 Cumulative Summary The January 17th edition of Catfish Radio offers a blend of local Texas flavor and international hunting adventure. The episode begins with the familiar camaraderie of Luke Clayton and Larry Weishuhn, grounding the show in the local hunting community's recent gathering at the Dallas Safari Club. This sets a tone of connection and shared passion for the outdoors. The core of the episode (Segments 2 and 3) transports the listener to the Sonoran Desert of Mexico. Guest Wade Derby provides an expert's perspective on destination hunting, breaking down the allure of giant Mule Deer and the elusive Coues Deer. Crucially, he dismantles common fears regarding travel and safety in Mexico, framing it as an accessible and professionally managed adventure for US hunters. The show concludes in Segment 4 with a return to "home base," as Luke provides actionable tips for local winter fishing and comfort food cooking. The production moves smoothly from high-adventure dream hunts to practical, everyday outdoor living, catering to a wide range of sportsmen—from the trophy hunter to the weekend angler and camp cook. Segment 1: Campfire Talk with Larry Weishuhn Guest: Larry Weishuhn ("Mr. Whitetail") Topic: DSC Convention Recap & Late Season Hunting Luke and Larry kick off the show catching up after the Dallas Safari Club (DSC) Convention. Convention Recap: They discuss the energy of the DSC convention, highlighting how great it is to reconnect with old friends and outfitters from around the world. Larry notes that despite the crowds, it felt like a family reunion for the hunting community. Late Season Opportunities: The conversation shifts to the field. Larry reminds listeners that even though mid-January marks the end of general deer season for many, there is still plenty of hunting to be done. He mentions upcoming opportunities for exotics and hogs, emphasizing that the hunting season in Texas never truly ends. Weather Talk: They touch on the bitterly cold weather sweeping through, discussing how it affects game movement and the hardiness required for late-season hunts. Segment 2: Mule Deer Hunting in Sonora, Mexico Guest: Wade Derby (Hunt Consultant, Crosshair Consulting) Topic: Giant Mule Deer of the Sonoran Desert Luke introduces Wade Derby, a veteran hunt consultant, to discuss one of the holy grails of North American hunting: Sonoran Mule Deer. The Attraction: Wade explains why Sonora is legendary—it produces mule deer with massive antlers, often exceeding 30 inches wide. He describes the unique desert terrain which allows for spot-and-stalk hunting. The Experience: They discuss the style of hunting, which involves "high-racking" (riding in high seats on trucks to spot game) and then stalking on foot. Wade emphasizes that this is a "gentleman's hunt" where you see lots of game, but patience is key to finding a trophy buck. Genetics & Management: Wade touches on how the ranches in Sonora manage their herds to allow bucks to reach full maturity, contributing to the region's reputation for record-book deer. Segment 3: Logistics and Mixed Bag in Mexico Guest: Wade Derby (Continued) Topic: Coues Deer, Safety, and Travel Continuing the discussion on Mexico, Luke and Wade dig into the logistics and other species available south of the border. Coues Deer: Beyond the giant mule deer, Wade highlights the Coues Whitetail, known as the "Grey Ghost." He describes the challenge of hunting these small, elusive deer in the higher elevations of the desert mountains. Safety Perception vs. Reality: Wade addresses the common concern about safety in Mexico. He reassures listeners that the hunting areas in Sonora are rural, peaceful, and heavily managed by outfitters who prioritize client safety. He states that the trouble spots often seen in the news are far removed from the hunting grounds. Travel Logistics: They discuss the ease of flying into Hermosillo and the professionalism of the outfitters in handling gun permits and transportation, making the trip relatively stress-free for American hunters. Segment 4: Wrap Up & Outdoor Cooking Guest: Luke Clayton (Solo/Wrap-up) Topic: Winter Fishing & Comfort Food Luke wraps up the show by shifting gears from international travel to local outdoor activities and cooking. Winter Fishing: Luke gives a brief report on the local fishing scene. He mentions that despite the cold, catfish and crappie bites can be excellent if you brave the elements, specifically targeting deep water structure. Cooking Tip: Closing on a culinary note, Luke shares a simple, hearty idea for venison stew or chili to warm up after a cold day outdoors. He emphasizes slow cooking to tenderize the meat and using basic root vegetables.
