Ep 55 - Coyote Trapping & Courtrooms with Buck Horton

In this episode, Maggie Williams sits down with her longtime friend Buck Horton to talk about their time at Arkansas State, their collegiate involvement with Ducks Unlimited, and the paths their lives have taken since. Buck shares his background as a trapper, how he got started, and why trapping continues to shape the way he hunts and views conservation. As a law student, Buck also gives listeners insight into how he balances a full-time job, his studies, and a life filled with hunting and trapping. The two dive into fur-bearing animals in Arkansas, trapping tactics, and what really matters on the trapline. They also walk through a full day of trapping together, what setups worked, and the lessons learned along the way.The conversation moves into bowhunting, bowfishing, discipline in the outdoors, and a turkey hunting story that nearly cost Buck his life!Find our host Maggie at:TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@themaggiewilliams?lang=enInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/themaggiewilliams/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/themaggiewilliamspodcast/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnJHqUBdfgnFLc3P87r88VwFind Buck Horton: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/1DCuQWBbRt/?mibextid=wwXIfrTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thebuckhorton?_r=1&_t=ZP-93De4NDWNv5Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thebuckhorton/?hl=enYouTube: https://youtube.com/@thebuckhorton?si=KfUC1RJJDLrFthjS🎯 Event SpotlightMark your calendars for the 2026 DSC Convention & Sporting Expo, happening February 6 through 8 in Atlanta, Georgia.
