‘Tis the Season!

November 8, 2007

November is usually the start of my hunting season down in Zone 12, and I couldn’t be more excited! In honor of my favorite time of year, I wanted to post some of the best Hunting Gear that I have found & would love to have one day. Posting it on our blog is a super easy way for me to keep track of it! If you are interested in hunting gear, this post is right up your alley.

So, number 1 on my list…

1. CAMO! If they see you, you wont see them!

Ghil-Leaf™ Series

This is the most effective camo ever! I’m amazed. The idea comes from snipers who use the Ghillie Suit in military operations. The leaves on the suit are maple leaf shaped and colored Mossy Oak® New Break-Up™ or Seclusion 3D® print. The leaves are made up of 100% polyester, so it is SUPER quiet. This is a relatively light weight suit that lets you hunt in warmer weather or add layers for the cooler temperature hunts. Another

lightweight, Leafy-Tee Series is pictured on the right & the Scent-Lok® Bowhunter Xtreme™ Ghil-Leaf™ Jacket and Pants is below. The Scent-Lok® version has an added layer that prevents human scent from escaping the clothing! Truly amazing technology!

So what is the cost?

My favorite is the Bowhunter Xtreme™!

#2. Under Armor! Add Layers without adding Thickness!
is a revolutionary material that wicks moisture away from the body while circulating body heat. Coldgear also features ArmourBlock™, an antimicrobial scent-control system embedded in the fabric. Coldgear can keep you warm and dry but not weighted down by all those extra layers! I used some of this type of material for the first time last year! The shirt I used was not this advanced, but I only had on a Coldgear type of layer, a camo T-shirt & a long sleeve camo shirt. I was more than comfortable on the stand in the cold fall and winter hunts.

They also have which is a product used in the warmer months, when you still need that camo under layer so you can shed clothing on the stand without losing your concealment!

Under Armor features a ton of accessories that keep you cool or warm & wicks away the moisture & keeps you comoflauged!

The Cost (I’ve highlighted my favorites):

#3. 2 Way Radios!

This waterproof 2 way radio has it all! NOAA Weather Alerts, Five Animal Call Alerts, Five Alternative Non-Animal Alerts, 26 (Unobstructed) Mile Range, 3 Power Settings, 22 Channels, 142 Privacy Codes, Direct Call Functionality (call 1 member of the party with out alerting the rest) & More! The package comes with Two Radios, Two Headsets, Dual Desk Charger with AC Adapter, DC Vehicle Adapter, & Rechargeable Battery Packs.

My favorite parts: the head sets! You can talk into someone’s ear without alerting the deer right in front of you!

The Cost?

On , it is just $99.99.

There is some discussion about the range. The 26 mile range is in perfect conditions on a flat, insight area. The actual range for wooded area is more like 1 mile out of sight. An urban area can get 5 – 6 miles. It would be worthy of a test.

MORE HUNTING GEAR TO COME! Guns, Knives, Stands, Bows, Arrows, Feeders, Food Plots, & more!
Check back with this post in a week or so.

In the future, I’ll be looking into a Garmin hand held GPS that enables us to see exactly where I am & map routes around the property! This is INCREDIBLY useful! I’ll post about that on a “tech toys” post.

See you soon.
