7 July 2026, 8:00 am - 1 hour 10 minutesEP: 456 | The Story of the Muskox a Conservation Story
On this episode we’re joined by Brynn Parr, a research biologist for the Alaska Department of Fish & Game and she tells the conservation story of the Muskox. Admittedly, Muskox probably aren’t high on most people’s list of animals to learn about or even hunt, but their story is downright amazing. Most people don’t know that they were extirpated in Alaska by the 1920’s. In the 1930’s some forward thinking conservation minded folks got together and hatched a plan to bring them back. Purchasing captured animals in Greenland, they then had to be transported to the USA, quarantined and readied for a rail trip across the country and another boat trip up to Alaska. The story is worth a listen and reminds us how conservation projects are rarely easy.
Listen Learn and Enjoy.

30 June 2026, 8:00 am - 1 hour 23 minutesEp: 454 | Screw Worms Explained
On this episode we’re joined by Macy Ledbetter, a well-informed top flight biologist in Texas who’s monitoring the New World Screw Worm situation in Texas with maximum urgency. It’s a red hot topic in South Texas and many southern gamekeepers are paying attention to the outbreak. The screw worm and it’s near eradication is a captivating story and tribute to science. The fact that it has fought its way back has ranchers/hunters/gamekeepers concerned, and for good reason. Macy does an eloquent job explaining it all. WE salute the agencies that are fighting around the clock to protect the livestock and wildlife that could be effected. Even if you’re not close to Texas, this is a story everyone needs to know about.

This week, we are joined by John Byrd of Mississippi State University to discuss the highly invasive cogongrass and other troublesome weeds that create challenges for farmers, landowners, and gamekeepers alike. John is a true weed scientist who dedicates his time to helping farmers and gamekeepers combat these issues to protect crops, wildlife habitat, and the land they manage.
We all learned a lot from this conversation, and we believe it's a must-listen for anyone looking to improve their land management practices and habitat.

In this special Father’s Day episode, we share some heartfelt stories about the fathers who shaped our lives. We asked members of the Mossy Oak team to reflect on their dads and the memories that still mean the most to them, and the responses were incredible.
From life lessons learned in the woods to moments that still bring a smile years later, these stories remind us of the lasting impact fathers have on who we become. We enjoyed putting this episode together so much that we plan to make it an annual tradition.
We hope these memories inspire you to reflect on the people who helped shape your own journey.
Listen, Enjoy, and Happy Father’s Day.

21 June 2026, 8:00 am - 1 hour 11 minutesEP: 451 | The Story of the Beautiful Cahaba Lilies
This week we are joined by native plant specialist Kyle Lybarger and Cahaba Riverkeeper David Butler and we learn about a really unique and special plant. The Cahaba River Lilies bloom each spring and attract world wide attention. Once upon a time, many southern rivers had these lilies blooming on their shoals in the spring. Today only a few places still have them. These delicate white blooms create a sea of white along the shoals of the Cahaba River in their remaining places. Why? Because of mans influence the rivers and water levels have changed dramatically and eliminated the habitat these shoal lilies need. Thankfully we have people like David Butler and others that are fighting to help preserve the plants, habitat and the river. We think you will agree the story is amazing.
Listen, Learn and Enjoy.
