About DSC Campfires with Larry Weishuhn

DSC Campfires with Larry Weishuhn treats the outdoors as a lived culture, not just a list of seasons and species. The show returns again and again to the practical details that shape time in the field. Firearms, optics, ammunition, bows, habitat work, migration patterns, lodges, guides, and conservation all sit comfortably in the same conversation. It is talk from people who remember particular guns, particular places, and particular hunts. That specificity is the appeal. A Q&A segment can spend several minutes weighing handgun cartridges, then move into red dots, long-eye-relief scopes, handgun loads, and what to do with grassy fields when a burn ban prevents prescribed fire. Another episode can handle crossbows without turning the discussion into a simple argument, noting both the opportunity they create and the mechanics that make them different from vertical bows. The pace is conversational and unhurried. Listeners hear laughter, corrections, side roads, and the easy repetition of people who have known each other through camps and hunts. Some episodes lean into travel, including England, red stag adventures, Namibia, South Africa, New Brunswick, and other hunting or fishing destinations named in the recent run. Others stay closer to home, with talk of East Texas shotguns, bird dogs, quail, waterfowl, flooded corn, and how changing farm practices affect migration and habitat. The show also keeps conservation in view through DSC, the Texas Wildlife Association, and recurring attention to land, animals, and outdoor access. It is not a polished studio panel chasing hot takes. It is more like sitting near the fire while experienced outdoors people compare notes, tell on themselves, and name the gear that worked. The result is warm, detailed, and unapologetically hunting-centered. It will fit listeners who like fieldcraft, sporting tradition, and practical outdoor stories told with patience.

Made for: For hunters, anglers, conservation-minded outdoors people, and gear-curious listeners who enjoy detailed camp talk. It especially suits those interested in whitetail, waterfowl, shotguns, crossbows, habitat, and destination hunts.

What sets it apart: The show’s strength is its blend of relaxed camp storytelling and granular field advice. Episodes often move from friendship and memory into exact gear, habitat, and species-specific decisions without losing the campfire feel.

In their own words

Short reviews from the PlayNext desk, based on the episodes we processed.

Campfire Talk with Jim Bequette, Jim Block, Dusty Vickrey, Jesse Baird at the Choctaw Hunting LodgeApr 15, 2026

A hog sighting gives way to easy jokes and talk of time spent together.

The hog story starts with a signal that three are in sight. More appear, and Jim's reaction gives the telling its best laugh. Larry and his guests linger on that moment before the talk drifts toward getting together again.

EP 330 You Asked & Mr. Whitetail Answers! Q&A with LarryApr 9, 2026

EP 326 Habitat, Heritage, and the Love of ShotgunningMar 11, 2026

Steven Mersky discusses daylight, cold fronts, and farm fields in duck migration.

EP 326 Two-Fanged Deer & Global Hunting Insights with Dr. Mike ArnoldMar 4, 2026

Rifle choices for small animals lead to a rueful blue duiker story.

Larry and his guest consider rifle choices for small animals, weighing the 6.5 against a .243 and .222. They discuss heavier bullets and the concern that a frangible bullet may be a poor choice. Then one hunter recalls taking a .375 on a blue duiker hunt.

EP 325 Tradition, Quail, and Classic Shotguns with Rick LambertFeb 25, 2026

A quail hunt leads Rick Lambert and Larry into shotgun memories, East Texas hunting, and a fondness for tradition.
