by The Hunters Wife MyNature – Is your digital guide to animal tracks and wildlife in the palm of your hand for iphone or ipod 3.0 or higher. A couple of weeks ago Rick at Whitetail Woods wrote about MyNature and because I think it’s a great app, I thought I would write about it here as well. I loved to explain how it all works but it is much easier to watch the video. What a great tool to have when out in the field or spending a day out in the woods with your kids teaching them about nature. And if it was designed specifically for The Hunter’s Wife – I’d love for it to say… “Fresh bear track – you better hightail it out of there – NOW!” “And don’t climb a tree – bears climb trees.” Rumor has it that soon MyNature... [SEE MORE]

A few months ago, Rick Young of Rick Young Outdoors sent me one of his E-Z Open knives to review. It was after the hunting season, so I wasn’t sure that I would be able to use it until next spring. I did do some mountain lion hunting, but we never caught a good one. Things were looking bad for the review, but on our way to a Christmas party I got a badger. I decided that this would be a good enough test for the knife, plus I could make a cool hat for my kids. The E-Z Open knife was invented and field tested by professional hunter Rick Young. The E-Z Open Metolius is 9” long and made from 440A Stainless Steel with a firmly embedded composite ball for guiding the blade between the animal skin and muscle structure. By cutting from the... [SEE MORE]

Yeah, you’re gonna need to dry that gear out. Today’s Universal Fly Fishing Tip is one that most anglers know, but few actually follow through on. After a day or a week or fishing, make sure you dry out your gear well. Gear that gets stored wet gets nasty. Waders stink, rod socks mildew, flies rust and backing turns black. When you’re done with your fishing session, make sure you get all your gear dry. That means… Hang up your waders inside out so any sweaty condensation dries out. Go to the extra effort of pulling your stocking feet inside out – they’ll get really nasty otherwise. Take your rod socks of of their tubes and unroll them. Hang up your raincoat and take everything out of its pockets. Set out your wading boots. Open... [SEE MORE]

Simple is good. In lots of trout fishing situations, you don’t need a drag system that’s capable of stopping a locomotive. There, we said it! Slapping a mega-reel on a lightweight trout rod isn’t going to result in an outfit that’s well-balanced. And really, you don’t need all that technology most of the time. If you’re targeting trout that are less than gigantic, the drag on your reel really needs to do two things well. Engage easily and allow line to peel off the reel smoothly, protecting light tippets. Keep your reel from backlashing on a fast run. For small- to moderate-sized trout and lightweight rods, one of the reels that we think you should check out is the Sage Click. Here’s why we like Sage Click reels. They’re lightweight. They’re... [SEE MORE]

Skepticism. That word describes how I felt about this product when I got it in the mail. A fishing hook that you don’t tie onto your line? You just wrap your line around it a few times? Yeah, right. You’ve gotta be kidding. Well, I have to admit it… I was wrong. These things are cool! My family and I took these hooks and spent the summer fishing. From trout in the kids pond to sturgeon, these hooks fit the bill. Here’s my review: Ease of Use: Couldn’t get any easier. Now, I’ve got to say that I’m not going to introduce my kids to these hooks until they know how to tie “real” knots. There’s really no practical reason for this, but I just want my kids to know how to tie the knots.... [SEE MORE]

By CampWildGirls.com My biggest obstacle in bow hunting has been the fact that I don’t judge distance very well. Maybe it is the fact that I didn’t ever need to when rifle hunting in the woods of Wisconsin, or maybe it was that I was learning how far away things were, from other people that really couldn’t judge distance either. All I know is that it was hindering me from shooting my target. I started looking at rangefinders but it was hard to figure out what I needed. I really didn’t want one more thing to have to pick up and put back down to figure out how far away my target was. With two people in the stand while filming, we have more movement than we needed already. I tried “stepping off” certain spots, but if the deer didn’t... [SEE MORE]

I wanted to take a second to write a quick review about the Muck Boots I got from Hanks Clothing. I ordered the Muck Woody Max Cold Conditions Hunting Boot, and from the first time I put them on I knew that they were going to become my “old reliable” pair of boots. They were durable, good looking and best of all, they fit and were comfortable. They’re not going to work for chasing elk around, but for pretty much everything else I can’t think of a better “fit”. I’ve had slip on boots before and they were great for quick chores around the house, but not much else. That’s not the case with my new Muck Boots. They’re good for both work and play. I do wish I had gotten them 1/2 size smaller though... [SEE MORE]

A few months ago, T.Z. Case International (I knew them as @tzcase on Twitter) sent me a rifle case to review on this blog. When the case arrived my first impression was WOW!

OK, I’ve gotta admit that I was skeptical when Harold from Stedi-Stock contacted me a few months ago wanting me to do a product review. I had seen the product before on hunting shows and was pretty sure that it was just a gimmick. It took me a while to test the product and get this review written and I’m pretty sure that Harold had given up on me, but recently I got my chance to test it out. Last weekend I took the Stedi-Stock along on a family camping trip and was pleasantly surprised at its functionality. I wanted to really test it and figured that mounting a spotting scope on it was the ultimate test. Every hunter knows that hand-holding a spotting scope just doesn’t work. I strapped it on and set off on a hike with my... [SEE MORE]

Pineapple jerky!? That was my first thought when my husband brought it into the kitchen for all of us to try. However after tasting it I thought, yeah pineapple jerky. Our seven year old is so picky in his eating it is a constant struggle to feed him let alone feed him healthy foods. So after trying the pineapple jerky and getting two thumbs up from our son, and finding out they only contain honey I am excited to add it to our grocery list. Another thing that is huge on my list is knowing it is made in America, need I say more? Check out their site  Read More →
