🦌 Welcome to Mansfield Outdoors!

Hunting. Fishing. Conservation. Adventure. Field to Table.

There’s something about being outdoors that never gets old.

The anticipation of an early morning hunt. Watching a good bird dog work a field. Casting a line into unfamiliar water. Setting up camp miles from home. Cooking a fresh harvest over an open fire and sharing it with good people.

That’s what Mansfield Outdoors is all about.

I’m Chef Michael Mansfield—a lifelong outdoorsman, hunter, angler, Marine Corps veteran, and professional chef.

For me, the outdoors has never been just a hobby. It’s a way of life, and it’s something I’m passionate about sharing with others.

So what can you expect from Mansfield Outdoors?

🦃 Hunting Adventures — Upland birds, waterfowl, deer, and other hunting experiences across the country.

🎣 Fishing & Outdoor Exploration — From familiar waters to new destinations and adventures.

⛺ Camping & Gear — Hot tents, traditional camps, equipment reviews, field-tested gear, and honest conversations about what works and what doesn’t.

🐕 Hunting Dogs & Fieldcraft — Learning from experienced handlers, discussing different breeds, and appreciating the incredible work these dogs do.

🔥 Field-to-Table Cooking — Bringing my professional culinary background into the outdoors, from preparing wild game in camp to creating restaurant-quality meals from the harvest.

🌲 Conservation & Education — Respecting our natural resources, practicing ethical hunting, and helping introduce the next generation to the outdoors.

🤝 Community & Camaraderie — Connecting hunters, anglers, veterans, families, and outdoor enthusiasts who share a passion for adventure.

And I want this to be a two-way conversation.

I want to hear about your hunts, your favorite equipment, your hunting dogs, your camp setups, your recipes, and the places you love exploring.

Whether you’ve been hunting for 40 years or you’re preparing for your very first trip, there’s a place for you here.

We’ve got some exciting adventures ahead, including an upcoming Oklahoma Panhandle upland hunting trip, and I’ll be sharing the preparation, equipment, experiences, and everything that happens along the way.

If you’re passionate about the outdoors, give Mansfield Outdoors a follow, invite a friend, and share this page with someone who loves hunting, fishing, or camping.

And let’s get the conversation started:

What’s your favorite outdoor pursuit—hunting, fishing, camping, or a little bit of everything?

Looking forward to hearing from everyone!

What to Expect | Mansfield Outdoors Oklahoma Panhandle Mixed Bag Hunt

November 30 – December 5, 2026 | Beaver, Oklahoma

What originally started as a solo upland hunting and camping trip is quickly growing into something much bigger! With more people expressing interest, I wanted to share a little more about what to expect and what we’re hoping to accomplish during our time in the Oklahoma Panhandle.

First and foremost, this is about hunting, conservation, camaraderie, and community.

Our primary focus will be pursuing wild pheasant and quail throughout the Beaver area, while enjoying several days of camping, outdoor cooking, and connecting with people who share our passion for the outdoors.

🦃 The Hunting

We’ll be exploring legally accessible public hunting areas, with pheasant and quail being our primary targets.

This is a true wild-bird hunting experience. There are no guaranteed birds, no stocked fields, and no promises of filling limits. Success will depend on scouting, weather, habitat conditions, and putting in the miles.

Whether you’re an experienced upland hunter or someone interested in learning, you’re welcome to join us.

🐕 Hunting Dogs

Working dogs are a huge part of the upland hunting tradition!

Pointers, flushers, and retrievers all bring something different to the field. Labradors, spaniels, setters, pointers, and other sporting breeds can make incredible hunting companions.

If you’re interested in bringing your dog, please reach out so we can discuss experience, training, and how to coordinate safely with other hunters and dogs.

We especially welcome opportunities for experienced handlers to share their knowledge with those looking to introduce their dogs to upland hunting.

⛺ Camping and Accommodations

I’ll personally be camping in the Beaver Dunes area, using my winter hot-tent setup.

Everyone is welcome to camp, bring an RV, or arrange accommodations nearby.

This will be a late-season hunting trip, so expect cold mornings, potentially freezing overnight temperatures, strong Panhandle winds, and changing weather conditions.

Please come prepared for winter camping if you plan to stay outdoors.

Participants are responsible for arranging their own campsites or lodging. You can join us for one day, several days, or the entire trip.

🔥 Campfires, Cooking, and Fellowship

One of the things I’m looking forward to most is spending time together after a day in the field.

Sharing hunting stories, discussing equipment and techniques, cooking good food, and enjoying the camaraderie that comes with being outdoors are just as important to me as the hunt itself.

As a professional chef and lifelong outdoorsman, field-to-table cooking is a big part of what Mansfield Outdoors represents. I’m looking forward to sharing that passion with everyone.

