Few wildlife threats are as horrifying—or as potentially devastating—as the New World screwworm. Today on Dark Outdoors, we're taking a deep dive into a parasite that eats living flesh—and it's no longer a problem confined to the history books. The New World screwworm is in Texas, it is spreading, and wildlife professionals, ranchers, hunters, and animal health experts are sounding the alarm. Joining me is legendary wildlife biologist Larry Wyzun, known throughout the hunting and conservation world as "Mr. Whitetail." Larry is one of America's most respected deer experts and one of the foremost authorities on whitetail deer biology in the world. What makes Larry's perspective especially important is that he witnessed the original screwworm crisis firsthand. Early in his career, he saw the devastating effects this flesh-eating parasite had on wildlife and livestock before America achieved one of the greatest animal health victories in history by eradicating it from the United States. Now, decades later, screwworm has returned as a growing threat. As it spreads, concerns are mounting about the impact on whitetail deer, endangered species, livestock, pets, and rural communities. The consequences could reach far beyond individual animals, affecting wildlife management, conservation efforts, agriculture, and hunting traditions across America. Many experts view the New World screwworm as the most significant wildlife health threat our nation has faced in the last half-century. Unlike many diseases that weaken animals over time, screwworm larvae consume living tissue, creating horrific wounds that can ultimately lead to death if left untreated. In this episode, "Mr. Whitetail" Larry Weishuhn, a globally renown wildlife biologist shares firsthand memories from the battle against screwworm decades ago, explains why this parasite is so dangerous, and offers his expert insight into what its spread means for the future of America's wildlife. This is Dark Outdoors. I'm Chester Moore, and today we're examining what may be the greatest threat to American wildlife in 50 years—the return of the New World screwworm.
In today's episode, I sit down with Mr. Whitetail himself, Larry Weishuhn. Larry Weishuhn, known across the outdoor world as "Mr. Whitetail," is a professional wildlife biologist, award-winning outdoor writer, author, and television personality who has spent more than six decades in the field. A native Texan and Texas A&M-trained wildlife scientist, he got his start working on Texas's pioneering wildlife disease research and later served as a technical assistance biologist helping landowners build quality deer programs across South Texas. Over his career, Larry has established wildlife management programs on more than 15 million acres and helped develop many of the deer and habitat management practices hunters rely on today. He has written thousands of articles and several award-winning books, appeared in hundreds of television episodes, and currently co-hosts "A Sportsman's Life" and the podcast "DSC's Campfires with Larry Weishuhn." A Dallas Safari Club ambassador and member of multiple conservation hall of fames, Larry remains one of the most recognized and respected voices in whitetail hunting and management.

Beau Martonik sits down with Bill Vanderheyden of Iron Will Outfitters — 10 years of engineering broadheads and arrow systems built around what a setup actually needs to do when conditions are not perfect. They open with Bill's Colorado elk hunt — 10 miles back in the wilderness, a 4-hour chase into dark timber, and a frontal shot at 30 yards through a 3-inch window in the pines. From there the conversation gets into the science behind why that shot worked and what most hunters are getting wrong before they ever get to a moment like that. Topics include what actually makes a bow setup forgiving in hunting conditions, why FOC doesn't tell you what most people think, the physics of penetration and the speed vs. heavy arrow debate, why mechanicals on elk are a bigger risk than most realize, steep shot angles, effective range, and how to practice the shots that actually show up in the field. 00:00:00 – Intro 00:04:37 – Colorado Elk Hunt — 10 Miles Back, Frontal Shot Through the Pines 00:21:41 – Pin Setup and Shot Confidence in the Field 00:24:24 – Bighorn Sheep Hunt — Steep Cliffs, No Rangefinder, 55 Yards 00:34:10 – What Actually Makes a Hunting Setup Forgiving 00:44:42 – Penetration Physics — Momentum, Arrow Flight, and Blade Geometry 00:57:13 – Why Mechanicals on Elk Are a Risk Most Hunters Underestimate 01:02:29 – FOC — What the Number Actually Tells You and What It Doesn't 01:10:15 – Whitetail vs. Western Setup — How Much Actually Needs to Change 01:14:20 – Moving Deer and Shot Timing 01:25:05 – Steep Shot Angles — Tree Stand and Mountain Scenarios 01:32:55 – Holding Under Pressure and Practicing Real Scenarios 01:41:21 – Effective Range — How to Actually Define It for Your Setup 01:47:42 – The Iron Will Wide Broadhead on Elk 01:51:36 – Axis Deer Hunt in Hawaii — Setup Considerations 01:54:58 – Closing + Where to Find Iron Will Instagram: @eastmeetswesthunt @beau.martonik Facebook: East Meets West Outdoors Shop Hunting Gear and Apparel: https://www.eastmeetswesthunt.com/ YouTube: Beau Martonik - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQJon93sYfu9HUMKpCMps3w Partner Discounts and Affiliate Links: https://www.eastmeetswesthunt.com/partners Poncho Outdoors - Poncho Outdoors makes tough, sharp-looking, no-BS apparel for hardworking outdoorsmen who put in the time year-round.

