Location: Choctaw Hunting Lodge Host: Larry Weishuhn

Dusty Vickrey: Manager of the Choctaw Hunting Lodge.
Jesse Barrett: Representative from Aviant.
Jim Bequette: Longtime friend of Larry Weishuhn.
Jim Block: A regular guest and hunting partner.

In this episode, Larry Weishuhn gathers around the table at the Choctaw Hunting Lodge with a few of his closest friends. The conversation is filled with camaraderie, good-natured ribbing, and deep appreciation for the bonds formed through hunting. The group discusses the impressive advancements in crossbow technology, shares stories of recent successful hunts, and highlights the sentimental value behind gifting and collecting special firearms.

The Evolution of Crossbow Technology

Brian Flaherty from TenPoint visited the lodge to test out their new 2026 crossbow models.
Aviant produces the Gordon Glass limbs that are heavily utilized in the industry.
Modern crossbows are incredibly powerful, with one tested model pushing a 540-grain arrow at speeds exceeding 510 feet per second.
TenPoint broadheads featuring over a 3 1/4 inch cutting surface were used with devastating effectiveness.
Larry successfully used a crossbow with a lit reticle to harvest a hog and to humanely dispatch an injured, three-legged fallow deer doe.

Memorable Hunts and Milestones

Jim Block has the unique distinction of shooting two bison at the Choctaw Hunting Lodge using a Sharps rifle with a black powder cartridge.
Jim Bequette successfully conspired with Jim Block's wife to surprise him with a birthday hog hunt.
The group emphasizes that while taking an animal is the goal, the true value of hunting lies in spending time with old and new friends.

Firearm Addictions and Unforgettable Gifts

Dusty Vickrey openly admits to having a collecting addiction for old bolt-action Remington 700 BDL rifles with wood stocks.
Jim Bequette coordinated secretly with Dusty's wife to gift him a very unique heavy-barrel .223 rifle for Christmas.
In another grand gesture, Jim Bequette transported a 12-foot Remington sign from 1987 all the way from Illinois to hang in the lodge for Dusty.
Larry gifted Jim Bequette an incredibly accurate Marlin 45-70 rifle that originally came from their mutual friend, Tony Ashleman.
The men agree that firearms are ultimately about the memories, the specific hunts, and the people you were with.

EP 330 You Asked & Mr. Whitetail Answers! Q&A with Larry

Thu, 09 Apr 2026 10:00:00 -0000

DSC’s Campfires with Larry Weishuhn – Q&A from the DSC Convention

🔥 Segment 1: Getting Started with Handgun Hunting

🌱 Segment 2: Land Management Without Burning

🐻 Segment 3: Choosing the Right Rifle for Alberta Black Bear

🏹 Closing Thoughts & Upcoming Events

In this episode, Larry Weishuhn takes listeners back to the DSC Convention & Outdoor Expo in Atlanta, sharing insights from one of the most respected conservation organizations in the world. Rather than a traditional guest format, Larry answers three of the most common—and practical—questions he received while connecting with fellow hunters at the event.

Larry dives into a question from a Texas hunter looking to transition from rifles to handgun hunting for game like whitetail, hogs, mule deer, and even elk.

He recommends starting strong with a Taurus Raging Hunter chambered in either:

.460 S&W Magnum (for maximum versatility), or
.454 Casull (a slightly more manageable option)

Rather than beginning with lighter calibers, Larry explains the advantage of using a more powerful platform that allows shooters to practice with lighter loads (like .45 Colt) and gradually work up. He emphasizes:

Versatility across game sizes
Importance of proper optics (red dot or long eye relief scope)
Ethical range limitations (around 150 yards for hunting)

This segment blends practical advice with Larry’s deep personal experience, reinforcing confidence and capability for hunters ready to take on a new challenge.

The second question comes from a landowner in Louisiana and East Texas dealing with overgrown fields during a burn ban.

Larry outlines a highly practical alternative to controlled burns:

Bush hog (shred) the vegetation
Disc the soil to improve water absorption and seed contact
Overseed with a diverse mix, including:

He stresses diversity as the key—planting multiple species increases success and supports a wide range of wildlife, from deer to birds and small game.

The takeaway: even without fire, you can reset and enhance habitat effectively with the right mechanical and seeding approach.

The final question centers on selecting a rifle for a spring black bear hunt in Alberta. The hunter had a wide range of firearms—from classic lever actions to powerful bolt guns.

Larry’s answer is both reassuring and insightful:

Nearly all common big game calibers are more than adequate
The real key is choosing a rifle you’re comfortable and confident with

He shares his personal preference for lever-action rifles, especially for baited hunts where shots are typically within 75 yards. His go-to:

.45-70 lever action (Rossi R95) with a red dot sight

Additional considerations include:

Maneuverability in tight cover
Avoiding overly long barrels for follow-up shots
Ensuring proper documentation when traveling internationally with firearms

The message is clear: shot placement and familiarity matter more than caliber debates.

