Mysterious Horse Killers Return & Gulf Great White Sharks

Leave a comment

In this gripping episode of Dark Outdoors, we uncover a chilling and ongoing mystery unfolding across Texas and beyond—where horses are being found shot, mutilated, or poisoned in a string of brutal and unexplained attacks.

From Kendall and Waller Counties to Bexar and Smith, horses are being executed in pastures, dumped in brush, or even tied up and shot in the head. Authorities have few leads—and the killers remain free.

LIsten to the episode here.

We examine whether these killings are tied to the illegal horse meat trade, part of a ritualistic pattern, or the work of thrill killers. And we expand our search beyond Texas—to Nevada—where a serial horse killer is targeting ranch animals near Las Vegas with chilling precision.

With exclusive insight from Higher Calling Wildlife’s investigative reports, this episode dives deep into what may be a multi-state pattern of cruelty, fear, and silence. If you’re a rancher, horse owner, or outdoor enthusiast, you won’t want to miss this investigation into what might be the most underreported animal cruelty crime wave in the U.S.

Follow Us At Gulf Great White Shark Society

In June 2025, I launched the Gulf Great White Shark Society, a groundbreaking initiative dedicated to raising awareness about the presence and importance of great white sharks in the Gulf of Mexico.

Timed with the 50th anniversary of Jaws, the Society’s founding celebration took place at the Museum of the Gulf Coast in Port Arthur, Texas, featuring a documentary premiere, awards, and scholarships honoring young conservationists.

The Society has already garnered recognition, with its website receiving “Best Outdoors Website” honors from the Texas Outdoor Writers Association.

Great White Sharks

They Are Wrong About Great Whites!

Leave a comment

When I saw an article that from said great white sharks will not enter the Gulf of Mexico pop up in my Google alerts, I couldn’t help but giggle. I am after all the creator of the Gulf Great Whites blog, so it definitely grabbed my attention.

Even though I hadn’t yet read the story, I knew this was another opportunity to use this platform to educate people that great white sharks are indeed present in Gulf waters. And it’s just another example of how few people, even those in media realize this.

Huge Response To Grizzly Episode. Don’t Miss it!

In this special episode of Dark Outdoors®, we bring you an uncut, hour-long firsthand account from Ben Verheul, a man who faced one of nature’s apex predators—and lived to tell the tale. Deep in the Wyoming backcountry, Verheul found himself in a life-or-death struggle with a grizzly bear, one he shockingly realized he had encountered before.

I am getting lots of great feedback on this truly fascinating, scary and inspiring episode.

Chester Moore Announces Gulf Great White Sharks Project

1 Comment

Chester Moore, a renowned wildlife journalist and conservationist, has announced the launch of a new blog and website dedicated to great white sharks in the Gulf of Mexico.

The blog, titled “Gulf Great White Sharks,” aims to provide a comprehensive platform for the latest news, reports, and research on great white sharks in the Gulf region.

For over a decade, Chester Moore has been investigating and publishing articles and podcasts on great white sharks in the Gulf. Inspired by the groundbreaking work of organizations like the Atlantic White Shark Conservancy (AWSC) and Ocearch, Moore decided to create the blog after witnessing the movements of a particular great white shark named “LeeBeth”.

Moore remarked, “LeeBeth’s movements, as tracked by the AWSC tag put on her by Capt. Chip Michalove in South Carolina, fascinated me. Seeing her presence near South Padre Island and then a few days later near Sabine Pass on the Texas-Louisiana border was truly remarkable. It highlighted the importance of understanding and conserving great white sharks in the Gulf of Mexico.”

Moore said the Sabine appearance in particular was interesting.

“A report from a very knowledgeable guide over a decade ago who was fishing 58 miles from the Sabine Jetties is what got me into researching white sharks in the Gulf. Incidentally, “LeeBeth” pinged very close to where he was fishing.”

The Gulf Great White Sharks blog is dedicated to the conservation of great white sharks and other apex predators in the Gulf of Mexico.

Visitors to the website, www.gulfgreatwhites.com, can expect to find a wealth of information on the behavior, ecology, and conservation efforts related to primarily to great whites but it will also deal with other sharks in Gulf waters.

Chester Moore is available for interviews to discuss his new project and the importance of conserving great white sharks in the Gulf of Mexico.

With the launch of this project, Chester Moore aims to raise awareness about the importance of preserving the marine ecosystem of the Gulf of Mexico and ensuring the continued survival of great white sharks and other apex predators.
