The best part about hunting is the freezer full of meat you have at the end of a successful hunt. The benefits of eating wild game are many, and the different ways that wild game meat can be prepared are endless. Tune in to The Revolution as Brian Tucker with Hi Mountain Seasonings drops by to talk about making wild game hot dogs, proper antelope field care and the best way to prepare mouthwatering pronghorn, a quick and easy way to add a nice smoky flavor to your game meats, plus DIY bacon making kits.
The number of concealed carry permits in the United States has been on an upward trend for several years now. Florida leads the nation with the highest number of concealed weapon permits at 2 million and Texas has the second highest number at about 1.5 million. In total, there are more than 17 million concealed carry permits issued nationwide. More people every day are taking personal responsibility for their own safety and the safety of their families by completing the courses and training necessary to carry concealed. Having a good holster is an essential foundational element of concealed carry and this week, Eric Rice, Operations and Sales Manager for Sticky Holsters, joins The Revolution to talk about what new concealed carry holders should look for in a holster.
What is a good holster supposed to do? Eric says that there are several things to look for.
Are you a hog hunter? Have you ever hunted abroad? There are so many unique hunting opportunities available around the globe with many hunters setting their sights on incredible big game adventures. While wild boars aren’t big, beautiful, awe-inspiring creatures, hunters shouldn’t be too quick to discount the challenge these hogs present in the field. Wild boar hunting has a serious following in Europe of hunters with unique and impressive skill sets. “Wild Boar Fever” on Outdoor Channel, now in its tenth season, follows these hunters as they take part in driven wild boar hunts which gives viewers an inside look at different hunting cultures and contrasts the differences between American hog hunting and European hog hunting.
What would you do if someone broke into your home in the middle of the night? Could you navigate an active shooter situation? What would you do if someone was threatening you or someone you love? It’s time to take your safety into your own hands and train like a pro. “Training Grounds”, hosted by William Browning and exclusively on Sportsman Channel, is bringing the pros to you. Listen in as William Browning joins us on The Revolution this week to talk about taking your self-defense training to the next level.
Millions of hunters across the country are watching bucks grow this summer. We’re scouting, getting trail camera photos and taking an inventory of bucks that will be on our hit list come this fall. By mid-August, antler growth will be almost complete and at that point hunters will be able to get a far better idea of what kind of headgear the bucks in their area will be sporting this fall and winter. While you wait for the bucks to start shedding that velvet, here are some interesting facts about antlers, antler growth and some factors that impact rack size. Check it out:
Millions of Americans will take a vacation this year. For many of the outdoor lovers out there, their idea of a perfect vacation would be one spent outdoors, in the woods, on the trails, at the dunes – anywhere outdoors making the most of nature and this country’s wild spaces. Steve Nessl, Yamaha Motorsports Group Marketing Manager, joins The Revolution this week to talk about an epic African hunting adventure he just wrapped up. Then he’ll walk us through ways that we can all realize our own outdoor adventures this summer, and anytime, with some help from Yamaha and their fantastic lineup of vehicles.
Last year, the Drury Outdoors team kicked off the fall hunting season with the release of their intuitive and innovative hunting app, DeerCast. The DeerCast app provides predictions of days with the best deer movement based on a variety of influencers. With more than 550,000+ downloads, I think it’s more than fair to say that it has been a hit. After a complete season, the Drury Outdoors team went back and made some tweaks and changes to further enhance the accuracy and effectiveness of the DeerCast app, plus they added some great new features that hunters will be excited about. This week on The Revolution, Terry Drury joins us to talk about the DeerCast app and the updated version that will roll out at the end of July. Listen in!
The dog days of summer are upon us and while CatDaddy of CatDaddy’s Catfishing Adventures has been hitting the bean hole a lot lately, now is also a great time to get in on some great action with limb lines, log lines, bank poles and trotlines. These various methods are both cost effective and something the whole family can do.
CatDaddy says the rivers are up high and holding steady and the fish are getting back on track. Because the rivers are so high, the water is up in the trees and the flatheads are in there feasting on bugs and critters. CatDaddy says catfishermen need to find wing eddies back behind log dams, anywhere near a fast current. In some cases, on the other side of the eddies the water will push and run the other direction and those are really hot spots, CatdDaddy says. It looks weird on the surface and probably feels weird for the fish too, he says, but they are there, and they are laying down in the backwards water.
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.
