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.

"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