👨‍👩‍👧 Families, Youth, and New Hunters

Families and younger outdoor enthusiasts are absolutely welcome!

You don’t have to be actively hunting to enjoy the experience. There are opportunities to observe, learn about wildlife and conservation, spend time around camp, and connect with experienced outdoorsmen and women.

I’d especially love to see experienced hunters helping introduce the next generation to responsible hunting traditions.

Any mentorship opportunities will depend on the experience and availability of those attending. Parents and guardians remain responsible for their children, and all hunting activities must follow applicable laws and safety requirements.

📋 Important Things to Know

* This is an informal group gathering, not a paid guided hunt.
* Everyone is responsible for their own licenses, permits, equipment, am******on, transportation, food, and accommodations.
* All hunting must comply with Oklahoma regulations, season dates, bag limits, and property-access requirements.
* We will coordinate hunting groups based on participation, experience, dogs, and safety considerations.
* Weather and field conditions may change our plans.
* Please practice responsible hunting, respect landowners, and follow Leave No Trace principles.

Our Bigger Goal

What excites me most is seeing how many people want to be part of this.

Mansfield Outdoors is about more than harvesting game. It’s about conservation, passing down traditions, building friendships, supporting veterans and families, and bringing people together through a shared appreciation for the outdoors.

I hope this becomes the first of many opportunities for our community to get together across Oklahoma, Kansas, Texas, and beyond.

If you’re interested in attending, introduce yourself in the comments! Let us know where you’re coming from, whether you’re planning to hunt or camp, if you’re bringing a dog, and which dates you’re considering.

Looking forward to meeting everyone and making some great memories in the Panhandle!

From a new forward thinking agricultural perspective this is massive for the American farmer and hunter. Take a look at this video posted on YouTube from Dive Bomb Industries with the help from Saluna American Seed Company. H**p as a food plot and attractant for wild native birds including doves, this seed and fibers have many commercial and industrial benefits. This is a game changer.

Welcome to Mansfield Outdoors.

My name is Michael Mansfield.

I’m a husband, father, Eagle Scout, scoutmaster, retired Marine, chef, outdoorsman, and storyteller.

For most of my life, I’ve lived between two worlds:
the kitchen and the outdoors.

One taught me discipline, craftsmanship, and hospitality.
The other taught me patience, respect, self-reliance, and tradition.

Mansfield Outdoors was created to bring those worlds together.

This page is about:
• hunting traditions
• fishing culture
• conservation
• live-fire cooking
• storytelling
• family
• mentorship
• outdoor heritage
• and preserving a way of life that still matters.

Everything we cook outdoors is done over real fire:
wood, charcoal, cast iron, smoke, flame, and coals.

No gimmicks.
No staged influencer content.
Just real experiences, real food, and real stories.

Over time, this page will grow into films, outdoor cooking content, guide partnerships, field-to-table experiences, and stories from the lands and waters that shaped us.

We’re proud Texans but even more proud to call Oklahoma home while working throughout, Oklahoma Arkansas, Texas, and beyond.

I’d truly appreciate your support as we build this journey.

Heritage Lands & Waters to Fire

— Chef Michael & Kasey Mansfield

Mansfield Outdoors is a heritage-driven field-to-fire cooking channel focused on sourcing food through hunting, fishing, foraging, and local farms, then transforming it from wild harvest to fire-cooked meals and fine-finish plates. Wild Harvest → Fire Cook → Fine Finish. Field-to-table cooking. ...

Mansfield Outdoors was built on something bigger than just hunting, fishing, or cooking.

It’s about keeping traditions alive.

The early mornings.
The smoke on your clothes after a fire.
Coffee at camp before daylight.
Teaching kids how to fish.
Learning from older generations.
Cooking over real wood and coals.
Respecting the land, the water, and the harvest.

This way of life still matters.

At Mansfield Outdoors, everything we do outdoors is centered around live-fire cooking, storytelling, conservation, heritage, authentic outdoor experiences, and Hochatown catering and hospitality.

We’re currently looking to connect with:

• Trout & Fly Fishing Guides
• Hunting Outfitters
• Waterfowl Guides
• River Outfitters
• Ranches & Lodges
• Cabin Experience Partners
• Outdoor Brands & Creators
• Hochatown Event & Catering Partners

Our goal is to build real partnerships throughout Oklahoma, Arkansas, Texas, and beyond — combining outdoor adventure, hospitality, Hochatown catering, and field-to-fire cooking into unforgettable experiences and stories.

This isn’t staged influencer content.

This is real fire.
Real places.
Real stories.
Real traditions.

If you’re a guide, outfitter, lodge owner, event venue, or outdoor professional who shares those same values, we’d love to connect.