Larry wraps up by highlighting:

The upcoming DSC Summer Expo at the Gaylord Texan (Grapevine, TX)
Conservation efforts and community impact of DSC
Encouragement to spend more time outdoors and plan future hunts

He also teases upcoming episodes featuring new guests and topics like crossbow hunting.

EP 329 Crossbows, Conservation & the Evolution of the Hunt

Wed, 01 Apr 2026 11:00:00 -0000

Location: Choctaw Hunting Lodge

In this episode of DSC’s Campfires, Larry Weishuhn sits down at the beautiful Choctaw Hunting Lodge with Mark Sidelinger and Brian Flaherty of TenPoint Crossbows. What begins as a conversation about gear quickly turns into a deeper discussion about the evolution of hunting, the role of technology, and how crossbows are reshaping access and opportunity in the outdoors.

From lifelong friendships and family-owned business values to the future of hunting participation, this episode blends storytelling, innovation, and a shared passion for conservation and ethical harvest.

The Rise of Crossbows in Modern Hunting Larry explores how crossbows have grown from niche equipment into a powerful and accessible tool for hunters of all backgrounds. With rifle-like familiarity and increasing precision, crossbows are opening new doors for both seasoned and first-time hunters.

Recruitment, Retention & Recreation – The “Three R’s” The conversation highlights how crossbows help:

Recruit new hunters into the sport
Retain aging or physically limited hunters
Provide new ways to recreate and extend hunting seasons

This philosophy emphasizes growing the overall hunting community—not just competing for market share.

Accuracy, Ethics & Real-World Application While modern crossbows deliver impressive accuracy—even at longer distances—the discussion reinforces ethical hunting practices, with most shots remaining within 40 yards. The balance between technology and responsibility remains central.

A New Challenge for Experienced Hunters Larry shares his personal shift from skepticism to appreciation after hands-on experience. For hunters who have “done it all” with rifles and handguns, crossbows offer a fresh challenge while maintaining familiarity and precision.

Hunting as a Lifestyle – From Field to Table
The group reflects on the deeper rewards of hunting, including harvesting wild game, providing food, and connecting with nature. Stories from the field—including Brian’s successful axis deer hunt—bring this to life.

Conservation & Community Through DSC
The episode also highlights the mission of DSC and the DSC Foundation, including upcoming conservation-driven hunts and the role of partnerships—like TenPoint’s support—in expanding opportunities for hunters and conservation efforts alike.

Brian Flaherty shares his successful axis deer hunt at Choctaw Hunting Lodge—his first velvet buck—offering insight into preparation, opportunity, and the excitement that keeps hunters coming back to the field.

“Crossbows aren’t replacing other tools—they’re adding to the toolbox.”

This idea becomes a central theme: rifles, vertical bows, and crossbows all work together to grow the sport and keep hunters engaged across seasons and life stages.

This episode is a reflection on adaptation—how hunters evolve, how technology advances, and how traditions endure. Whether you're a lifelong rifle hunter or new to archery, the message is clear: the outdoors always has another level to offer.

EP 327 Jonnie Hudman & Golden Dorado

Wed, 18 Mar 2026 10:06:00 -0000

Podcast Summary

In this episode of DSC's Campfires, host Larry Weishuhn sits down with his long-time friend and fellow outdoorsman, Johnnie Hudman. The two swap stories about Johnnie's recent outdoor adventures in South America, focusing heavily on an action-packed fishing trip for massive Golden Dorado on the border of Uruguay and Argentina. They also discuss high-volume dove hunting in Argentina and look ahead to Johnnie's upcoming safari in South Africa.

The episode features host Larry Weishuhn interviewing his long-time friend Johnnie Hudman.
Johnnie recently traveled to the border of Uruguay and Argentina to fish for Golden Dorado.
The group fished below a large electric dam in very swift water.
Golden Dorado are described as beautiful, bright gold fish that resemble a 50-pound golden shiner minnow.
The fishing was so physically demanding that the anglers only fished for about two and a half hours at a time.
They used baitcasting reels and medium-weight rods with heavy eight-ounce sinkers, large hooks, and double steel leaders.
The group caught many fish in the 30 to 40-pound range, which far exceeded Johnnie's initial goal of catching a 20-pounder.
Golden Dorado are not considered good to eat, but the group did catch and eat large piranhas weighing up to four pounds.
The trip also included high-volume dove hunting in Argentina, where they stayed at a historic 1912 horse ranch.
One of the hunters in the group shot 1,000 doves in a single day.
Johnnie is currently preparing for an upcoming trip to South Africa to hunt dangerous game.
During his African safari, he plans to use mouth calls to try and call in predators like jackals, caracals, and potentially leopards.
Listeners interested in booking a similar South American trip are directed to look into River Plate Outfitters.

Over the years River Plate Outfitters has grown into one of the largest outfitting companies in South America, offering the most prestigious wingshooting and fishing programs in Brazil, Uruguay and Argentina.

