Dave is a country music artist by trade, but when he isn't in the studio or on the stage he likes to get outdoors. A guy that is country to the core, Dave enjoys all things hunting and fishing and his new show, "Hang Time with Dave McElroy" brings viewers along for the ride. He joins The Revolution this week to talk about his recent axis deer hunt in Hawaii, hunting bears with hounds, his country music career and more. Listen in as Dave dives into:
- Interesting takeaways from the Hawaiian hunting experience - the varied and rugged terrain, the differences between axis deer and whitetails in behavior, habits and appearance.
- Hunting strategy for axis deer and the value of a great guide.
- Looking at Hawaii from a sportsman's perspective instead of a beach/vacation destination and seeing everything it has to offer.
- The amazing turkey and bird hunting available on the Hawaiian islands.
- Bear hunting with hounds - somewhat of a lost art that Dave wanted to show viewers.
- The way hounds work starting from a bait site or from the hood of a truck to catch a scent and then track a bear.
- The extensive amount of ground hounds can cover tracking a bear and the physical nature of that kind of hunt for not just the hounds but the hunter(s) as well.