Michigan's deer hunting landscape is changing in a big way, and this episode breaks it all down. We're joined by Michigan residents Brandon Ostrowski and Todd Sellon to discuss Michigan's new “One-Buck Rule,” the controversy surrounding it, and what it could mean for hunters across the state. We also dive into the recent changes to Michigan's rifle line law, how those updates may impact safety, hunter opportunity, and deer management moving forward. From tradition and conservation to hunter recruitment and public opinion, this conversation covers both sides of the debate and the real-world pros and cons these decisions could have in the woods during coming seasons.

In this episode, we sit down with Oklahoma hunter Owen Bellis to hear the unbelievable story behind one of the most unique whitetails he's ever laid eyes on — a 140-inch dwarf buck that barely stood knee-high. Dwarf whitetails are already considered extremely uncommon, with estimates suggesting they make up less than 1% of the whitetail population due to a rare recessive genetic trait. Owen had no idea the buck was a dwarf when he first got him on camera, and when he finally walked up on the deer after the shot, the reality of what he'd taken left him completely stunned. We break down the entire hunt, the emotions behind it, and why this deer is the kind of trophy most hunters will never encounter in a lifetime.

In this episode, we break down the real situation behind Michigan's deer policies. The buck to doe ratio problem. The drop in harvest numbers. The science being used to justify new rules. And the growing frustration from hunters who feel like things just aren't adding up. Should Michigan move to a one buck rule for deer hunting? We break down one of the biggest debates in Michigan deer management right now. The conversation covers the Lower Peninsula specifically and digs into the real issues hunters keep bringing up, including buck to doe ratio concerns, antler point restrictions, the bait ban, harvest numbers, hunter satisfaction, disease concerns, and whether Michigan is actually creating better deer management or just adding more restrictions. We talk through the major sides of the argument. Some hunters believe a one buck rule would help create more selective harvest and improve the age structure of bucks. Others believe an earn a buck system would make more sense by requiring doe harvest before buck harvest, which could more directly address the imbalance between bucks and does. We also get into the argument over APRs, how they work in Michigan now, and whether they truly help improve buck quality or simply protect deer with poor antler traits that should not stay in the breeding pool. We also dives into the controversy around the Lower Peninsula bait ban and the belief that reduced harvest numbers may actually be making Michigan's deer issues worse instead of better. Kyle explains why he believes any serious deer management plan has to stay consistent with the science being used to justify it. If the concern is disease spread and overpopulation, then the state has to look honestly at whether current rules are helping hunters remove enough deer from the landscape. Along the way, we talk about hunting ethics, managing wounded or genetically poor deer in the field, how different Michigan regions should be treated differently, why hunter input matters, and why accurate deer reporting is critical if the DNR and hunters are ever going to get on the same page. This is a real conversation about conservation, deer management, hunting culture, regulations, and what the future of Michigan deer season should actually look like. If you care about Michigan deer hunting, whitetail management, the DNR, APRs, the bait ban, doe harvest, trophy buck potential, wildlife policy, or the future of hunting in the Midwest, this is a conversation worth hearing.