EP 326 Habitat, Heritage, and the Love of Shotgunning

Wed, 11 Mar 2026 10:00:00 -0000

Waterfowl Then & Now with Steven Murski

In this engaging campfire conversation, Larry Weishuhn sits down with lifelong waterfowl hunter and guide Steven Murski to discuss the evolution of waterfowl hunting along the Texas Gulf Coast and beyond.

Steven shares how his passion began at just four or five years old hunting geese with his father near Eagle Lake — once known as the goose hunting capital of the world. He vividly recalls the massive migrations of the late 1990s and early 2000s, when skies would darken with birds — a stark contrast to today’s reduced numbers.

The discussion turns to the major factors impacting waterfowl populations, including:

Reduced water availability for rice agriculture
Rising costs of pumping and habitat management
Increased rice production in Arkansas short-stopping migration
Changing farming practices in the Midwest
Flooded corn controversies
Prairie Canada drought conditions
Nest loss affecting pintail populations

Steven emphasizes that the decline is not caused by a single issue but rather “death by a thousand cuts.”

Despite the challenges, the conversation remains hopeful. Both Larry and Steven stress the cyclical nature of waterfowl populations and the importance of conservation-minded land management. Steven highlights ongoing hunting opportunities in Texas and Kansas and explains how responsible hunters play a role in sustaining the resource.

The episode also covers:

Migration timing and the role of daylight vs. weather
Sea duck and swan hunting experiences
Sandhill crane hunting tactics and table quality
The importance of habitat stewardship
What hunters can realistically expect in the coming years

Steven closes by sharing details about Rifleman Outfitters, where he guides waterfowl and crane hunts in the El Campo, Texas region.

Waterfowl declines are driven by multiple environmental and agricultural factors.
Migration is triggered primarily by day length, with weather acting as a secondary push.
Habitat and water availability remain the biggest drivers of Gulf Coast bird numbers.
Conservation-minded landowners are critical to sustaining quality hunting.
Waterfowl populations are cyclical and expected to rebound over time.

Steven Murski is a Texas-based waterfowl guide and lifelong hunter who operates Rifleman Outfitters. He guides duck, goose, teal, and sandhill crane hunts in Texas and Kansas and is deeply involved in habitat-focused hunting practices.

EP 326 Two-Fanged Deer & Global Hunting Insights with Dr. Mike Arnold

Wed, 04 Mar 2026 11:16:00 -0000

🔥 DSC’s Campfires with Larry Weishuhn

Episode Summary: Two-Fanged Deer & Global Hunting Insights with Dr. Mike Arnold

In this fascinating and wide-ranging campfire conversation, Larry Weishuhn welcomes Dr. Mike Arnold, recipient of the DSC Foundation 2026 Educator of the Year Award, for an in-depth discussion on some of the world’s most unusual deer species.

The episode centers on Larry’s upcoming England hunt for two unique “fang deer” — the muntjac and the Chinese water deer — with Dr. Arnold sharing firsthand experience, biological insights, and hunting strategy from his own successful pursuit of both species.

Dr. Arnold explains that while commonly called “fangs,” these protrusions are actually elongated upper canine tusks, a primitive trait seen in early deer evolution. The conversation dives deep into the biology, behavior, and management challenges of these fascinating animals.

Slow, methodical still-hunting techniques in dense English cover
Use of thermal optics to locate animals in thick vegetation
Extremely high population densities in parts of England
Why muntjac are considered an invasive species in the UK
Their surprising omnivorous diet and habitat impact
Trophy characteristics and aging indicators

Spot-and-stalk hunting in open agricultural country
Unique vocalizations and defensive behavior
Rapid reproduction rates and population growth potential
Fighting behavior and the function of elongated tusks
Size, shot placement, and effective rifle choices

“Fang deer” tusks are actually primitive elongated canines, not true fangs.
Muntjac populations require active management due to habitat damage.
Migration-style still hunting is critical for success on muntjac.
Chinese water deer hunting more closely resembles Western spot-and-stalk.
Small-caliber, controlled-expansion bullets are ideal for these tiny species.
European game meat culture ensures harvested animals are fully utilized.
UK outfitters often provide high-quality suppressed rifles, reducing the need to travel with firearms.

Dr. Arnold explains that tusked deer are considered primitive cervids. Early deer species possessed prominent upper canines, which in most modern deer have either disappeared or been greatly reduced. In muntjac and Chinese water deer, these tusks remain an important feature used primarily for male-to-male combat during the breeding season.

Listeners planning UK hunts will gain valuable practical advice:

Expect slow, deliberate still hunting for muntjac
Be prepared for longer stalks in open country for Chinese water deer
Consider using outfitter-provided rifles with suppressors
Understand that these are small-bodied animals (roughly 12–20 pounds) requiring careful bullet selection
Enjoy world-class hospitality and non-hunting travel opportunities for spouses

Dr. Mike Arnold is a respected outdoorsman, writer, and geneticist whose work bridges hunting tradition and wildlife science. His recognition as the 2026 DSC Foundation Educator of the Year highlights his ongoing contributions to hunter education and conservation awareness.

