The Texas Predator Hunting Podcast

A conversation with Jaco Swanepoel of Numzaan Safaris on what it actually takes to book and run a South African hunting safari, real pricing, gun rental logistics, dangerous game encounters with Cape buffalo and hippo, and why a plains game hunt often costs less than a domestic elk trip. Also covered: predator calling in South Africa, shot placement across different species, and the economics of trade shows. Episode brought to you by allymunitions.com.

This episode breaks down the bipod vs. tripod debate for daytime predator hunting, when to run each, the tradeoffs in weight and stability, and why pan function might be the most overlooked feature in shooting platforms. Episode brought to you by allymunitions.com

This week we sit down with Lilly Cusenbary. Graham, Texas native, Clear Fork Country employee, and a hunter with more low-fence trophy bucks than most guys twice her age. We get into her elk hunt from hell, the debate over high-shoulder vs. spine shots, why coyotes are objectively smarter than deer, shot placement on pigs, and what it's actually like working the counter at a small-town processing shop during rut season. Also: predator hunting confessions, social media growing pains, and a little bit of everything else.

In this 12 Minute Talks segment, Wade breaks down running a red dot + 3x magnifier setup on a 12.5" 6ARC for daytime predator calling. Including gear tested (Vortex Spark Solar, NX8 1-8), why dot size becomes a real problem past 100 yards, and the missed coyote headshot that changed the setup entirely. If you're building a lightweight, quiet predator rig and weighing red dot magnifier vs. LPVO, this one's for you.

Proof Research announced PXT, a new gain-twist rifling system built off lessons from cannon barrel development, designed to cut pressure spikes, reduce throat erosion, and extend barrel life by up to 100%. In this episode, we break down the 500-year history of rifling, why gain-twist technology has been sitting on the shelf since the 1800s, and what PXT means for high-pressure cartridges, 6ARC, and the future of barrel manufacturing. We also get into why the timing lines up with military-driven high-pressure cartridge development, and why traditional twist barrels aren't going anywhere anytime soon either.
