Episode 262 - Happening Now || Against The Texas Mountain Lion Petition Aug 25, 2022

Show notes

It’s the ‘other side of the coin’ regarding the Texas mountain lions petition. Greg Simons of Wildlife Systems (along with a number of other companies) is a wildlife manager, hunter, and lover of wildlife (including Mountain Lions). He has hosted a screening of "Deep in the Heart" in San Angeloa, and moderated a panel discussions on it. Ben Masters actually recommended him to us, along with two other individuals in the mountain lion community. In this episode, we delve into the ‘anti’ side of the petition. Greg is AGAINST the petition.

Episode 261 - Happening Now || Ben Masters with the Texas For Mountain Lions Coalition Aug 25, 2022

Show notes

You could say Ben Masters is ‘in the news’ right now. He’s a member of the Texas For Mountain Lions Coalition that recently submitted a petition to Texas Parks and Wildlife around mountain lions in Texas. As the filmmaker behind ‘Deep In The Heart’, he tackles mountain lions - specifically trapping as the mechanism for declining mountain lion populations. In this ‘can’t miss’ conversation, Robbie asks him about anecdotal evidence, his thoughts about moving forward, and if he’s really as anti-hunting and anti-trapping as the rhetoric says he is.

Episode 256 - Wayne King | Texas High Fence #4 Aug 15, 2022

Show notes

Wayne is the general manager of Tequesquite Ranch in Southwest Texas. The epitome of an old school Texas rancher, Wayne continues our Texas High Fence podcast series with some very strong opinions about what constitutes hunting, versus killing. This series of podcasts is purposefully being put out there to challenge our thinking about the idea of high fences - what they are, what they mean for hunting, and ask tough questions about them.

Episode 255 - Kaitlin Hendrick | Texas High Fence #3 Aug 11, 2022

Show notes

Kaitlin is the daughter of a very experienced hunter and comes from a family in the outdoor industry, running a high fence operation west of San Angelo, Texas. In this third installment of our Texas High Fence exploration series, she and Robbie sit down to talk about the property and the management and, above all, the care of the animals on the property - which is second to none. Kaitlin’s perspective as a young, 25-year-old woman raised in a family that hunted as much as they did and got into the business of high fence operations is unique, and worth a listen.

Episode 254 - Nic De Castro || LandTrust Aug 09, 2022

Show notes

On last week’s roundup, frequent guest and certified pistol Matt Rinella called out LandTrust, an organization that seeks to connect private landowners and hunters to exchange value for opportunity. Nic De Castro, the founder and CEO of LandTrust, refutes that. He and Robbie discuss LandTrust’s mission and why Nic thinks LandTrust is actually PROVIDING public access to private ground, rather than taking it away as Matt claimed.
