Outlaws, Swamp Bucks, and Second Chances With Roy Withers (Louisiana)
Manage episode 500944684 series 3657556
It started with a poor country boy chasing squirrels in the Louisiana woods and turned into a lifetime of chasing big game across the country. Roy Withers grew up in the swamps, running coon dogs and deer hunting, eventually finding a way to fund his out-of-state hunts by pulling century-old cypress logs from bayous and turning them into bar tops and furniture. His stories weave through public-land giants, the politics of hunting along the Mississippi River, and the gritty reality of growing up without a hunting mentor.
Roy shares the lessons that shaped him—from learning patience in the deer stand to taking troubled kids and veterans on hunts that changed their lives. He talks about Louisiana’s hidden big-buck pockets, the swamp’s “duck hunter barter system,” and how chasing inches eventually gave way to chasing experiences. From 175-inch whitetails at home to elk in Utah and moose in Alaska, Roy’s path is anything but ordinary.
Pull up a chair for a conversation full of grit, generosity, and good storytelling—the kind you only get from a man who’s lived it.
