Luke Clayton invites you to his camp to talk about the great outdoors.
Every Saturday morning at 7:35 a.m. CT during Weekend Edition, he'll be telling hunting and fishing stories, and a whole lot more. You'll learn how to make sausage, cook over a campfire, get some wild game recipes, as well as inside tips on how you can become a more successful outdoorsman.
Luke was raised in very rural Red River County where he grew up hunting and fishing. He began amateurishly writing about his adventures at the age of 12, the accounts of his boyhood outings often filling several pages of his Big Chief tablets.
Luke began writing professionally in his 20s and currently writes an outdoor newspaper column that runs weekly in 45 Texas newspapers. Luke is hunting/shooting columnist for Texas Wildlife Magazine and writes regular features for several other outdoor magazines, including Airgun Hobbyist, where he is also Hunting Editor.
Luke and his good buddy Jeff Rice film and produce a weekly outdoor show, A Sportsman’s Life. Please go to YouTube and subscribe. Radio is a fun endeavor for Luke and his shows are known for his relaxed and ‘down home’ style.
Luke is on the pro staff of AGM GLOBAL VISION THERMAL SCOPES AND SPOTTERS, SMOKIN TEX ELECTRIC SMOKERS AND CATFISH PRO BAITS AND CATFISHING SUPPLIES
Luke covered hunting for the current Texas Almanac, one of the oldest and most revered publications in the state.

Luke enjoys outdoor cooking almost as much as hunting and fishing. This week he shares a gumbo recipe that is a bit different from most, he first smokes the meat before incorporating it in with the veggies. After cooking a big pot of wild turkey and sausage gumbo this past week, he thought many of you might wish to try his recipe. Of course, the meat from a smoked chicken will work also. Learn more about what Luke through his website www.catfishradio.org or listen to his podcast "Catfish Radio with Luke Clayton and friends" wherever you find your podcasts. -
