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.
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.
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.
I’ve been reading quite a few articles lately of women who love hunting and the great outdoors being underestimated. I’ve also wrote briefly about this topic in a past article. I mentioned how I’ve received condescending comments due to my gender, my height and the way I look. It amazes me that female hunters are the fastest growing group and yet we still face so much injustice. People still don’t know what to think about us. Based on my experiences, hunting is still basically a good ol’ boys club, and women are trying to break into it.
Bear rugs and mounts can be incredible showstoppers, however field care from the moment that animal hits the ground is essential. Nobody wants a patchy, bald bear rug. Here are some factors to consider before your next bear hunt.
Happy Father’s Day y’all. What are you getting the fella in your life to celebrate and show your appreciation? Dad isn’t a complicated guy, he’ll probably be happy with almost anything. However, if he’s an outdoor lover, here are some ideas that will no doubt be a hit! Check it out.
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!
JP DeRose is the host of “Breaking Boundaries”, Tuesdays at 6:30 p.m. ET on World Fishing Network. He is a master of his craft and a bona fide fishing geek, which makes him the perfect guy to school us all! Listen in as he talks walleye, bass, water temperature and more.
With one of the best walleye seasons he can remember, JP has been smashing the walleye this spring on the Great Lakes. Producing the hot action for him, JP says that the most consistent bait has been a 3.8” Rhythm Wave swim bait on a jig head. While it’s nothing wild and new, swim baits can get it done. JP says he has been throwing them on a simple ¼ to 3/8 or ½ ounce, depending on water depth, open hook jig head and the fish have been destroying it. With clear water, he says that this bait is almost impossible to beat. When locating walleye, JP says that a couple of things will make walleye congregate, this first of which is bait.
The idea seems simple, the adventure seems amazing – travel 750 miles across the old York Factory Express by foot and boat in 28 days without fuel or GPS and win $500,000. Easy, right? Think again armchair adventurer! If you’ve been watching “The Brigade: Race to the Hudson” on Outdoor Channel then you know that this old fur trade route is far more challenging and unforgiving than meets the eye. The beauty of the country often masks its dangers. Joining us this week to talk about this incredible journey is Matt Aird, a contestant on “The Brigade: Race to the Hudson”, Mondays at 8:00 pm ET on Outdoor Channel.
If it has fins or fur, and can be tagged or bagged, this guy can cook it! Scott Leysath is “The Sporting Chef”, Sundays at 1:00 pm ET on Sportsman Channel. Scott is the go-to guy for properly preparing fish and game and he joins The Revolution this week to talk wild game burgers. Plus, he highlights an important effort to feed the nation’s hungry using wild game donated by outdoorsmen and women. Listen in!