EP 322 Coues Whitetail on the El Durangueno Around the Campfire

Wed, 04 Feb 2026 11:00:00 -0000

Larry has long loved hunting Coues whitetail, known as "The Grey Ghost of the Desert".

In this episode Larry talks about hunting the fabulous El Durangueno Ranch in Durango, Mexico's Sierra Madre Mountains. The late and great Jack O'Connor considered the diminutive Coues whitetail subspecies North America's Greatest Game Animal Larry certainly agrees. Larry discusses differences between Coues and "regular" whitetails, hunting techniques, and many more topics, including describing him taking a great buck during the last moments of his hunt. Great information, good stories, and even an invitation to go hunt Coues deer in the future with Larry.

In this solo episode, host Larry Weishuhn records from the high-elevation El Durangueno Ranch in Durango, Mexico. He recounts a successful hunt for Coues deer (often called the "Gray Ghost of the Desert") and reflects on the history of the ranch, the wildlife conservation efforts there, and his excitement for the upcoming DSC Convention.

Setting: Located in the Sierra Madres of Durango, Mexico, at an elevation between 8,500 and 9,000 feet.
History: Owned by Alonso Hayala and his family for 67 years. The property spans approximately 57,000 acres (plus adjoining leases).
Wildlife: The ranch is known for its biodiversity, including a massive population of Gould's turkeys, reintroduced Elk (which have flourished into a large herd), and the primary subject of this hunt: Coues deer.

Larry describes the Coues deer as a unique, small subspecies of whitetail known for their grey color, large ears, and ability to vanish into the landscape.

The Guide: Larry hunted with a local guide named "Zordo." Despite a language barrier, they communicated effectively through hand signals and shared hunting instincts.
The Encounter:
- Day 1: They spotted a massive buck late in the evening but lost the light and could not take a clean shot.
- Day 2: They returned to the same canyon. After a long hike and glassing session, they spotted the buck chasing a doe at roughly 400 yards.
The Shot: Larry set up for a shot across a canyon. At 300 yards, he took the shot when the buck paused behind some brush.
The Result: The buck ran a short distance and fell. Upon recovery, Larry realized it was a "monster" Coues deer with a wide spread and long main beams, though it had unfortunately broken off its left main beam. Larry estimates it would have scored in the 120s (a trophy class for this species).

Larry detailed the specific equipment he used for this successful hunt:

Rifle: Mossberg Patriot with a 20-inch barrel.
Caliber: 7mm PRC.
Ammo: Hornady Precision Hunter, 175-grain ELD-X bullet.
Optics: Stealth Vision binoculars and a 3-18x44 scope.

Patreon: Larry promoted his Patreon page ("MRWHITETAIL"), where he offers exclusive video content, tips on wildlife management, and giveaways.
DSC Convention: He expressed excitement for the upcoming convention in Atlanta, where he looks forward to reconnecting with friends and listeners.

"I'm 78 years old this year... and I'm still going at it strong." — Larry Weishuhn

"It is the most accurate, deadly bullet I have ever put through a rifle." — Larry Weishuhn (referencing the Hornady ELD-X)

EP 321 Interview with Alonzo Ayala at El Durangueño Ranch

Wed, 28 Jan 2026 11:00:00 -0000

Guest: Alonzo Ayala, co-owner of El Durangueño Ranch in Durango, Mexico.

Episode Overview: Larry Weishuhn broadcasts from the impressive El Durangueño Ranch, nestled in the Sierra Madre mountains of Durango, Mexico. Sitting fireside with co-owner Alonzo Ayala, Larry explores the history, conservation efforts, and hunting opportunities of this vast, 57,000-acre property. Originally established in the mid-1960s by Alonzo's father and partner Jack Brittingham (who purchased it from American settlers originating from Colorado), the ranch has evolved from a cattle operation into a premier destination for wildlife conservation and fair-chase hunting.

The conversation highlights the ranch's unique high-altitude habitat (8,500+ feet), home to thick pine forests and diverse wildlife. Alonzo details the ranch's renowned Gould’s Turkey population—frequently producing record-breaking birds—and its thriving Coues deer herd, which Larry describes as exceptionally healthy with abundant young bucks and fawns. The pair discuss the ranch's strict native-species-only policy, which led to the reintroduction of Elk to their historic range in Durango after a 100-150 year absence.

Beyond hunting, Alonzo shares the ranch's commitment to community and education. Through their summer camp program, they host urban youth and underserved local children, teaching them ranching skills, astronomy, and environmental stewardship, guided by the charismatic "Chief Kalako."

