Episode 827: So I Left France to Become an Outfitter in Texas

What this episode covers

Our friend Baptiste Marchais makes his return to the show this week. Having fled the Muslim/Socialism takeover of his native France for Texas 4 years ago, Baptiste is the epitome of an immigrant success story. He built his outfitter/tourism business from literally nothing into a thriving enterprise that brings European hunters to the Lone Star State for a taste of our culture and hunting tradition. Highlights from the conversation include: * Fleeing France for Texas * Hunting culture in France * Predator (lack thereof) hunting in France * What does he guide his international clients for in Texas? * French hunters don’t like feeders, why? * Does he miss anything about France? * Assimilating into America * The modern immigrant success story * Learning curve on guiding for Texas species * What does he like to hunt the most in Texas? * Cigar talk * Showing international hunters a “real” Texas experience * Does he still do bench press competitions? *
