In this episode of Bringing Back the Wild, Mike Arnold sits down with Dusty Vickrey, wildlife operations manager at Choctaw Hunting Lodge, to explore how passion, stewardship, and science drive one of Oklahoma’s premier hunting properties. Dusty shares how he grew up deer hunting and bowhunting whitetails before building a 17-year career in the school bus industry. A chance hunting trip and the COVID shutdown redirected his path and led him into full-time wildlife management.

Dusty explains how the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma manages more than 22,000 acres of free-range habitat alongside a 1,000-acre high-fence operation. He details a strict, biology-driven approach to conservation, including aging harvested bucks, spotlight surveys, habitat burns, and collaboration with wildlife biologists. Mentorship from Larry Weishuhn plays a key role in shaping long-term management decisions.

The conversation also covers elk, bison, exotic species, and turkey hunting, along with partnerships through Dallas Safari Club. Dusty emphasizes discipline, restraint, and teamwork as the foundation for growing mature animals and sustaining exceptional hunting experiences year after year.
