Heat is the No. 1 enemy of wild game meat, so proper field care in warm weather is paramount.

Early season hunts offer a tremendous amount of opportunity for hunters; however, the accompanying warm weather can throw a wrench in the equation. The 80 and 90 degree days of September and early October can spell disaster for fresh game meat. What good is a hunt if the meat spoils before you get it out of the field? Warm temperatures may not be as much of a factor for hunters that live/hunt within close proximity to a facility where they can quickly cool and process their harvests, but when hunting the backcountry or other remote locations it’s often not a luxury the hunter has. So, hunters that are hours or even days away from the closest butcher or personal processing facility should go into their hunt with game meat saving tactics.

Keith Daffron, President of Vexus Boats, joins The Revolution this week to talk about their AVX series boats, with glass-infused aluminum hybrid design. Aluminum fishing boats are a big part of the overall fishing industry, Keith says. When they first started Vexus they had a different idea for the aluminum fishing boat and felt like they could take it more mainstream and to the competitive angler. From a design standpoint, they wanted to address some of the various nuisances that exist in aluminum boats. For instance, Keith says that storages are generally very wet noting that if it rains you might as well open the lid and let it rain in the box.
