Let’s talk custom rifles! Back by popular demand, it’s Derrick Ratliff, President and Founder of Horizon Firearms. If you aren’t familiar with Horizon Firearms, they create custom long-range rifles that are tailor-made to reflect not only your shooting needs but also your own personal style with custom finishes. This week Derrick will talk about the 22 Creedmoor and address some listener comments and questions surrounding this caliber.
There’s never a bad time to get outdoors and explore. There are 610 million acres of public land across the country and more than 100 million outdoor adventure seekers that look to those lands for a place to recreate. Public access is such an important issue as it affects the ability of citizens to get out and enjoy the outdoors in their individual pursuits of riding, camping, hunting, fishing and other outdoor activities. Yamaha has spent the last decade supporting access with their Yamaha Outdoor Access Initiative where they have awarded more than $3.5 million in funding to help improve access for safe and sustainable recreational use. Steve Nessl, Yamaha’s ATV and Side-by-Side Group Marketing Manager, joins The Revolution this week to talk about the extensive efforts that Yamaha is putting forward to help benefit all outdoorsmen and women.
Most coyote hunters hang up their gear, put away their calls and put predator hunting on the back burner until late fall. However, if your goal is to manage coyotes to the benefit of other wildlife, then spring and summer hunting is a critical time to do so. This is the point in time when fawns, poults, and other prey animals tend to be the most vulnerable. However, this is also a vulnerable moment for coyotes, as well.
Every driver is different. Are you a city guy, country bum, rancher or off-roader? The demands of a vehicle are unique to the driver and regardless of whether your tires spend more time on dirt or pavement, one thing is certain, protection is universal. Everyone can benefit from the extra protection that accessories like grille guards and bumpers provide.
"Think of what hens do. Think of what turkeys do, and just take a second to slow it down if you're dealing with a pressured situation. Just use your woodsmanship, use your calling techniques, and use your ability to think like a turkey to be as real as you can, and I think it helps with success even on pressured turkeys." – Nate Hosie
I am lucky enough to live off of the beaten path, 20+ miles outside the nearest town surrounded by dirt roads, pastures and ag fields. As a result, I'm well aware of the fact that I share these rural roads and countryside with wildlife and have to be very vigilant when driving. Living out here, you need a vehicle that is multifunctional, an everyday driver and hunting rig, all in one. To achieve that goal, modest modifications are all that’s needed on your current truck. Slap a good set of ten ply tires on it, a DECKED box in the bed, some WeatherTech mats underfoot, and a kick butt grille guard from Ranch Hand up front and your vehicle is dirt road, hunting rig, ready.
There is nothing wrong with factory built, straight out of the box rifles – heck, our gun cabinet is stocked full of them. However, there is something to be said for either customizing an existing rifle to better suit your needs or getting a complete custom rifle where you can hand pick every detail. After all, no one hunter is the same. We don’t all pursue the same game animals, in the same terrain, under the same conditions. A custom rifle, or customizing an existing rifle, can really help a hunter dial in on their specific needs.
Raise your hand if you love to grill! WE DO! This week on The Revolution we’re bringing you the expertise of a grilling pro from the iconic grill brand, Weber, to help you elevate your outdoor cooking game. Kevin Kolman holds the title of Weber Grill Master. You don’t earn the designation of “master” of anything without some legitimate skills and credentials to back it up. Kevin’s resume ranges from the Weber Grill Academy, to co-instructing a Barbecue Science course at The Ohio State University and attending Camp Brisket at Texas A&M. He teaches around the world, is a certified Kansas City Barbecue Judge and so much more. All of his experiences have made him one of the most credible sources of BBQ.
Spring is on its way boys and girls! It has been a long cold spell and if you are just as anxious as we are for the mercury to start rising, then it’s time to start preparing your wardrobe for it. As you may well know, as avid outdoorsmen and women, we have long been fans of CINCH Jeans. CINCH makes western apparel – jeans, shirts, boots and much more – that are designed to hold up to a very active, outdoor lifestyle. Jeans that don’t wear out easily and can handle a dust up with tree bark as you climb up to your treestand, boots that can withstand the elements and keep you comfortable even if you’re stalking game for miles on end, shirts that keep you cool in the heat of the summer, and even boxers that will make your skivvies the talk of the laundry room! It’s only natural that we share our love of this brand with you, fellow outdoor enthusiasts!

I found an old duffle bag in the bottom of my closet the other day.
It was buried under a mound of shoes and old clothing, and it had been there for over seven years. It was a “bug out” bag that we forgot about after moving into the home.
