Recently I read an article about all the mistakes men make when taking women hunting. For me, some of the points the article mentioned were accurate, while others couldn’t be further from the truth. Everyone is different, so what I believe and feel could be and probably will be completely different than what someone else feels and believes. As a female hunter, I don’t think I deserve special treatment when I go hunting. Here are a few of the topics mentioned that stuck out to me the most.
It’s a race to the bottom! The water temperatures are beginning to rise, and the catfishing action is top notch. CatDaddy, fishing guide at CatDaddy’s Catfishin’ Adventures in Kansas, joins The Revolution this week with spring specific tips for coaxing big cats to swallow your hook!
Catfish are cavity spawners that look for banks, hollow logs, washouts, boulders or any other structure they can get in or under. CatDaddy says he targets those kinds of areas and looks for brush piles, stumps, tree bottoms, cutout bends on banks and more as they are all good places to catch catfish. With temperatures rising and the onset of spawning coming soon, locating these areas can help anglers find productive hotspots for the next month or two to come.
Embarking on an incredible trek, “The Brigade: Race to the Hudson” follows 10 strangers turned teammates as they battle their way across 4 Canadian Provinces, 8 lakes and 7 river systems in a race against time to see if they can reach the finish line in just 28 days and take home $500,000. Success is wholly dependent upon their own skillsets, teamwork and will power. No fuel, no GPS – the only means of making this journey is with the legs they are standing on. Think you could hack it?
The country may be divided in many ways these days, however something almost everyone can agree on is denim. People love their jeans, casual or formal, a good denim is a solution for virtually every situation. Between Canada and the Lower 48, 90% of people pull on a pair of jeans almost every day. Jeans are as popular as burgers and fries and honestly, why not. Denim is the longest lasting material out there, jeans can truly last a lifetime. It’s hard to argue against purchasing a pair of pants that will fit you forever (as long as your waistline doesn’t change).

The Drury Outdoor team has become well known in the whitetail world for their successful management practices that produce incredible deer year after year. They are hands on and work carefully on each aspect of their properties to make them more attractive for wildlife and effective for hunting. Their farms are the envy of hunters across the country. Terry Drury, co-host of Bow Madness and Drury’s THIRTEEN, joins us to talk all things management this week.
David Morris is a kingpin in the whitetail world. He is the founder of Tecomate and co-host of “Tecomate Whitetail Nation” airing Sundays at 2:00 pm ET on Outdoor Channel. David has had years of experience managing properties with tremendous success and he joins The Revolution this week with advice for small acreage managers.
“We had the best plans in place in terms of hitting a mile marker or where we wanted to get to. You’ll see that those plans didn’t always come to fruition, that’s for sure. Mother Nature has a remarkable way of putting obstacles in front of you.” – Carley Julien, “The Brigade”
What could you contribute on an epic wilderness expedition? Do you have adequate survival and outdoor living skills? Could you stay mentally strong, even thru tough terrain and rough waters? “The Brigade – Race to the Hudson” does exactly that, this intense new show premiering April 22 at 8:00 pm ET on Outdoor Channel, puts 10 complete strangers together and tasks them with traveling 750-miles across the York Factory Express route in just 28 days. If they are able to complete that adventure in time, there is a prize waiting at the end.
Should you carry concealed every day? Of course! Where legal, it is a right and privilege you should exercise regularly! I’ve heard it said that, “It is better to be a warrior in a garden, than to be a gardener in a war”. Chew on that for a minute. The Second Amendment provides the constitutional right of the people to keep and bear Arms, a guiding principle that our Founding Fathers carefully implemented in 1791 and it has positively shaped and protected our society ever since. Contrary to some misled opinions, being an avid supporter of the Second Amendment and concealed carry doesn’t make you a vigilante or paranoid. A pro 2A stance also doesn't mean you are disgruntled or confrontational. It means you value life, the safety of yourself and others around you and you are lawfully carrying to potentially stop a violent crime that may be perpetrated. Carrying is insurance, nothing more, nothing less.
Have you patterned your turkey shotgun yet? Some hunters may say, “It worked just fine last season, so why should I bother?” Good question! Are you absolutely sure that your shotgun shoots straight? Do you know for certain that the pattern you are sending down range is dense enough to knock down the bird, not too tight or too scattered? Will you be shooting a new/different load than you did last season? There are a lot of factors that can affect your pattern, it’s essential to get to the range before you hit the field.
