Glassing Properly is the Key to Success in Western Big Game Hunting

Sworovski hunting binoculars

by David Pereda You can’t kill what you can’t see. Period. It’s not going to happen. Let’s take a look at my personal battery of Big Game Hunting optics and tripods and why I choose them. Swarovski optics are number one on my list for binoculars. From freezing rain and snow, to blowing sand and 115 degree heat, these fantastic optics … [Read more...]

MyNature – Animal Track App

Animal Tracks

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 … [Read more...]

Gerber E-Z Open Knife – Product Review

hunting knife

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 … [Read more...]

Sage Click Reels – Product Review

Sage Click Reel

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 … [Read more...]

Tying Fishing Knots Just Got Easier

Spring 09 057

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 … [Read more...]

Muck Boots Get a Thumbs Up!

thumbs-up

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 … [Read more...]

Rifle Case – Product Review

rifle case

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! I just expected a regular old rifle case. I didn't expect it to look cool and have a giraffe textured finish! T.Z. Case isn't just your run-of-the-mill start up Internet store. … [Read more...]

Bow Camera Mount – Product Review

insanearchery

Brian Piltz, owner of Insane Archery, sent me a gadget that allows a camera to be set up on any bow figuring it would be useful for us as we film our hunts. If he only knew how useful! Last year there were several times we came back from hunts thinking, “if only we could have a camera that could catch exactly what the hunter sees!” Thanks to … [Read more...]

Stedi-Stock – Product Review

Steady stock

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 … [Read more...]
