Did you know that bears are North America’s #2 big game animal? With information based on license sales, it has been shown that there are more black bear hunters than elk, moose, sheep, pronghorn, mountain goat, mountain lion, mule deer and caribou hunters combined. With spring and fall seasons, there are a lot of opportunities. Tim Anello is the host of “Inside Outdoors TV”, Thursdays at 11:30 pm ET on Outdoor Channel, and he just returned from a black bear hunt in Saskatchewan where both he and his cameraman successfully filled their tags with nice boars. He’ll join us this week to talk about the ins and outs of black bear hunting, field judging, shot placement, baiting and season 13 of “Inside Outdoors TV” that’s set to premiere in July.

How old were you when you went on your first hunt?

The earlier you introduce kids to the outdoors, the more likely they are to continue hunting, fishing and recreating outdoors for life. Gregg Ritz is the host of “Hunt Masters”, an avid hunter and conservationist, plus a dad. Recently, Gregg took his 12-year-old daughter Savanna on her first bear hunt in Alberta, Canada and he joins The Revolution this week to talk bear hunting and getting kids involved in the outdoors and hunting lifestyle.

Chicken isn’t a meat that has that much flavor. For the most part it’s pretty blah. However, it’s cheaper than most other traditional grilling meats. I can pick up 12 drumsticks and 12 thighs for under $7. By the time you add a foil pan, some seasonings and sauce you’re spending less than fifty cents per piece. That’s hard to beat! I have four kids that eat like a pack of wild dogs, they are ravenous all the time. So, when we aren’t eating wild game, chicken is a cost-effective way of feeding the troops.

Let’s cook some prime rib! No, it’s not a holiday, although grilling season in and of itself should probably be considered one. In the depths of my freezer I recently found a nice prime rib roast and decided to send it to my Weber Summit Charcoal Grill for some special treatment. The daunting part about cooking prime rib is that it’s expensive and you don’t want to screw it up. A lot of people cook them in the oven, and it can be hard to break out of a formula that is working for you. However, the smoke flavor is something you can only truly achieve on the grill and I promise, it’s well worth it!
