“It’s going to be a hell of a good year fishing!” - CatDaddy
The weather has kept a good portion of the country on their toes this spring with rain, snow, tornadoes and heavy flooding. The flooding in particular has crippled many communities and for fisherman, it has created a brand-new habitat to explore. CatDaddy is the guide and owner of CatDaddy’s Catfishin’ Adventures.
White-tailed deer may be the most hunted big game animal in North America, however the west and the big game hunting opportunities there within may be the most coveted of all. Mule deer, pronghorns, elk, bighorn sheep, mountain goats, moose, bear and more – there is no shortage of game to chase out west and it’s likely that one or more of those hunts sit at the top of almost every hunter’s bucket list. However, I think it’s probably reasonable to say that elk, in particular, are the most sought after.
In March, bass angler Ott DeFoe walked away from the Bassmaster Classic on the Tennessee River with a three-day total weight of 49-3, just enough to help him secure the Championship and the $300,000 prize. He’s experienced a tremendous amount of success on the tournament trail over the years with more than 50 career Top 10s and $2,000,000+ in career winnings. His success is a result of hard work and his ability to read the water and the fish. This week, Ott joins The Revolution with tips that average anglers can use to channel DeFoe style success on the water.
Pull the cover off your grill. Summer is almost here and there is no better time to enjoy outdoor cooking than right now! If you are a grilling and barbecue junkie like me, you live for smoked meats and grill marks. Lucky for all of us, we’re in the presence of greatness. Kevin Kolman, Weber Grill Master, is joining us on The Revolution today to break down how to grill great fish without burning it, drying it out, or watching it crumble through the grates. He’ll also talk smoke and what you need to know before you go throwing anything directly onto your pit. Listen up!
Snow, rain and flooding – this spring hasn’t been short on moisture. As a result, in many places rivers are busting at the seams and lakes are high. With water levels constantly on the move, it can be a challenge for fishermen and women to readjust their strategies and find the fish. CatDaddy, owner and guide at CatDaddy’s Catfishin’ Adventures in Kansas, says he is contending with high water daily, but when you find them the fishing bite is hot. He’s been guiding for decades, but many of his local haunts and tactics have gone out the window and instead he has adopted a more tactical approach to catching catfish.
As if there weren’t enough reasons to hate spiders, here is one more. Did you know that ticks are actually arachnids? Yuck.
The disdain for spiders, insects and all kinds of creepy crawlies has existed probably since the beginning of time. And while some may think your fear of spiders makes you a pansy, the truth is that your fear can actually be justified. One bite of a tick can change your life.
You can neutralize this pesky outdoor threat so you can recreate outdoors safely, but first you have to know the basics of awareness and prevention.
Although I love the mobility of spot and stalk hunting and the elevated perspective of hunting from a treestand, sometimes it’s hard to beat a good ol’ ground blind.
Obviously one of the biggest benefits is the concealment of movement. Being shielded behind the walls of a blind allow you to make small movements that you may not otherwise be able to get away with under the prying eyes of wildlife. Ground blinds also provide a weather barrier helping you stay dry in wet conditions, act as somewhat of a wind break on blustery days, provide shade in the intense sun and more. They accommodate hunters of any age or physical ability. Ground blinds are great for kids that you don’t want climbing up 20 feet above the ground, for those that may not physically be able to spot and stalk or scale a tree and for those who just like to keep their feet firmly planted on the ground. They offer a level of comfort that may not be available in a tree stand. You can bring along the chair of your choice that is comfortable for long sits, a cooler for snacks, a space heater for cold days, a gun or bow rest, as well as other gear. Plus, if you are hunting on private property and trust the security of your blind you can leave all you gear behind instead of carrying it in and out every time you hunt. Furthermore, using a pop-up ground blind gives you great mobility, you aren’t tied to just one location. They allow you to move your blind to the most productive locations quickly and with ease. There is a lot to love about ground blinds. Let’s set one up!

This week he joins The Revolution to talk EHD in whitetails and balanced food sources for healthy deer.
In many places across the country it has been a wet spring. Heavy rainfall and flooding have the ground saturated and hunters biding their time to get food plots in. Lee Lakosky, co-host of “Crush with Lee & Tiffany” on Outdoor Channel, Sundays at 7:30 pm ET, says they are getting a bit of a delayed start as well as they wait for the right conditions to get corn and beans in the ground. Tune in to The Revolution this week as Lee Lakosky stops by to offer his expertise on food plots, improving natural forage, habitat management, timber management and more.
