In this episode of "Hunting Matters," we're joined by Anthony Vaughan, a Relationship Manager with Capital Farm Credit, who is based out of Winnie, TX. Anthony was raised in Southeast Texas, graduated from Hamshire-Fannett High School, and earned a business degree from Lamar University. His early life was shaped by agricultural mechanics and regional rodeo competitions.

We dive into Anthony's diverse background, which includes experience across the automotive, oil and gas, outdoor, and agricultural industries, discussing how these roles prepared him for his current position. Anthony shares what originally drew him to Capital Farm Credit and what he enjoys most about supporting borrowers with financing solutions for land acquisitions and operational needs related to farming and ranching.

Anthony provides an overview of Capital Farm Credit's services, explaining what sets them apart from other lenders, including their cooperative structure and the patronage program benefit for members. We discuss the common goals and challenges he sees among farmers, ranchers, and landowners, as well as how market trends and land values in Texas are affecting property management and financing. We also explore how Capital Farm Credit helps landowners invest in conservation and habitat improvement projects, aligning with the values of HSCF.

As a long-time corporate partner of the Houston Safari Club Foundation (HSCF) , Anthony discusses the importance of the partnership and how groups like HSCF make a difference in the agricultural and outdoor communities.

Finally, we explore Anthony’s personal passions, including his side business, Birdstrap Leather Company, discussing how it started, what inspired the name, and how he balances the company with his professional and family life. Anthony shares his enjoyment of hunting, fishing, restoring his 1986 Chevrolet C10 with his son, and shooting clay targets with his daughter—hobbies that deeply align with the audience. He offers valuable advice for those looking to purchase their first piece of rural land or get involved in agriculture and land stewardship.

Tune in to hear Anthony's insights on land, family, and what keeps his career and lifestyle, rooted in Texas values, motivated and grounded.