Key Topics Discussed:

History of El Durangueño: How a partnership between Alonzo's father and Jack Brittingham transformed a cattle ranch into a conservation haven.
Gould’s Turkey: The ranch's reputation for world-class turkey hunting, including holding top records in the National Wild Turkey Federation.
Coues Deer: The high density and excellent health of the local "Grey Ghost" deer population, attributed to careful habitat management and water distribution (36 dams and multiple troughs).
Elk Reintroduction: The successful effort to bring Elk back to the Sierra Madres using top-tier genetics from the U.S., now resulting in a self-sustaining herd of over 400 animals.
Conservation Philosophy: A dedication to native species (no exotics), low-fence hunting, and long-range shooting ethics.
Community Outreach: The ranch's educational summer camps that reconnect city kids and support local underprivileged youth with nature and ranch life.
Birdwatching: The ranch's incredible biodiversity, including species like the Mexican Jay, making it a prime spot for birders.

EP 318 Craig Archer and Cyle Foley at Hunting Camp

Wed, 07 Jan 2026 11:00:00 -0000

This episode of DSC’s Campfire features host Larry Weishuhn joined by returning guest Craig Archer and wildlife biologist Cyle Foley. Recorded in a hunting camp in the Rolling Plains of Texas, the trio dives deep into the science and strategy behind successful wildlife management.

The Role of a Biologist:
- Cyle Foley explains his role as a consulting wildlife biologist. He emphasizes that effective management starts with knowing what you have. He conducts helicopter surveys to count populations, determining buck-to-doe ratios and fawn crops to set accurate harvest quotas.
- The group discusses the importance of the "management team"—the landowner, the land manager (Craig), and the biologist (Cyle) working in unison to achieve property goals.
Deer Management Philosophy:
- "Age is King": Cyle stresses that age is the most critical factor in producing big deer. A buck needs to reach maturity (5-6 years old) to express his full potential.
- Nutrition is Queen: Once age is established, nutrition is the next limiting factor. If a deer has age and food, the antlers will follow.
- Genetics is the Joker: They agree that in a low-fence, free-range environment, you cannot effectively manage genetics. Culling "inferior" bucks generally doesn't work because you can't control the doe's genetic contribution.
The Quail Equation:
- The Rolling Plains is famous for quail, but populations are volatile ("boom or bust").
- Cyle explains that while rain is essential, timing is everything. Rain is needed to grow forbs (weeds), which attract insects. Quail chicks require a diet of almost 100% insects for the first few weeks of life to survive. Without "bugging grounds," the chicks starve even if the habitat looks green.
Habitat Restoration:
- They discuss the use of prescribed fire and mechanical clearing (grubbing) to restore grasslands. The goal is to create a mosaic of cover and open space that benefits both deer and quail.
Cyle’s Background:
- A graduate of Texas Tech University, Cyle started his own consulting business to help landowners across Texas. He values the relationship with practical managers like Craig who can implement the scientific recommendations effectively on the ground.

"You can't manage what you don't know you have." — Cyle Foley (on the necessity of accurate wildlife surveys)

EP 317 Craig Archer Talks Wildlife Management

Wed, 31 Dec 2025 12:00:00 -0000

In this episode of DSC’s Campfire, host Larry Weishuhn sits down with Craig Archer to explore the nuances of woodmanship, wildlife management, and the "lost art" of tracking animals after a shot.

Reading the Signs: Archer emphasizes that modern hunters often focus on the shot but neglect the critical signs that follow. He stresses observing how an animal reacts—whether it "kicked up its back end," "humped up in the middle," or "stumbled"—to determine the shot's placement.
The Tracking Process: Archer advises hunters to stay in their blinds after a shot to observe and wait rather than rushing to look for the animal. This patience prevents hunters from inadvertently destroying a blood trail by stepping on it.
Environmental Factors: The duo discusses how local terrain, such as the "sandy shinnery" country of Texas, affects tracking. In sandy soil, blood may form "balls" that aren't immediately recognizable, and heavy fat content in well-fed deer can quickly plug exit wounds, minimizing external bleeding.
Property Management: Archer shares his management philosophy for his low-fence operation, which includes:
- Natural Diet: Avoiding protein supplements in favor of a natural habitat supported by rotational cattle grazing.
- Water Distribution: Strategically placing water troughs to spread livestock and wildlife across the property, preventing overgrazing near a single source.
- Collaboration: Working closely with biologists to manage population density and "buck-to-doe ratios".
Hunting Ethics: They underscore the importance of sighting in rifles before a hunt, noting that even high-quality optics can be knocked out of alignment during travel. Ensuring an accurate shot is a fundamental responsibility to the animal.

Craig Archer is a professional outfitter and land manager with over 17 years of experience in the Lubbock, Texas area. His operation maintains a near 100% success rate for mature animals by strictly managing hunting pressure and maintaining "sanctuaries" near water sources where rifle hunting is prohibited.

EP 316 Merry Christmas from Mr. Whitetail

Wed, 24 Dec 2025 12:00:00 -0000

Episode Summary: "Christmas Week Celebration"

In this holiday episode, Larry Weishuhn reflects on the importance of family, tradition, and the outdoors during the Christmas season. He shares personal anecdotes from his life in Texas, bridging the gap between historical wilderness and modern conservation.

