HECS Stealth Screen

The HECS Stealth Screen makes a lot of sense and offers a unique way to avoid detection. More than a scent cover up this company and product helps you to stay undetected by combining 3 simple scientific principles: *All living things emit a faint electric signal. * Science has proven that some animals have the ability to detect these signals. *A conductive grid known as a 'Faraday Cage' can block these signals. HECS effectively creates a 'Faraday Cage'. Take a look at this video.


E-Z Drag

 

E-Z Drag are some of the most useful pieces of gear that a hunter could have in his backpack. If you have to drag your critters, and what successful hunter doesn’t? Then this piece of gear is for you. Check out this video.


Fire Bug Lights

Fire Bug Lights will help you to get in and out of the woods during low light or no light conditions. These little LED lights come 6 to a pack and can be clipped on a tree, post or branch; providing you with a well lit trail.


Scout Look and its Deer Log App should be your greatest tool this hunting season. Scout Look helps you be prepared for all of your outdoor adventures by providing you with the most accurate weather information available. The information that ScoutLook apps offers; is geocoded to be relevant to you and your activities.


The PackNet

Pack Net. Whenever you go backpacking, how often do you need extra room for bows, rifles, fishing equipment, a jacket, rain gear, antler sheds and quartered game? PackNet is the most unique and well designed backpacking accessory on the market. Whether you're a backpacker, hunter or day hiker, you should have a PackNet with you.


Horn Hunter

Horn Hunter Packs are designed for the Extreme Hunter. The unique features, of these packs will allow you to carry your gear to wherever the beast's are, and then will haul it out, once you've got it on the ground.


Limbsaver

LIMBSAVER DeadZone Bows are lightweight, smooth and accurate. We're looking forward to hunting with the DZ this fall. And if it performs as well in the field as it has on the 3D targets....we'll have meat in the freezer!


First Lite

First Lite Merino wool products will keep you warm when its cold, wicks moisture away from your skin, controls odor, doesn't reflect light, is whisper quiet and is just plain comfortable to wear. For 2012, the owners of First Lite have designed some of the best gear that a serious outdoorsman will need. The focus at First Lite is to bring you a highly functional, technical product with a great look and style. I think they've done it.


Solokao Fast Fire Kits should be in the pack of anyone who is going out. These kits generate a sustained 1300 degrees in seconds, burns when wet, ignites from a spark or flame, and is wind resistant.


Diablo

Diablo Paddle Sports
These boats are perfect for recreational paddling, kayak fishing and will also make for a purdy good duck hunting boat. I recently tested this boat and found it to be stable, managable and fun. The chair seat accessory will give you hours of comfort in your own blind and its stable enough that you can stand up for those second shots.


 

Xtreme Sites are made for bow hunters by bow hunters. Since I started shooting with these sites I've improved my shooting accuracy. I can tell from where my groups are that my chances to put critters on the ground this fall has increased. The design, weight, and fillement is what makes the difference.


 

Covert Cameras are what I endorse. Take a look at this product video.


Road Warrior Sport Trailer

Road Warrior Trailer was the premier Gear Hauler at the recent Summer Outdoor Retail Show. These trailers can be wrapped and customized in camoflauge patterns that can make it the perfect hunting partner for this falls hunting trips. All of your decoys, blinds, wadders etc can be stored and transported. The Road Warrior Sports Atlas 8 sport trailer is a multi-function cargo solution.
