards (specifically) don't appear to be [...]

When people release exotic pets into an environment there are often severe repercussions. If a population is established, the native species always lose.

Dan Gates has been running ragged of late, making public appearance after appearance, podcast after podcast, commission meeting after commission meeting as the head of CRWM (Coloradans For Responsible Wildlife Management). Dan never thought Colorado would become the anti hunting movement's playground, but it has and so this is his life now. We both agree [...]

The range of outcomes when an arrow or a bullets hits a deer is as varied as the day is long. If you've ever made a marginal shot on a deer, you might have called or thought about reaching out to someone with a good blood tracking dog. But what if there's no blood? What [...]

I met Sam Mackey in Nashville at the SCI show. We hit it off and ended up smoking a couple cigars afterwards. The natural conversation flow was an easy one, it consisted of hunting, hunting and more hunting. So when Sam said he'd like to come on the podcast, I knew the we'd have [...]

Mixing great pointing dogs with a bird of prey on an upland hunt seems like an odd technique. However, it's one that Tyler Sladen has mastered. The veteran falconer and pointing dog enthusiast uses his dogs to point/flush coveys before releasing his Goshawk to actually catch the quail. Tyler joins the show this week to [...]

As we've documented on previous episodes, Colorado is attempting to ban ALL mountain lion hunting by ballot initiative this November. The antis have reverted to the same playbook they used to pass wolf reintroduction - let the uneducated and emotionally swayed public decide the fate of sustainable use hunting and conservation. The recipe is one [...]

Henry just turned 11 and if you ask him how long he's been hunting with his old man, he'd tell you "my entire life". Which is true considering there are photos of him and Belle in a dove patch where he's sitting in a stroller with a fan on him and a bottle of milk [...]
