Although it’s not even close to hunting season yet, now is the time that big bucks are killed. It’s all in the preparation, says Jeff Danker, host of “BuckVentures”, Wednesdays at 9:30 p.m. ET on Sportsman Channel. The sweat equity that happens during the spring and summer months sets the stage for your success this fall. Having good hunting ground that you have some sort of control over is important if you want to have any kind of consistent success. For some hunters that means buying land, for others that means leasing and in either scenario, often a lot of money is required to secure a hunting property. For other hunters that don’t have the means to buy or lease, finding hunting property means coming up with creative ways to nail down permission on private ground.
At long last, the weather is really starting to warm up consistently and with that spring warm up comes fantastic catfishing action. CatDaddy is The Revolution’s resident catfishing expert and he joins the boys this week with quick tips for shallow spring catfishing.
Edwin Evers is a powerhouse in the bass fishing world. He has secured 11 wins and 118 Top 20s in his 22-year career, won the 2016 Bassmaster Classic and clenched the win in the 2019 REDCREST. He also won the MLF Bass Pro Tour Stage Two in Conroe, TX, and Bass Pro Tour Points Championship and is one of only five competitors in history to pass the $3 million mark in career winnings. All combined, his experience and accolades make him one of the most successful anglers of all time. Tune in to The Revolution this week as Edwin joins the show to talk spring bass fishing.
Jordan Lee’s rise in the professional bass fishing circuit has been fascinating to watch. He started in high school fishing tournaments, competed in the College Bass Fishing Series, won two Bassmaster Classics, has more than 40 Top 10 finishes and sits today as an established and respected pro angler on the Major League Fishing Bass Pro Tour. His success hasn’t been an accident, it’s been hard earned. He joins The Revolution this week with a look at what it’s like competing on the Bass Pro Tour, the challenges of the fast paced format and he’ll also hand out a few quick spring bass fishing tips.
The world has been turned upside down by Coronavirus, and for many it has completely altered the way they live on a daily basis. Something as simple as going to the grocery store is now more challenging with social distancing rules in place and fears of exposure. People are now finding themselves at home, making do with the food they have on hand to avoid crowded public spaces. Scott Leysath is the host of “The Sporting Chef”, Sundays at 1:30 p.m. ET on Sportsman Channel and he joins The Revolution this week to talk quarantine cooking. Not sure what to do with the cans in the back corner of your pantry? What can you make with the mystery meat in the bottom of your freezer? Scott is here with tips.
As if turkey hunting couldn’t get any more challenging, some hunters choose to up the ante and chase gobblers with archery equipment. Turkeys have incredibly keen eyesight and can easily bust even the most seasoned turkey hunters in a split second. Furthermore, the kill zone on a turkey, whether you’re taking a head or body shot, is relatively small. Where shotguns provide a wide spread spray of lead to dispatch birds, archery hunters don’t have that luxury, their shots have to be on the money every time. Larry McCoy, host of “Respect the Game” Tuesdays at 9:30 pm ET on Sportsman Channel, is an archery hunting pro and he joins us to talk spring turkey hunting with a bow.
What’s your favorite way to hunt gobblers?
Mike Stroff is the host of “Savage Outdoors” Tuesdays at 10:00 pm ET on Sportsman Channel, and he’s spending some serious time in the field this spring calling in gobblers. While he says that he’s a fan of hunting turkeys with a shotgun, when it comes to archery equipment he prefers a crossbow over a vertical bow for turkeys. Shooting a crossbow is a lot like shooting a gun, Mike says, all you need are some shooting sticks and you can get on them and let a bolt fly. When hunting with a vertical bow, oftentimes hunters choose to sit in a blind where they can better mask the movement required to draw a bow.
Habitat management isn’t just about food plots, water sources, timber, cover and other land-oriented projects, predators are another factor that have to be managed in order to create an environment that will attract and hold wild game. Melissa Bachman, host of “Winchester Deadly Passion” Sundays at 11:30 am ET on Sportsman Channel, joins The Revolution to talk with Jim and Trav about the importance of implementing predator management on your property. She’ll also highlight a habitat project she took on that didn’t end quite the way she anticipated.
Whitetails are established and widespread all across the country, yet the Midwest powerhouse states tend to get much more recognition than others, for highly rated whitetail hunting opportunities. When it comes to the recognition of a state’s potential, Gordon Whittington says there are some out of the way places that have really great hunting, especially if you are a do-it-yourself kind of person.
Whitetails are by far the most hunted game animal in America. Millions of hunters nationwide chase the whitetail each fall and that means millions of hunters need to have a place to hunt those animals. Some hunters use publicly accessible ground, but others want to have a piece of dirt they can call their own by either buying or leasing property. However, hunting leases can be difficult to lockdown. When it comes to good hunting property, many of those pieces of land are tied up in long term leases and that leaves fewer and/or less desirable properties available for lease. David Morris is the host of “Tecomate Whitetail Nation" on Outdoor Channel, Sundays at 2:00 p.m. ET and an expert in hunting property management and development. David joins The Revolution this week to discuss the how-to’s of using management to improve the quality of hunting on your lease. He’ll also talk about food plots, deer patterns and multi-use properties.
