Background

Sam Houston owns the African Hunt Club Ranch in Pope County, Texas. He is a Vietnam Veteran.

During the events of Airwolf: Season 2 Episode 1 Sweet Britches played by James Whitmore Jr.

Buddy is at a campfire with Sam at the African Hunt Club Ranch in Pope County, Texas, when he hears a noise and Sam tells him it is a cheetah. They hear a lion roar and Sam tells Buddy it is Sam, the first big cat he ever brought back from Africa. Sam walks into the local bar and Buck and Billie tell him different stories on what they encountered. Sam tells Sheriff Bogan that Buddy is willing to pay 100,000 dollars to hunt a person. Later, while they are waiting for Bogan, Buddy mentions to Sam that he wished he had gone to Vietnam, but he had to take care of his invalid mother. Bogan arrives and deputizes Buddy and tells him he has an escaped prisoner that needs to be caught. Sam and Buddy start hunting Stringfellow Hawke and Buddy starts shooting at him. Airwolf suddenly appears and knocks over their jeep as it flies by and Buddy breaks his neck in the crash, while Sam survives. As he looks up, the lion Sam walks towards him and Sam is eaten by a pride of lions.
