In this solo episode, Larry Weishuhn pivots after a technical computer glitch eats his originally recorded episode, an interview with Catfish Radio host and longtime friend, Luke Clayton. Recording just five hours before heading to the airport, Larry shares his itinerary for an epic three-nation European roe deer hunt. He also previews an exciting lineup of upcoming guests and highlights major summer conservation events that listeners will not want to miss. Larry is embarking on a European hunt alongside Mark and Carol Little, who purchased the trip at the 2025 DSC Foundation Gala, and guides Stephan and Sophia Bengston of Scandinavian Pro Hunters. Travel & Gear: To avoid the hassle of flying with firearms across three countries, Larry is borrowing rifles (preferring a .275 Rigby or 7x57 Mauser) and has ensured a supply of Hornady ammunition will be available in each location. Roe Deer Habits: The bucks shed their velvet in late April or early May, and their rut occurs later in the summer (June through August). Calling Tactics: Hunters often use a "butylo call," which emits a strange whistling sound that attracts roebucks. Taxidermy: Due to limited wall space, Larry plans to do classic European skull mounts on nice wood plaques for the roe deer taken on this trip. Upcoming Media: Larry will record segments from each European nation for his digital TV show, A Sportsman's Life, while Luke Clayton and Jeff Rice hold down the fort with striped bass and blue catfish fishing segments back home. Upcoming Guests: Future podcast episodes will feature Luke Clayton, geneticist and author Dr. Mike Arnold, Michael Waddell, and a special June trip recording with the "Three Amigos" (Larry, Jim Zumbo, and Rick Lambert) alongside Mike Snyder. Upcoming Summer Conventions Larry strongly encourages listeners to get involved in wildlife conservation by attending these major summer events: Texas Wildlife Association (TWA) Convention: Celebrating its 41st year, this convention takes place July 9th–12th. Larry helped start this organization back in 1985. DSC Summer Show Expo: Taking place at the Gaylord Texan Resort in Grapevine, TX. This four-day expo features over 400 booths with activities for all ages. DSC Foundation Gala: Held the night of July 25th at the Gaylord Texan. The gala features massive fundraising auctions (which can be bid on via OnlineHuntingAuctions.com) and will present the Legacy Award to Steve Hornady. Larry's Three-Nation Roe Deer Sweden The starting point of the trip. Larry has successfully hunted roe deer, red stag, fallow deer, and waterfowl here in the past. Poland This will be a brand-new hunting destination for Larry. The group will spend two to three days here hoping to take a roe deer, and possibly a second if the right mature buck presents itself. Scotland The hunt concludes around Inverness. Larry is specifically looking for a mature roe buck after only spotting immature bucks and does in the lowlands on a previous trip.

Karle, MLIS. Published in January 2015, the book delves into the neurological underpinnings of anxiety, focusing on the roles of the amygdala and cortex in the brain.
