Luke’s guest this week is again, Larry Weishuhn, who has long served as the Ambassador for Dallas Safari Club. This week Luke visits with Larry about the up-coming DSC East Texas Chapter’s “Whitetail Deer Showcase” to be held June 7th and 8th (Saturday and Sunday) at the Nacogdoches County Expo Center in Nacogdoches. On display will be some of the best whitetail deer taken in North East Texas, plus many vendors with hunting and outdoor, equipment and adventures. Open to the public, you do not have to be a member!

Friday night there will be a banquet complete with a great meal, games and an auction to raise funds for wildlife conservation with emphasis on Northeast Texas. Texas Wildlife Association staff will be on hand to teach attendees to score deer throughout the event. Saturday’s seminars will include Dr. James Kroll, Texas Wildlife Staff, Larry Weishuhn and Paul Moore.

  • Luke's guest this week is MIke Ford, well known quarterback for SMU back in the eighties. Mike and his wife Lori own a ranch in northern Red River County that was one of the premier areas for the eastern wild turkey/ . Up until a decade or so ago, the birds were flourishing here and in several counties along the Red River. Mike talks about damage wild hogs have done to not only nesting turkeys but quail as well. There used to be a healthy population of timber rattlers in the area and in the summer in May when the snakes are mating, it was common to see them along roadsides. Mike says he has not encountered a rattler in the area for several years. Wild hogs are certainly changing the east Texas ecosystem.
