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.
