Outdoors With Luke Clayton

This week Luke visits with Jeff Rice and discusses the use of drones for scouting hunting leases. Luke and Jeff recently used a hunting app (HuntStand) in conjunction with Jeff's drone and learned a great deal about a new piece of land they will be hunting, and in a very short time. Click and learn how you can use this technology to learn the land you hunt on. For more information, contact Jeff Rice by email at jeff@buckandbassranch.com

Luke's guest this week is Hunter Barrett with Fortified Cottonseed (www.fortifiedcottonseed.com). Hunter and Luke discuss feeding cottonseed as a supplement to deer. There are very many reasons that make perfect sense why one should take a close look at cottonseed. To hear Luke's hour long show, visit www.catfishradio.org

Luke visits this week with veteran catfish guide David Hanson (903-268-7391). Hanson has devised a sure-fire method of putting limits of channel catfish in the boat and escaping the summer heat. He has baited holes under a bridge and begins trips during early morning. Catching is fast and furious as you will learn. Luke fished earlier this week at Lake Fork with David and will cover the trip this week in the 51 Texas newspapers that carry his column, including the Greenville Herald Banner. Click and listen to these old friends give some tips that will help you put plenty of good eating catfish in the boat.

Luke and his good friend Larry Weishuhn, aka "Mr.Whitetail", give listeners a great close-to-home destination this week up in Southeast Oklahoma, "The Choctaw Hunting Lodge". The Choctaw Nation owns 45,000 acres of the beautiful mountains and valley country that is less than a couple hours drive from Northeast Texas. Luke and Larry have enjoyed many hunts and fishing trips here through the years and the destination comes highly recommended. For more information, visit www.choctawhuntinglodge.com.

Luke's guest this week is Lake Tawakoni guide Tony Pennebaker (903-474-3078). Luke and Tony discuss a trip earlier in the week for blue catfish that produced some jumbo size fish up to forty pounds.
