Bring on the Fall and bring on the hunting gear!!!

Who doesn’t love new gear?  Any chance I get, if it makes sense (and even sometimes if it doesn’t!), I love to make sure I’m loaded with improved gear just to give me that little edge or a bit more confidence while in the field.  This year over the course of the last couple months I’ve had the chance to trial a few items that I’ve never carried in the to field before.  So far they haven’t disappointed.  Continue Reading…

Since none of us would be here without a father, I figure I’d do all those fathers out there a solid and give you some gift ideas to make his Father’s Day one he’ll really appreciate.  Fortunately for you I started this project a little early so I can make some educated suggestions.  The following are products I’ve used and tested and would love if my kids get any of them for me.  Continue Reading…

Hunting seasons are in full swing with gift giving season just around the corner. I’ve compiled a list of various items sure to make any hunter happy this Christmas.

As the Fall hunting seasons get underway I hope everyone is having great luck and making some lasting memories.  Over the last year I’ve had the opportunity to try out some great gear.  I thought it would be beneficial to provide you with some suggestions as the Christmas season approaches and you start thinking about giving (or recieving!) some sweet outdoor gear!  As I’ve sampled all the gear in this article I have first hand experience with their capabilities, features, and functions.   You won’t go wrong with any of the following recommendations.

I Put the YETI 105 to the Test During This Year’s Deer Season.

I’ve found over the years as I travel more for my hunts that I’ve always got a need for a cooler.  By definition the fact I’m going hunting means I’m looking to bring some food home.  Food in most cases needs to be kept cool and clean.  What better way than an air tight, permafrost insulated, rotomolded cooler?  My thoughts exactly.  With this in mind I started the 2020 deer season with high hopes to test out the YETI Tundra 105 and YETI Ice.

Once again Sitka proved why they are one of the top performance hunting clothing manufactures in the country.

As I sit here on the cusp of winter I thought it would be good to get a review out on some items that may just make your late season hunt bearable.  On top of their outstanding clothing lines Sitka offers a couple other items that I really wanted to try out and see if they could be difference makers.  So I procured a Ballistic Beanie, Incinerator Muff, and Neck Gaiter for my late season whitetail hunts here in the Midwest.

Review: Gerber Knives

Gerber has an extensive line of blades and tools for the outdoorsman, hunter, and fisher. After trialing several models I was very impressed.

For years I’ve carried a Gerber shovel and axe in the tool box on my truck “just in case”.  When I was training and hunting with my bird dog years ago I grabbed a set of Gerber game shears that I still use to this day.  I’ve always known about Gerber knives but until recently I really hadn’t had much exposure to them.  Continue Reading…

Gift Guide

One of the greatest blessings that have been bestowed upon me are my three wonderful children.  They are currently paying me so far forward that I may never realize how much better of a man I am because of them.  But let’s face it, I’m human so I want some instant gratification.  What better way for them to thank me for being their dad than with some wicked awesome hunting and outdoor gifts.  It just so happens I have a few things in mind.  So kids, if you’re reading this, don’t be shy when it comes to letting your dear old dad know how much you appreciate him!!!

The Ascent Series in Subalpine Works Great for a Variety of Destinations and Game.  Photo Taken in Michigan.

It’s hot in Texas…but I didn’t let that stop me from hunting this summer.  Being blessed to have year round opportunities to chase game I didn’t want to miss any chances I might get.  With that, I needed something that I could wear to keep me concealed but also not cause me to melt into a puddle of sweaty mess.  Talking with a Sitka representative he recommended giving the Ascent Series a shot.   Continue Reading…
