Autumn is officially here, we're losing more daylight each day, the weather is cooling and these factors are triggering a transition in the water. Say goodbye to your warm water fishing tactics and get ready to change your approach to catching fish as the fish themselves transition to fall patterns.
CatDaddy is a seasoned catfishing guide from Kansas who has decades of experience helping eager anglers find and hook up with flatheads, channel cats and blue cats. In order to be a good guide, one has to know and understand how to target fish through every month of the year. That's why CatDaddy joins The Revolution this week - to talk fall catfishing strategies and prepare hopeful anglers with the transition tips they need to hook into cats.
How much time do you spend hunting every year?
Roger Raglin went on his first whitetail hunt at age 15 and although he didn't see anything in the woods that day, it kick started a passion that he turned into a career. Since then, Roger has spent more than 50 years chasing whitetails and has logged 100,000-plus hours of hunting deer. That kind of experience can't be bought, only earned. However, a lot can be learned from Roger through his show "Roger Raglin Outdoors" on Outdoor Channel, Sundays at 2:00 p.m. ET. He joins The Revolution this week to talk early season whitetail hunting, the October lull, youth hunting and much more.
While you've been holed up at home for months, wearing masks and generally avoiding public spaces, Scott Leysath has been on the road driving around small town America. It's in these rural areas that he finds the most unusual cuisine he can and the people that cook it. Scott then brings these unique cultural and cuisine experiences to viewers everywhere with his show "Dead Meat" airing Saturdays at 2:00 p.m. ET on Sportsman Channel. An all-new season of "Dead Meat" is set to debut in October and Scott joins The Revolution this week to talk about some of the interesting things he encountered this time around.
How will you be using the meat that finds its way into your freezer this hunting season?

Call him the "High Plains Drifter" because CatDaddy the Kansas Cat Man is on the water with the wind at his back. While it's technically still summer, a recent cold wave blew through the Midwest and has things feeling a lot more like fall. CatDaddy says now is the time to let the wind do the work for you and to try some drifting.
The odds of a DIY elk hunter filling their tag are a low 1 in 10. It's a tough and very physical hunt and it's that challenge that attracts so many hunters to the West each year. Scouting, skill and good equipment are crucial in the quest to tag a big bull. Dean Capuano, host of "Swarovski Optik Quests" on Outdoor Channel, joins The Revolution this week to talk elk hunting and optics. Listen in!
Although 2020 has created some very serious challenges, one positive take-away has been the influx of outdoor participation. Statistics show that many people have picked up fishing in their off time as a way of getting out of the house and into the outdoors. Many of these anglers are brand new to the sport, and others are returning anglers that have picked up fishing again after a hiatus. For these new anglers, having a solid source of information to turn to is important. In-Fisherman magazine has been around since 1975 and still today acts as a leading resource for freshwater fishing information for anglers of all skill levels. Thomas Allen is the Digital Content Manager for In-Fisherman and he joins The Revolution this week to talk about the growth of fishing, introducing new people to the sport, panfishing, catfishing and more.
What is the best catfish for eating? While monster catfish are fun to lip, they don't make the best meal. Instead, small catfish with nice, white, smooth flesh hit all the right marks for the dinner table. In search of these dinner quality cats, CatDaddy is drifting the river, searching for big brush piles that accumulate around bridge pilings. It's in these areas that he is pulling in two to five pound baby blues that just can't be beat.
The American dream, especially that of outdoor lovers, is to own their own chunk of ground. Some people want to relocate and live on that property, others want to use it for recreation, while some want strict hunting only properties. Every buyer is different, however, what most buyers have in common is the initial sticker shock that comes with looking at purchasing property. In fact, the amount of zeros behind that asking price can often be enough for people to think land ownership is not an option for them. However, it's more affordable and achievable than most people realize.
Deer, more specifically whitetail deer, are the nation's most popular big game animal. Millions of Americans pound the dirt each fall in their personal pursuit of filling tags, freezers and trophy walls. For hunters, deer season is an extended holiday that's worthy of celebrating. Lucky for those hunters, Outdoor Channel and Sportsman Channel recognize this unofficial holiday each year with #DeerWeek, a primetime programming event that features wall to wall deer hunting action for a week straight. In its fourth year now, the #DeerWeek event will kick off September 14th and run through September 20th, starting each night at 7:00 pm ET to Midnight. Hosting this year's #DeerWeek event will be country music star Tyler Farr, alongside Jeff Danker of "BuckVentures".
