Emperor’s Table Series: John Hudspeth

Emperor’s Table Series: John Hudspeth

Author: Sportsmen's Empire April 10, 2023 Duration: 1:02:23

On this episode of Huntavore, Nick’s sights turn southward as he is joined by John Hudspeth, Host of the Oklahoma Outdoors Podcast.  John may be the pickiest eater on the show, yet resides in a true sportsmen’s cornucopia of species to chase.  One in particular is the feral hog, an animal that brought a lot of attention to itself in the past several years.  John paints a picture of what Nick is to expect when he travels down and faces off against these formidable beasts.  To top it all off, John lays out a couple dishes for the Emperor’s Table that even picky eaters will enjoy.  Lots of great conversation on this episode of Huntavore.

John Hudspeth, AKA “The Voice of Oklahoma” , coined by one of his listeners, invited Nick and the Sportsmen’s Empire crew to a hog hunt.  Biting at the chance, Nick wanted to have John on the show to lay out what was to be expected when chasing hogs.  John gives some details on how to approach hog hunting, like feel free to take off in the morning, since the pigs in his area tend to be active evening and night.  Also, pigs are heavily motivated by food this time of year.  Put out the best grub, you’ll find the pigs.  Speaking of grub, John lays out some great dishes to be presented at the Emperor’s table.  John and the Oklahoma Outdoors Podcast can be found on Mondays on Sportsmen’s Empire Network.

There’s a particular satisfaction that comes from a meal you’ve pursued and prepared entirely yourself, a process that begins long before the kitchen. The Huntavore digs into that entire journey, from the field to the plate. Each conversation revolves around the practical realities of harvesting wild game, the careful art of butchering, and the countless ways to transform that protein into memorable food. You’ll hear from hunters, chefs, and everyday people who find a deeper connection to what they eat through this hands-on approach. This isn’t about trophies or boasting; it’s a grounded look at the skills, ethics, and simple joys involved in sourcing your own meat. The discussions are straightforward and relatable, focusing on technique, conservation, and a genuine respect for the natural world. Tune in for honest talk about failures and successes, favorite recipes for venison or waterfowl, and the quiet fulfillment found in this age-old practice. This podcast is for anyone curious about the full story behind wild game on the table, whether you’re an experienced hunter or just beginning to consider where your food originates. It’s a celebration of self-reliance, flavor, and the tangible results of time spent in the wilderness.
