BLM, ELK HUNTING SUCCESS FOR OUTDOOR CHEF KURT !!!
I Love to hunt Elk. I got to hunt this last season ,with my brother Billy ,who I call{ The Elk Whisperer.} He always seems to know where the Elk are at and this year I decided to stick to him like glue ,and it did not take long. By 10 am on opening morning ,my brother Billy had found us a herd of resting Rocky Mountain Bull Elk. We got a good rest and I shot a 3 by 5 bull, and my brother planted a smaller bull, a nice spike ,DIT, dead in it"s tracks. After the elk were back in camp ,skinned and hanging ,it was a perfect night to let them cool out ,and we put them in quarter bags early the next morning ,and then it was time to enjoy the rest of the hunt with food and drink. The rest of the crew harvested 4 more nice elk over the next 4 days and it was a great time in 2013 Elk Camp For All !!!!!!
THE MANY SIGHTS OF THE 2014 SHOT SHOW !!!!!!!!!!!! FOR OUTDOOR CHEF KURT
The SHOT SHOW is by far the best Outdoor Industry Show, I have ever attended. I love the SCI Show,and have attended dozens, of local Outdoor Industry Shows over the years, but this one is special to me, because it is a very International show, attended by people in the industry, from over 100 countries. As I walked the show, I heard people talking in many different languages. I love the Media Room , and find it a great place to network ,with all kinds of people from the outdoor industry from many different countries,and areas, of the industry. Writers, Professional Hunters, TV Shows, Cameramen, Magazines , Books ,Social Media ,and many more, are represented there, in the Press Room. All communicating, done in many different ways, by this group of very talented people, help keep the public informed ,honestly ,about what is really happening out there ,and will keep this Outdoor Industry very strong for the long haul.

FLAMBEAU BREEDING FLOCK TURKEY DECOYS
| |||||||||
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful
This review is from: Flambeau Turkey Master Series Breeding Flock Decoy (Sports)
Flambeau hit the jackpot with these turkey decoys. They make a great product ,with value and dependability. This breeding flock has a Jake, a Hen, and a Feeding Hen. I really like the way they set up in the turkey woods.The way they are painted on the heads, and the foam bodies, is very life like. I almost fooled myself. The plastic mounting sticks ,are made of quality material to last for long time usage. They fit inside the foam decoys heads, to hold them properly in place . They wiggle in the wind, to look more lifelike. I set up my stand, and decoys in a place I thought might work, and started calling. I give these decoys a very high recommendation for realistic looks , ease of set up, and quality materials. Pros//They are very life like. Decoys set up fast ,when you are in a hurry. The wind moves them for a more realistic look . Cons// When you open the box for the first time in the woods,which is my mistake and laziness. They are tightly wrapped ,so it takes a few minutes in the sun, for the foam bodies to get to their realistic shape. I suggest you set them up at home first, so they are ready to put up, when you hear that first gobble back, from an interested Tom. Other than my mistake, I find these decoys to be very effective, realistic, and made to perform and last for a long time in the woods. I hope this review is informative and helpful.

This review is from: MOJO Double Trouble E Call (Sports)
I was very excited to get the chance to test and review this new Mojo Double trouble electronic game call .I spent some time in bear country in Alaska this last summer ,so I had a chance to try it out, to call in a Black Bear. This call has so many features ,I was amazed at how user friendly it was, for someone electronically challenged like me. The motorized decoy ,on the top of the unit ,swirls and moves like a live animal.The extension legs on the unit git it up off of the ground,for better sound and visibility. It also has a threaded hole like a camera to put the unit up on a tripod ,for even more range of sound. A port for external charger and external; speaker are also on the unit. The control panel ,has soft push buttons with a plastic coating on them to keep the water out. I used this unit in some pretty wet, windy, weather ,with out any problems. The control panel is back lit ,to see what track you have it on. The remote unit ,has a nice weatherproof cover on it ,with soft touch buttons, and a range of 250 yards , so you can get away from call ,and get set up for the kill ,a ways away . The unit comes with 99 different calls ,for any type of predator animal ,you are hunting for. There a several more features like hot buttons ,for those special hot, go to calls ,and external programming from Mojo software. I had great success calling in several types of predators ,including Coyote, Bobcat , Crows, Bald Eagles and even a glimpse of a Black Bear ,that ran right by the call ,at high speed. I give this call a very high recommendation , for ease of use ,versatility, and overall performance,in the field. Pros /// Moving decoy on top of unit. Speaker puts out great realistic sound.High volume from speaker works great to get the sound out to the critters. 250 yard remote lets you and your scent, be a long ways away from the call., for better hunting successes. Cons/ none except I called in a big Tom Cougar that sneaked in behind me, and when I heard it growl, and snarl it scared me to death ,as I felt like I was the hunted, instead of the hunter. This call worked great for me ,and performed with out flaws. I hope this review helps viewers to make an informed buying decision. { FISHGRILLER APPROVED } |
