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.
The vehicle you drive says a lot about you. Do people choose their vehicles based on personal and professional needs? Of course. However, if we were all able to pick our dream ride, it would most likely be a physical representation of our personalities, and practicality would go out the door. For instance, my 5 year old son would most likely choose a bulldozer as his daily driver. Practical or safe? Absolutely not.
Mary O'Neill Phillips is an Aussie with a love of country music and the outdoors. She is co-host of the Country Outdoors Podcast, alongside Mitch Petrie, and she joins The Revolution this week to talk turkey hunting, the 2020 Country Outdoors Turkey Tour, the country music genre and the outdoorsmen and women within it and much more! Listen in.
While whitetail deer are the most popular game animal to hunt in the United States, turkeys also command the attention of millions of hunters. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service estimates that 21 percent of all U.S. hunters, that’s 2.5 million hunters, chase gobblers each year. That’s enough to make turkeys the second most sought after game species. Because turkeys are so widely spread across the country it makes them incredibly accessible to virtually everyone.