Family Traditions: Larry discusses his plans to gather with his daughters and five grandchildren, emphasizing that the outdoors—specifically deer hunting and fishing—always plays a central role in their celebrations.
The Family Property: He speaks affectionately about a family property held for over 150 years, home to massive oak trees that he estimates are 400 to 500 years old.
Historical Reflections: Larry imagines the history witnessed by those ancient trees, from local Indian tribes gathering acorns and flint for tools to the arrival of Spanish and European settlers.
Wildlife Conservation: He contrasts the current abundance of white-tailed deer with his childhood in "Zimmerscheidt," where seeing a single deer track was a major event. He credits hunters and outdoorsmen as the true "stewards of wildlife" and habitat.

EP 315 David Cotton Talks Hunting

Wed, 17 Dec 2025 12:00:00 -0000

🦌 DSC's Campfires with Larry Weishuhn: Show Summary 🐻

This episode of DSC's Campfires features host Larry Weishuhn and guest David Cotton, covering a range of topics from charity events to thrilling hunting adventures with a special emphasis on family experiences.

David Cotton begins by discussing his participation in a Toys for Tots golf tournament at Pinnacle Club on Cedar Creek Lake. This is his fourth year playing in the event, which raises funds to buy toys for children whose families are struggling. While the local tournament is smaller, it's expected to draw 144 golfers and could collect 200 to 300 toys after donations.

The conversation moves to a memorable bear hunt David and his 85-year-old father, Dave, experienced at the Choctaw Hunting Lodge in Oklahoma. The father and son were placed in the same blind by their guide, Dusty, with the goal of both killing a bear.

David's Father's Bear: Despite early issues with crosshairs in low light, David's father later killed a large bear. The bear was hit with a perfect shot, traveled about 65 yards, and David noted the distinct "death moan". The bear weighed 347 pounds.
David's Bear: Within just 15 minutes of the first kill, another bear appeared. David made a good shot on the second bear, which weighed around 150 to 160 pounds.
The Gear: David mentions their use of Stealth Vision optics, noting the excitement of capturing the hunt on video.

David then recounts a recent second rifle season elk hunt in the Pagosa Springs/Chama area of Colorado.

Initial Challenge: Earlier reports from a friend indicated very few elk were being seen.
A Successful Hunt: David convinced his father to hunt a specific area, setting him up with a chair at the base of a stand.
The Shot: His father used a Stealth Vision scope with a customized turret that uses yardages instead of mill dots. He ranged an elk at 346 yards, turned the turret to 350 yards, and hit the elk, dropping it. The bull elk was a 5x4. In a follow-up shot, his father hit the elk in the head when it tried to get up, confirming the kill.

The discussion shifts to the current whitetail deer season in Texas, which both Larry and David describe as "different" and "difficult".

Unpredictable Rut: The rut has been highly unpredictable, with bucks either being absent or showing up unexpectedly.
Weather and Food: Despite ideal cool, cloudy, and overcast weather for hunting, deer activity was low. David notes that a large number of acorns means deer have ample food and do not need to move much.
Extended Season: David expresses optimism about the extended season through the end of February due to the Managed Lands Deer (MLD) program, hoping to see more mature bucks become active later on.

Larry reminds listeners about the upcoming DSC Convention in Atlanta, Georgia, scheduled for February 6th, 7th, and 8th.

EP 314 The Tale of Two Bucks

Wed, 10 Dec 2025 12:00:00 -0000

🦌 Podcast Summary: Tale of Two Bucks

This episode of DSC's Campfires features host Larry Weishuhn sharing two personal hunting stories from the current season. The episode also includes mentions of the DSC Convention in February and various sponsors.

🦌 Hunt One: The Absolute Monster Buck

Larry details his first hunt on the Choctaw Hunting Lodge in southeastern Oklahoma, a property of 44,000 contiguous acres. This hunt followed a personal health scare—pericarditis—that required surgery and recovery, making the trip even more meaningful.

Location: Choctaw Hunting Lodge, which includes a high-fenced area of over 1,000 acres for managed deer.

The Setup: Larry was invited as a guest of Avient, a world-renowned polymer producer, to assist with introducing them to various manufacturers. He was using a rifle with an Avient barrel and a Stealth Vision scope. The rifle was a 7mm PRC with Hornady 175-grain ELD-X Precision Hunter bullets, which he notes is "unbelievably accurate".

The Hunt: After his friend, Jim McQuerry, successfully harvested an impressive 10-point buck, Larry returned to the field. Larry hunted with Jim and Dusty and Jessica Vickery, who run the lodge. They spotted a massive deer in thickets. Larry ended up taking the deer with a shot at 50-60 yards using a borrowed .22 Creedmoor rifle with 80-grain Hornady ELD-X bullets.

The Trophy: The buck was an "absolute monster". Its antlers scored 357 (gross) on the Boone and Crockett system. Larry reports that the antlers were wider than he could imagine, with an outside spread of 37.5 inches, and featured eight drop tines. Larry shares that while some may criticize hunting a high-fenced property, the circumstances of his health and the sheer experience of taking such an animal make it a cherished memory.

