Trey Pique is the owner of VooDoo Fishing Charters out of Venice, Louisiana and the host of “VooDoo Crew” on Outdoor Channel. He joins The Revolution this week to talk yellowfin tuna fishing.
Trey says the tuna fishing off the Louisiana coast is great year-round and provides opportunities for sportsmen and women to experience deep sea tuna fishing in any season. Yellowfin, blackfin and the occasional bigeye tuna – Trey says at VooDoo Fishing Charters they catch it all. Using primarily live bait and chum they catch fresh every morning, Trey says they draw fish up from depths of 100 to 300 feet to the surface. Once hooked, yellowfin tuna are hard fighting fish. Trey recounts the biggest yellowfin tuna they’ve ever landed on a boat at VooDoo Fishing Charters and it weighed in at 230 pounds. That monster took them more than 1 ½ hours to land on heavy tackle and gear, putting up a formidable fight.

He’ll talk heat, pressure, nocturnal bucks, recovering your animal and the Tecomate Management System.
It all comes down to land. There isn’t a piece of gear, or anything else you can purchase, that will directly contribute to your hunting success more than owning your own land, says Dan Perez.
Dan Perez is the CEO of Whitetail Properties, a Broker, the host of “Whitetail Properties” on Sportsman Channel, Sundays at 10:00 a.m. ET and a land specialist. He joins The Revolution this week to highlight the benefits of owning your own hunting property.

Hunters have spent all spring and summer getting food plots in, getting trail cameras up, setting up blinds and stands, working on habitat improvement, scouting and more. Now, with fall hunting seasons upon us, it’s time to see if all that hard work will pay off. Randy Birdsong, co-host of “HeadHunters TV” on Outdoor Channel, Thursdays at 7:30 p.m. ET says that he is a hands on property manager throughout the summer months, however with fall upon us he is ready to head west to kick off his hunting season.
CatDaddy isn’t a bait snob, he’ll throw anything that works. Changing up the bait you are offering just may be the key to entice more hot weather bites. Don’t hold back CatDaddy says, whatever it takes, whatever you have, sling it out there and give it a try. If you don’t have a bite happening, then change things up and try something different. CatDaddy says he has been hitting the sweet spot on bluecats with a different bait than he generally uses – catalpa worms.
Aging whitetail bucks on the hoof is all about the body. You aren’t looking at rack size and trying to determine if your buck is a Booner. Instead, you’re trying to determine age and maturity with as much accuracy as possible. While looking at rack size can provide subtle clues, aging based on rack size alone isn’t reliable. The best way to age deer on the hoof is to take cues from defining body characteristics and that will help you determine age class. Consider some of these basic guidelines:
The idea of hunting “smarter not harder” isn’t a new concept, and that wisdom is especially helpful for physically demanding western hunts. Let your eyes be your legs! Dean Capuano, host of “Swarovski Optik Quests” on Outdoor Channel, says having good optics can help hunters maximize their time and energy. A good spotting scope, he says, enables a hunter to glass and spot animals that are miles away, determine their size, and from there decide if they want to pursue that animal - all without leaving their glassing location.
