Cecil Corringham of Life-Form Taxidermy discusses conservation and community outreach funded by hunters

Épisode 17

mardi 19 mai 2026 • Durée 27:45

In this episode of Bringing Back the Wild, Mike Arnold sits down with South African master taxidermist Cecil Corringham to explore a life shaped by resilience, artistry, and a deep love for wild places. Cecil shares how he grew up in an orphanage and discovered hunting during weekend trips to friends’ farms, where he learned independence, bushcraft, and respect for wildlife. A survival course under renowned conservationist Dr. Ian Player cemented his passion for Africa’s wild landscapes.

Cecil traces his unexpected path into taxidermy, where natural artistic talent and relentless work ethic helped him build Life-Form Taxidermy into a world-class operation employing more than 100 people. He explains why hunters drive conservation across Africa, support rural economies, and protect habitat from poaching and corruption. Beyond business, Cecil funds anti-poaching units, supplies critical gear, and leads wheelchair initiatives that serve rural communities in Mozambique, South Africa, and Kenya.

This conversation highlights hunting’s role in conservation, the responsibility that comes with success, and the power of giving back.

Larry Weishuhn discusses all things Coues and Carmen Mountain Whitetails...and everything else...

Épisode 10

mardi 12 mai 2026 • Durée 45:15

Larry Weishuhn—Mr. Whitetail—returns for our first-ever repeat guest episode, and he delivers a masterclass in deer, habitat, and conservation.

Larry takes us deep into two extraordinary hunts for the smallest whitetail subspecies in North America: the Carmen Mountain whitetail (Odocoileus virgininianus carminensis) and the Coues deer (Odocoileus virgininianus couesi). He breaks down their biology, behavior, and habitats—from the rugged, high-elevation mountains of West Texas and northern Mexico to the oak- and pine-covered Sierra Madres of Durango.

This conversation goes far beyond hunting stories. Larry explains how exotic species like aoudad and elk reshape fragile desert ecosystems, compete with native deer, and force landowners and biologists to rethink wildlife management. He ties it all back to habitat, conservation economics, and responsible harvest—straight talk from decades of field experience.

If you care about whitetails, wild places, and doing conservation the right way, you don’t want to miss this episode.

Épisode 1

mardi 13 janvier 2026 • Durée 57:23

Episode Overview

In the inaugural episode of Bringing Back the Wild, Dr. Mike Arnold sits down with legendary outdoorsman Larry “Mr. Whitetail” Weishuhn.

From walking Texas woods alongside his father to taking his first whitetail from a tree stand some 30 feet above the ground, Larry’s story is one of curiosity, grit, and a lifelong devotion to the wild. That early passion set him on a remarkable path—one that would lead him to become a wildlife biologist, international hunter, television personality, and prolific author.

John Rigby & Co.'s Marc Netwon Discusses Rigby's History and Future

Épisode 18

mardi 28 avril 2026 • Durée 35:37

At the Safari Club International Convention in Nashville, we sit down with Mark Newton, Managing Director of John Rigby & Co., for a powerful conversation about heritage, leadership, and the future of the British gun trade. Mark traces his roots back to stalking roe deer with his father in the English countryside, where hunting shaped his character and forged lifelong family bonds. Today, he pours that same intentionality into raising his own daughters, teaching them gratitude, responsibility, and respect for wild game.

Mark shares the remarkable story of Rigby’s revival—how mentorship under Paul Roberts, bold backing from the Blaser Group, and relentless commitment to authenticity brought the 250-year-old brand back to life in London. He explains why he refuses to reinvent Rigby and instead builds on its legacy of craftsmanship, adventure, and conservation.

We also explore his big-picture vision: a new headquarters, expanded training academies for young gunmakers, and a long-term plan to unite historic British gun brands under shared ownership. Mark leads with humility, passion, and deep gratitude—and his vision reaches far beyond rifles to the preservation of culture, craft, and ethical hunting itself.

Daniela Fanzoj discusses the heritage of conservation reflected in Johann Fanzoj firearms

Épisode 19

mardi 21 avril 2026 • Durée 29:35

In this episode of Bringing Back the Wild, host Mike Arnold sits down with Daniela Fanzoj of the historic Johann Fanzoj in Ferlach, Austria. Daniela shares how she grew up surrounded by mountains, hunters, and a 300-year family legacy rooted in a 500-year gunmaking tradition. She recounts taking over leadership after her father fell ill and describes how she and her brother transformed the company into an elite, niche manufacturer that produces only 20 to 24 handcrafted firearms each year.

Daniela explains how Ferlach’s gunmaking heritage earned recognition from UNESCO for preserving generational craftsmanship. She details the firm’s commitment to in-house production, rare Circassian walnut, and master engraving that can require hundreds of hours per project. Through their “Majesty of Nature” line, she channels art into conservation messaging, emphasizing that hunting sustains wildlife. Daniela outlines a bold vision: elevate meaning over decoration, mentor the next generation, and use functional art to champion conservation worldwide.

Discussion with Joe Croot of Royal Outfitters UK

Épisode 8

mardi 14 avril 2026 • Durée 51:25

In this episode of Bringing Back the Wild, Mike Arnold sits down with his longtime friend Joe Croot, a professional gamekeeper, outfitter, and founder of Royal Outfitters UK. Joe shares how his grandfather introduced him to hunting, land stewardship, and harvesting food from the wild, setting him on a lifelong path outdoors.