🦌 Hunt Two: The Red River Buck

The second story takes place in Montague County, Texas, on a lease near the Oklahoma border. Larry's goal was to rattle a white-tail buck out of Oklahoma, across the Red River, and into Texas.

Location: A lease in Montague County, Texas, along the Red River.

The Setup: Larry spent time prior to the hunt putting out Vineyard Max attractant in the area and set up near a trail coming out of the river. He hunted mid-day, which he firmly believes is an excellent time to hunt, especially when the moon is new or full.

The Hunt: After an unsuccessful morning, Larry returned to his spot at noon. He started rattling antlers and after his first sequence, a mature buck came towards him from the river, showing signs of having just crossed the water. When the buck turned to walk away, Larry grunted at it, which caused the deer to turn back. He was able to get a shot off through a small window in the brush with his 7mm PRC rifle.

The Trophy: The buck was a mature, six-year-old basic 9-point with a couple of kickers, scoring about 145. It was a special hunt because he achieved his goal of rattling a buck out of a different state and taking it on his home turf.

🗓️ DSC Convention Announcement

Larry reminds listeners that the DSC Convention is scheduled for February 6-8 at the World Congress Center in Atlanta, Georgia.

EP 304 Dr. Mike Arnold - Bear Hunting & Stealth Vision Optics

Wed, 01 Oct 2025 10:30:00 -0000

DSC’s Campfires with Larry WeishuhnColor-Phase Bears, Big Black Bruisers & a Day at Stealth Vision (with Dr. Mike Arnold)Episode Summary

Pull up a chair—Larry welcomes friend and wildlife biologist Dr. Mike Arnold back to the fire to swap spring bear stories from British Columbia and Alberta, break down color-phase genetics, and nerd out on long-range Stealth Vision optics at company HQ in Crockett, Texas. From barge rides over 600-foot glacial lakes and logging-road stalks to a rain-soaked recovery on a 400-pound boar, this one’s packed with fieldcraft, gear talk, and camp-style laughs.

00:00 – Welcome & Sponsors
Larry sets the table and welcomes Dr. Mike back to the mic.
01:28 – Mike’s British Columbia Spot-and-Stalk
• Camp access by barge across a deep, glacial lake; days spent glassing logging roads
• Goal: a color-phase bear (“cinnamon/chocolate”)—and finding one!
• Tracking with wind in the face, slipping off the road into a small burn, and re-locating the bear at ~60 yards
• Shot with a .338 Federal (MG Arms ultralight) on quad sticks; double-lung hit, short dash, quick finish
• Daily bear sightings (including a grizzly boar and sow), plus moose, mule deer—and elk moving back into the area
13:00 – Larry’s Alberta Hunt (Bait, Ground Level, Big Boar)
• A cagey black bear that “checks the blind” finally slips up—Larry hunts from the ground instead
• Raining hard, light is terrible; Stealth Vision SVT 3-18×44 with lit reticle makes the difference
• Mossberg .308 on loan from Brad Fenson, Hornady Precision Hunter ammo; quartering shot, short 35-step recovery
• Estimated ~400-lb spring boar with a “weightlifter’s neck”
18:30 – Why So Many Color-Phase Bears?
• Dr. Mike’s genetics take: small historical populations can “fix” color variants in a region
• Western/interior populations show more blondes, cinnamons, and chocolates; coastal/eastern tend to be black
• Forestry practices and green-up patterns boost bear numbers; grizzlies abundant but not generally huntable there (outside First Nation harvest)
22:30 – Range Day at Stealth Vision HQ (Crockett, TX)
• Inside look at Stealth Vision’s “top-tier or nothing” approach with Dr. John McCall and Joe Cunningham
• The integrated cant indicator (“green bubble”)—no more flipping to a separate level at long range

Jim Zumbo, outdoor hunter/fisherman/ outdoor writer/forester/biologist/book author/tv show host/speaker was long hunting editor for Outdoor Life magazine and writer for many other outdoor publications.

For many years Jim has been one of my personal heroes, mentors but more importantly a best friend. I recorded this interview recorded in Oklahoma, on the property previously owned by Miranda Lambert, entertainer extraordinaire.

Our goal was to catch several “messes” of bluegills to send back to Wyoming with Zumbo, eat good, tell a few hunting yarns, and simply enjoy each other’s company while kicking back and relaxing. Visiting with Rick I learned a bit about his turkey hunting adventures and a few other things I know our listeners will enjoy hearing about

EP:190 Visiting with Ms. Kay and Jerry Miculek

Wed, 19 Jul 2023 05:00:00 -0000

According to Wikapedia, Jerry Miculek is referred to as "The Greatest Shooter of All Times". Rightfully so, he holds numerous world speed shooting records but also hit a small target at 1,000 yards shooting a 9mm handgun, off-hand. His doing so impresses me more than his world speed shooting records. Kay's father was Jimmy Clark, one of the world's best pistolsmiths and shooters. He taught his daughter early on how to shoot handguns and shoot them ultra accurately. She has collected many Gold and Silver Medals shooting in World IPSC competitions as well as in other handgun competitions. Jerry and Kay Miculek combined are without a doubt two of the world's best and most known and recognized shooters. In this episode we talk about a lot of things, but mostly not about shooting competitions and more about hunting, wildlife and growing up in the country!

