In 1975 a dream was born down in south Texas. A dream to promote the sport, science and heritage of what we know as hunting. On that special day the Voice of Texas Hunting was conceived and for over 45 years Texas Trophy Hunters Association (TTHA) has protected and preserved Texas’ wildlife resources for our future generations. A few weeks ago, we had the opportunity to be in camp with found of Texas Trophy Hunters, Jerry Johnson. When you have an opportunity to sit down with the founder of such an iconic organization, you jump at the opportunity and Heath did just that.   Enjoy this episode with Heath, Chris Cobbet (executive vice president of Xpedition Enterprises), and Jerry Johnson (founder of TTHA)!