Joe explains how strict firearms laws in England shaped his early hunting career and pushed him toward rifle clubs, predator control, and eventually professional gamekeeping. He describes cutting his teeth on fox control, earning land access through trust, and building a reputation as a skilled and reliable hunter. That experience led him into large-scale estate management, where he worked on intensive conservation and game recovery projects in Scotland, including deer management and upland grouse restoration.

The conversation highlights Joe’s mentorship under an innovative gamekeeper who shaped modern driven shooting practices in the UK. Joe also walks listeners through the leap from employee to entrepreneur, detailing how he built a successful outfitting business and rural sporting goods store to serve hunters and shooters in remote areas.

Throughout the episode, Joe emphasizes responsibility, land management, and conservation as the foundation of ethical hunting. His story reflects a life built on hard-earned skill, mentorship, and a deep respect for wildlife and wild places.

Interview with Dan Cabela

Épisode 6

mardi 24 mars 2026 • Durée 36:15

In this episode, Mike sits down with Dan Cabela, one of today’s most influential voices in hunting-led conservation. Dan shares the origin story of Hard Truths of Conservation and explains how a conversation around a campfire in Mozambique sparked a television project that now reaches global audiences. What began as documentation of lion reintroductions evolved into a cinematic series carried by History Channel and now Discovery Channel.

Dan explains why the show targets non-hunters, how it presents conservation challenges without preaching, and why honest storytelling matters more than advocacy slogans. He previews Season 4, which opens with a powerful bison relocation project near Kodiak Island that blends science, Indigenous culture, food security, and sustainable use.

The conversation then turns to one of the most ambitious wildlife projects in Africa: the reintroduction of lions, cheetahs, and hyenas into Coutada 11 in the Zambezi Delta. Dan details the risks, setbacks, and ultimate success of rebuilding apex predator populations that will fund their own conservation through regulated hunting.

Throughout the episode, Dan reinforces a clear message: science, local communities, and responsible hunting drive real conservation outcomes.

A discussion on Hunting, Conservation, and Policy with Governor Kelly Armstrong of North Dakota

Épisode 13

mardi 10 mars 2026 • Durée 30:00

In this episode of Bringing Back the Wild, Governor Kelly Armstrong of North Dakota joins the conversation at the Dallas Safari Club to talk hunting, conservation, and the real-world intersection of land use, agriculture, and public policy. Governor Armstrong shares how his upbringing in western North Dakota shaped his lifelong passion for bowhunting, bird dogs, and wild places, while teaching patience, humility, and respect for the land. He traces his path into politics from frustration with a single legislative issue to service in the state senate, Congress, and now the governor’s office.

Governor Armstrong explains why conservation matters to him not as an abstract ideal, but as a practical partnership with farmers, ranchers, and energy producers who live on and work the land every day. He makes a clear case that working lands create habitat, support wildlife, and sustain rural communities when policy respects local knowledge and economic reality. The discussion also dives into youth hunting, access to private land, and the importance of keeping hunting available to everyday families. Throughout the episode, Governor Armstrong emphasizes one core idea: if conservation, agriculture, and hunting all work together, communities thrive and wildlife follows.

Interview with Tim Lowe & Duane Harris - Memorable Outdoors Moments

Épisode 3

mardi 24 février 2026 • Durée 27:56

Episode Overview

While visiting College of Coastal Georgia to give a seminar, Dr. Mike Arnold sat down with Tim Lowe and Duane Harris—the two visionaries behind an innovative speaker series within the college’s Environmental Sciences program.

Their shared goal was both bold and intentional: to bring forward voices willing to discuss the often-misunderstood importance of consumptive sports, including hunting and fishing, in modern conservation.

In this episode of Bringing Back the Wild, Tim and Duane trace the origins of their “brainchild” and explain why exposing non-hunting students to the central role of hunting and angling is essential to understanding conservation success in North America and beyond.

Thoughtful, educational, and timely, this conversation highlights how honest dialogue and academic courage can help bridge cultural gaps and secure a future for wildlife conservation.

An interview with Outfitter and Conservationist, Mark Haldane of Zambeze Delta Safaris

Épisode 9

mardi 10 février 2026 • Durée 43:50

In this episode of Bringing Back the Wild, host Mike Arnold talks with longtime friend and professional hunter Mark Haldane about one of Africa’s most remarkable conservation success stories—Coutada 11 in Mozambique.

Haldane traces his path from a free-roaming childhood in South Africa to nearly four decades in the safari industry, culminating in his work restoring a war-ravaged landscape. When he first entered Coutada 11 in 1994, wildlife barely survived. Buffalo numbered in the hundreds, sable antelopes clung to a single small herd, and zebra nearly disappeared. Through protection, habitat recovery, and disciplined management, wildlife rebounded dramatically. Today, tens of thousands of animals roam freely across an unfenced ecosystem.

As the land healed, Haldane made a deliberate choice to restore balance by reintroducing apex predators. Lions, supported in part by Mary Cabela and her family, returned to the landscape under rigorous scientific monitoring. Hunting now removes less than one percent of the population while funding long-term protection.

The conversation also highlights community-driven conservation, including a thriving beekeeping program that empowers local women and a successful pangolin rehabilitation effort. Throughout the episode, Haldane delivers a clear message: when conservation creates real value for people, the wild comes back—and stays.