EP:185 Raging Hunter Takes Cape Buffalo

Wed, 07 Jun 2023 20:14:28 -0000

The African Cape Buffalo is often referred to as "Black Death", a reputation rightfully earned. Rober Ruark described his kind,"He looks at you like you owe him money!" To that quote I would, having hunted Cape buffalo several times, add, "And he's come to collect it!" His size, tenacity and attitude truly make him a formidable adversary even when you are hunting with a cigar-sized rifle round. Taurus' Bret Vorhees ventured into the African jess in search of buffalo, not with a double or bolt action rifle, but with hisTaurus Raging Hunter .460 S&W Magnum revolver. In this episode Larry visits with Bret about his most exciting hunt, Africa at its finest!"

168 DSC Campfires with Larry Weishuhn When a Hunting Trip Becomes a Camping Trip

Fri, 18 Nov 2022 16:48:59 -0000

Recently ace cameraman and fabulous artist Jeremiah Bennett and I spent several days in Baja California, Mexico pursuing ghosts. Or so it seems. We were in Baja to film me hunting Baja blacktail deer, a subspecies of the Columbian blacktail found from Washington to the lower regions of California for an episode of "Trijicon's World of Sports Afield" which airs on Sportsman's Channel, but also for a segment for "A Sportsman's Life" our weekly digital tv show that airs on CarbonTV.com. We were told by our outfitter the blacktail subspecies were not overly plentiful, but he saw no reason to shoot a buck unless it was at least representative of the species..which to me meant we should see a couple of bucks during out 5-day hunt. I was also told upon my arrival to San Diego, CA, my rifle permit had not been procured, and I could wait for it be signed, which might take days, or use a borrowed rifle. Upon reaching camp we drove through some of the spectacular high desert terrain and vegetation that likely exists on Earth. Our camp was a comfortable cabin. The rifle handed me was an ancient bolt action, topped with a scope I did not recognize, and a hand full of full metal jacket bullet cartridges. The no rifle permit..should have keyed me to what to expect on the trip. In this episode Larry and cameraman, Jeremiah Bennett discuss their hunt, the ups and downs that turned a hunting trip in a long, no-deer, camping trip

167 DSC Campfires with Larry Weishuhn Teaching an Old Hunter New Tricks

Thu, 10 Nov 2022 17:47:46 -0000

When I first started hunting whitetails trail cameras, computer programs were hardly even anyone's dream, much less a reality. Maps of your hunting country were usually hand-drawn after walking property, who owned the land next door were learned by knocking on their doors, when deer moved was determined from year's of hunting experience, finding your way around in unfamiliar territory was most often accomplished by using a compass. Serious hunters had much to learn and considerable to remember. With the advent of computers and computer programs and apps, trail cameras and the like, much of what it took hunters years to learn and "store in between their ears", and a whole lot more is now available at their fingertips. This thanks to HuntStand and Brian Murphy. Most of you will remember Brian from his many faithful and excellent years at Quality Deer Management Association (QDMA), but now with HuntStand. Brian with the help of some "computer experts" has come up with fabulous programs that will make you a much better and successful deer hunter regardless of whether your and "old ranger" like me, or someone who in the past few days decided he or she wanted to put quality meals on they and their families dinner table. In this episode Brian brings me and our listeners to a new level of hunting whitetail deer, and learning more from using the new HuntStand app than I did in nearly a lifetime of pursuing America's deer! And to make things even better HuntStand is partnering with DSC, the world's premier wildlife conservation organization.

164 DSC Campfires with Larry Weishuhn Hunting with Brandon Houston

Fri, 14 Oct 2022 17:23:10 -0000

"Hunting brings people together, unlike any other outdoor activity. I became friends with Brandon Houston on a deer hunt he invited me to, on one of the properties he manages for wildlife with emphasis on whitetail deer, but also non-game species. Brandon, like me, is a professional wildlife biologist. Soon after becoming friends he asked me to become involved in his H3 Whitetail Solutions wildlife management consulting company, which not only works with whitetail deer but all wildlife and their habitat. Hunting for whitetails with Brandon on my hunting lease in western Texas this time was for does with my Taurus Raging Hunter .454 Casull revolver, topped with a Trijicon SRO red-dot sight, and shooting Hornady's 300-grain XTP Custom ammo. During the hunt Brandon and I were also able to do a fair bit of exploring, as well camp cooking and sitting on water holes or near to them. We were able to each take a whitetail doe. The conversation on this episode starts out with Brandon and Larry having found an old stone building which originally served as a U. S. Calvary outpost when the lands west of San Angelo, Texas were still populated with marauding bandits, and the occasional attacks on settlers by the native American who resented western expansion."
