It’s a race to the bottom! The water temperatures are beginning to rise, and the catfishing action is top notch. CatDaddy, fishing guide at CatDaddy’s Catfishin’ Adventures in Kansas, joins The Revolution this week with spring specific tips for coaxing big cats to swallow your hook!
Catfish are cavity spawners that look for banks, hollow logs, washouts, boulders or any other structure they can get in or under. CatDaddy says he targets those kinds of areas and looks for brush piles, stumps, tree bottoms, cutout bends on banks and more as they are all good places to catch catfish. With temperatures rising and the onset of spawning coming soon, locating these areas can help anglers find productive hotspots for the next month or two to come.
Recently I read an article about all the mistakes men make when taking women hunting. For me, some of the points the article mentioned were accurate, while others couldn’t be further from the truth. Everyone is different, so what I believe and feel could be and probably will be completely different than what someone else feels and believes. As a female hunter, I don’t think I deserve special treatment when I go hunting. Here are a few of the topics mentioned that stuck out to me the most.
“We had the best plans in place in terms of hitting a mile marker or where we wanted to get to. You’ll see that those plans didn’t always come to fruition, that’s for sure. Mother Nature has a remarkable way of putting obstacles in front of you.” – Carley Julien, “The Brigade”
What could you contribute on an epic wilderness expedition? Do you have adequate survival and outdoor living skills? Could you stay mentally strong, even thru tough terrain and rough waters? “The Brigade – Race to the Hudson” does exactly that, this intense new show premiering April 22 at 8:00 pm ET on Outdoor Channel, puts 10 complete strangers together and tasks them with traveling 750-miles across the York Factory Express route in just 28 days. If they are able to complete that adventure in time, there is a prize waiting at the end.
David Morris is a kingpin in the whitetail world. He is the founder of Tecomate and co-host of “Tecomate Whitetail Nation” airing Sundays at 2:00 pm ET on Outdoor Channel. David has had years of experience managing properties with tremendous success and he joins The Revolution this week with advice for small acreage managers.
The Drury Outdoor team has become well known in the whitetail world for their successful management practices that produce incredible deer year after year. They are hands on and work carefully on each aspect of their properties to make them more attractive for wildlife and effective for hunting. Their farms are the envy of hunters across the country. Terry Drury, co-host of Bow Madness and Drury’s THIRTEEN, joins us to talk all things management this week.
Should you carry concealed every day? Of course! Where legal, it is a right and privilege you should exercise regularly! I’ve heard it said that, “It is better to be a warrior in a garden, than to be a gardener in a war”. Chew on that for a minute. The Second Amendment provides the constitutional right of the people to keep and bear Arms, a guiding principle that our Founding Fathers carefully implemented in 1791 and it has positively shaped and protected our society ever since. Contrary to some misled opinions, being an avid supporter of the Second Amendment and concealed carry doesn’t make you a vigilante or paranoid. A pro 2A stance also doesn't mean you are disgruntled or confrontational. It means you value life, the safety of yourself and others around you and you are lawfully carrying to potentially stop a violent crime that may be perpetrated. Carrying is insurance, nothing more, nothing less.
“I just loved every one of the challenges “The Brigade” brought with it. It was one of the best outdoor experiences of my life.” – Don Mann
Some serious adventure is about to hit Outdoor Channel! “The Brigade – Race to the Hudson” is an all-new show, premiering April 22 at 8:00 pm ET, where 10 contestants have 28 days to travel 750 miles across the York Factory Express. Are you intrigued yet, I know we are! The 10-member team has to push themselves to the extreme, together, to conquer this grueling cross-country wilderness expedition. If they succeed, a $500,000 grand prize will await them. This 750-mile journey follows the York Factory Express, an historic fur trade route and they’ll be doing it the same way the old timers did – on foot and in boats. No fuel, no GPS, all they have is their collective skill set to survive, navigate and hopefully get across the finish line. This is an adventure of a lifetime!
As of 2017 there were roughly 324,000,000 citizens in the United States and only 620,000 full-time law enforcement officers/agents. If you crunch those numbers they equate to roughly 1 officer for every 484 people. God Bless the men and women who work in law enforcement to keep this country safe on a daily basis, however there just aren’t enough officers to prevent every instance of crime. That’s why everyday carry is so important, it gives we the people the ability to protect ourselves when police can’t intervene first.
Gary Klein is a professional bass angler and founder of “Major League Fishing” that airs Saturdays at 2:00 pm ET on Outdoor Channel. Gary joins The Revolution this week to talk all things bass fishing and Major League Fishing so listen in!
Have you patterned your turkey shotgun yet? Some hunters may say, “It worked just fine last season, so why should I bother?” Good question! Are you absolutely sure that your shotgun shoots straight? Do you know for certain that the pattern you are sending down range is dense enough to knock down the bird, not too tight or too scattered? Will you be shooting a new/different load than you did last season? There are a lot of factors that can affect your pattern, it’s essential to get to the range before you hit the field.