Jody K. Jeane of Leesville was arrested after submitting a 12-pound largemouth bass to a local “lunker” program, which rewards anglers who catch fish over 10 pounds with a free replica mount. To qualify, participants must truthfully report where the fish was caught and release it back into the same body of water. Jeane claimed he caught the fish at Toledo Bend Reservoir. But wildlife agents had already seen him earlier that day at a different location—Vernon Lake—where he proudly showed off the same fish. Distinct markings on the bass, along with social media photos, helped confirm the fish's true origin. Authorities say Jeane later admitted to falsifying the information. He now faces charges of attempted theft and forgery, which could carry a penalty of up to 10 years in prison. Officials say the program is designed to promote conservation and highlight trophy fishing opportunities, not to be exploited. The incident has stirred local attention, especially after a second person reportedly tried to submit the same fish weeks later. Wildlife authorities emphasize that honesty is essential to keeping such programs fair and effective. Reference: https://www.outdoorlife.com/fishing/bass-angler-jailed-lunker-fraud/ Idaho Tightens Rules on Lifetime Hunting Licenses Idaho has passed a new law making it much harder to qualify for a lifetime hunting or fishing license, after complaints that out-of-state hunters were exploiting the system. Previously, applicants only needed to live in Idaho for six months to qualify. Under the new law, that requirement increases to five years of consecutive residency. The change takes effect July 1. Lawmakers say the update targets people who briefly moved to Idaho, bought a lifetime license at a lower resident cost, and then moved away—while still benefiting from resident status in future hunting tag drawings. State Representative James Petzke, who introduced the bill, said the goal is to ensure these licenses go to people who genuinely commit to living in the state. The licenses, which can cost several hundred to over a thousand dollars depending on age, allow hunters and anglers to remain in the resident pool for tag draws, even if they later leave Idaho. That made them especially appealing to nonresidents looking for long-term advantages. Groups like the Idaho Wildlife Federation supported the change, noting concerns from residents about so-called “loophole” use—sometimes involving remote workers or hunting influencers temporarily relocating. While officials haven't provided exact numbers of misuse, thousands of lifetime licenses have been issued in recent years. Supporters argue the new five-year rule better reflects the program's intent: rewarding long-term residents, not short-term opportunists. Idaho now has one of the strictest residency requirements in the country for lifetime sporting licenses—second only to Wyoming. Sample of state residency requirements (typically consecutive): 10 years: Wyoming 5 years: Idaho 1.5 years: Mississippi 1 year: Arkansas, Kansas, Minnesota, New York, Tennessee 6 months: Arizona, California, Texas 30 days: West Virginia Valid driver's license: Georgia Officials say the new law is meant to preserve fairness and maintain public trust in a program designed for committed residents.

The Land Podcast - The Pursuit of Land Ownership and Investing
Welcome to the land podcast, a platform for people looking to educate themselves in the world of land ownership, land investing, staying up to date with current land trends in the Midwest, and hearing from industry experts and professionals. On today's episode, we are back in the studio talking with Dalton Gilbert. We discuss: Building a home on land almost always costs 20–30% more than expected. Sweat equity can dramatically reduce the cost of building your own home. Interest rates can add hundreds per month during a build timeline. Slab homes and shophouses are often the most economical build style. Many hunters are relocating to Iowa for trophy whitetail opportunities. Box blinds and standing crops are changing hunting strategies statewide. Hunter efficiency today is leading to more mature bucks being harvested. Whitetail hunting drives massive economic impact in rural counties. Small local businesses thrive when hunters travel to hunt big deer. Hard work matters, but family and integrity should always come first. And so much more!

This podcast episode explores various strategies for maximizing hunting properties through effective land management, habitat improvement, and sustainable practices. The conversation delves into the importance of evaluating landscapes, managing water resources, and integrating wildlife support systems. The guest, Ben Falk, shares insights on pond design, the role of animals in fertility, and the benefits of perennial crops, emphasizing a holistic approach to land stewardship. In this conversation, the speakers delve into various aspects of sustainable land management, focusing on tree management, the use of herbicides, the dynamics of invasive species, and the human impact on ecosystems. Jon Teater and Ben discuss the importance of working with nature rather than against it, emphasizing the long-term benefits of planting trees and fostering biodiversity. The conversation also touches on the mindset shifts necessary for effective land stewardship and the legacy that current practices can leave for future generations. takeaways Start your design with soil type and regional land use. Evaluate your property at a finer level for better management. Animal enrichment creates healthier wildlife environments. Water management is crucial for supporting life and habitats. Ponds provide multiple benefits, including recreation and wildlife support. Integrate trees and perennial crops for sustainable growth. Cows can enhance soil fertility through their natural behaviors. Thinning trees can promote better growth and health. Planting diverse species can create resilient ecosystems. Managing water resources can lead to new springs and groundwater recharge. Hardwoods can reset and manage tree populations effectively. Plums can be toxic to cattle, necessitating careful management. Nature's systems are inherently balanced and not making mistakes. Herbicides are often unnecessary; plants can manage themselves. Invasive species can be beneficial and should be understood, not eradicated. We are part of nature and can positively influence ecosystems. Planting trees is a long-term investment in the future. The act of planting trees can shift one's perspective on nature. Human impact on landscapes can create lasting legacies. Digital hygiene is important for health in a tech-driven world.

I chased whitetails on public land in the big woods of Wisconsin and the badlands of North Dakota, and it was painfully obvious that I wasn't in Kansas anymore. What I thought would be a fun and challenging adventure quickly turned into a therapy session I didn't sign up for. Hunting out of state pushed me out of my comfort zone, highlighted...
