Mr. Whitetail Recounts His England Hunting Excursion, Spring Striper Fishing, and Spotlight on Dallas Safari Club

Host Luke Clayton and guest Larry Weishuhn discuss Larry's recent hunting trip to Suffolk County, England.

Larry details his experience hunting two unique, primitive deer species: the Chinese water deer and the Muntjac.

He explains that the Chinese water deer lacks antlers entirely but features elongated upper canines, or fangs, that protrude heavily.

The Muntjac is described as a small, prehistoric-looking invasive species that weighs about 30 pounds and possesses tall pedicles, short antlers, and fangs.

Larry shares details about their lodging at the Waveney House Hotel in Beccles, a historic structure built in 1540.

They discuss the history of fallow deer in Europe, noting that the Romans historically introduced herds of them to new areas to provide a food source for their soldiers and settlers.

The segment highlights the profound contrast between modern hunting and the deep history embedded in hunting on 500-year-old English estates that feature centuries-old castles.

Larry discusses his deep involvement with the Dallas Safari Club (DSC) and the DSC Foundation, detailing their dedication to wildlife conservation.

He explains the rapid growth of the DSC chapter system, which currently includes around 30 chapters globally.

Larry outlines the organization's fundraising model, explaining that 75% of funds raised stay with the local chapter, 20% goes to the DSC Foundation, and 5% supports the primary DSC organization.

Luke speaks with Bill Carey of Striper Express about the current fishing conditions on Lake Texoma.

Bill highlights a recent trend of catching "Magnum" white bass (sand bass), with many of the fish weighing up to three pounds.

He shares his highly successful technique of using three-inch sea shad lures on half-ounce jigs in shallow, five-foot water to "match the hatch" of the current baitfish.
