Fall is officially here but the bean hole is still producing. CatDaddy says the catfishing action comes and goes as the weather fluctuates from warm to cold, right now, but chumming with beans is still incredibly effective. As soon as sustained cooler temperatures and cold rains hit, the bean hole action will come screeching to a halt so now is the time to get in on the bean hole action while the bite is still hot! When you regularly fish a bean hole and chum it frequently, like CatDaddy does, he says the cats become accustom to the soybean concoction and they all pile in to get their fill which creates a great opportunity for catfishermen. While he is still hitting the soybeans hard, CatDaddy says he’s prepping for drifting action.
Every now and then I crave a hearty sandwich, and by “every now and then” I mean every day! I want a sandwich that will stick to my ribs all day long and one that is every bit as delicious as it is filling. Plus, any time I get to grill my grub, I’m a happy camper. If you like a sandwich that is heavy on the meat, then this is for you!
As hunters, it’s easy to become so preoccupied with scouting, hunting, equipment and making a lethal shot that we often forget about field care once that animal hits the ground. In truth, getting that animal on the ground is only half the battle, there is still a lot of work to be done before it makes it to the freezer.
How do you hang your deer? Most will say they hang them by the hind legs of course, is there any other way? What may seem like a simple question is actually one that is hotly debated. You know what they say, opinions are like...noses, nobody wants to pick yours! Everybody has a method they use and if you don’t subscribe to their school of thought there can be, often times, plenty of judgement, snickering and questioning of a person’s legitimate hunting skill.
How do you hang your game animals? A simple rope and gambrel, a manual hoist and gambrel system or maybe an electric hoist. Having the right equipment can make hanging, aging and processing, much easier. Let’s take a quick look at these different options.
The majority of hunters turn to local butchers and processors to work up their fresh kill, but that isn't necessary. From start to finish, a novice butcher can breakdown a complete mature deer and have it packaged in 2 1/2 hours, easily.
Before we begin the step-by-step process, it’s important to know and understand each cut of meat and how it can be used.
The smoke has cleared and standing in its absence is the one and only Weber Grill Master Kevin Kolman. The man, the legend, the barbecue guru is back on The Revolution this week. He’s fresh off of the American Royal World Series of Barbecue in Kansas City, where they competed against almost 200 teams in a variety of different categories. Everyone wants to be the ultimate pitmaster, but one reigns supreme, so let’s pick his brain!
They are America’s most hunted big game animal. Millions of hunters set out each and every season with the goal of bringing one home. Whitetails! It’s not just about the typical and non-typical racks, it’s also about the backstraps. Deer hunting is an ever changing and evolving sport - new ideas and theories about hunting tactics and management strategies make their way into the outdoor space all the time. Gordon Whittington is the Editor in chief of North American Whitetail magazine and for the last 35 years they have been at the forefront of informing readers about this changing landscape. Gordon joins us this week as we talk about everything that comes after the shot.
“You’ve got an encounter with an animal and you get really excited and you kind of go into that zone, or that daze. The next thing you know, the shot has taken place, the animal has vacated the area and you’re standing there thinking, what just happened.” - Christian Berg
The hunt is fun, challenging and thrilling, but once it’s over you’re left with memories and a pile of meat. Wild game is delicious and if hunters put half as much thought into their wild game cooking and preparation as they do the hunt itself you’d never hear the phrase, “it tastes too gamey”, again!
