Soon, A New Product review for you to read

Awhile ago I had come across a website for "Wildview Digital Scouting Camera's". I thought it looked like a real nice product and seeing as I have been without a trail cam for at least a couple of years I emailed the company in hopes of getting one to do as a product review. It had been awhile but I received a email the other day that my request was being forward to the proper department and a thankyou for my interest.

The next thing I knew ups was leaving a package at my door with a "Wildview Infrared Xtreme Digital Cam" inside Well it was quite obvious that I was really happy about the possibilities of getting deer in my area back on film. One slight little thing was missing and that was a manual on how to operate it. So, I sent an email requesting one and just as soon as I can I will be heading out to set it up. I should have more information for you then.

 How to Enhance your White Tail Deer Hunting Experience with Trophy Bucks

“6 Steps to Better Deer Hunting”

Ethics is an important consideration that should be followed and adhered to in all our day to day activities. Ethical conduct is a must at your work place and when you are out having your leisure time.  So why should you abandon your ethics when you are out hunting?
Following good ethics is absolutely essential when you are out trophy deer hunting. However, there are some people who do not adhere to ethical principles and take careless shots. They hardly have any respect for the animals and kill them inhumanely. Even though deer hunting involves the killing of the animals, it also serves as food for a lot of people. Thus there are millions of deer hunters out there who respect these animals while at the same the follow strong ethical principles, and stick to all the laid down rules, such as the ones that follow.

1.      When you are out deer hunting, never take a guess shot. You must positively identify your target, as well as, what's between you and the target, and what's behind the target. Always try to take a clean shot and avoid wounding the animal.

2.      You may be using a bow, a rifle, or a shotgun, but always ensure that you take the best, accurate aim possible at the vital area to kill the deer instantly, instead of making the animal suffer. Spend a lot of time learning about where the vitals are located and the angles that offer the best shot opportunites.

3.      The ability to take the perfect shot depends upon a hunter’s skills, the distance to the animal, positioning and also the weapon used. However, the skills of hunters vary from one to another. Inexperienced hunters should dedicate some of their time during the off season to upgrading their marksmanship skills. This would help them to take a clean shot during the hunting season. The most important goal in deer hunting is to ensure that you kill the animal cleanly and avoid wounding it.

4.      It is also very important that all hunters respect one another when they are out hunting in a group. Accidents may happen when a lot of people are moving about together trying to jump animals in thick cover. So going out with known people is helpful as they know each other’s level of skill and can plan out their individual strategy without interfering into each other’s space. It is essential to negate the chances of accidents and other mistakes that may happen by chance when out deer hunting.

5.      Following norms and ethical practices is a must when you are out trophy deer hunting or just even for hunting in general. A good hunter should be responsible for himself and will follow all the rules. He would also respect his fellow hunters and give them their space. A good hunter always stays focused on his objective and principle. Moreover, a good hunter will always voice his or her concern when a fellow hunter does not stick to the norms.

6.      Akin to any other sport, trophy deer hunting also requires the hunters to show respect and integrity towards the hunting sport. You should not enter into a land for hunting purposes that has “no hunting” or a “no trespassing” sign posted. Always seek permission from a land owner prior to hunting in a privately owned land (even if it's not posted). Flouting the norms can land you in legal trouble. The land owner can inform the local authorities and can charge you a hefty fine, and in the worst scenario, you yourself can get shot by a land owner for trespassing private property.

I do not like to be Pressured

I was going through a few of my things as I so often do and one of them was my gun cabinet (exact location unknown) and realized when I built it I hadn't planned on expanding the amount of guns I have. But the more I think about it the more I keep thinking of a special part of the Bill of Rights called the 2nd. ammendment. The Right to Keep and Bear Arms"

I have to say that there is some organizations that are out there that's main purpose is to protect and preserve these ammendments for us and our future children to enjoy. I would be the first if need be to say I agree but I would be the first to say I should not be expected to constantly contribute to the cause. I think we all know the group I am talking about I have to say I am tired of the phone calls asking me to join and I'm tired of retrieving this stuff from my mailbox asking me to join.

I once joined and before my first year membership was up I had been asked in one form or another 4 times and it was a huge turn off. 

If and when it comes down to the american people having to vote for something so important than as an american I will gladly vote, until that time all I can say is backoff and leave me alone. I use every single piece in my cabinet and already have plans to expand so I can add more

Savory Sunday's - Venison Roast

 It was a rainy dreary day and I had roast on the brain so here is another tasty recipe to try.

Venison Roast:

4-6 slices of bacon
1 tsp. Salt
One half tsp. pepper
1 quart meat stock or 1-2
   cups of Port Wine and water to
   make up a quart

garlic or garlic powder

Heat bacon grease and sear roast on all sides until very brown. Add medium diced onion, carrots, mushrooms and celery. Cook very slowly for about 3 hours (or until done). Blend vegetables to thicken sauce. Add Sherry.

Figuring an Archers Draw Length isn't all that Hard

I was browsing the newest Deer and Deer Hunting magazine last night and saw a article about determining your draw length for a proper fit to a bow. So I decided to look around on the net and found this info which corresponded with the D&DH article. I actually never knew about this way to do it so I thought I would see if anyone else did.

Measuring Your Draw Length

Unlike a traditional recurve bow that can be drawn back to virtually any length, a compound bow will draw back only a specific distance before it stops (the wall).  Compound bows are designed to be shot from the full-draw position.  If a compound bow is set for a 29" draw length, it should always be shot from the full 29" draw position.  But the bow cannot be over-drawn, say to 30" or 31", without modifying the setup on the bow.  So the draw length on your compound bow must be set to match your particular size.  When we setup your bow, we will adjust the bow for your precise draw length.

To measure your draw length, determine the length of your arm-span in inches.  Stand with your arms out and palms facing forward.  Don't stretch when measuring.  Just stand naturally.  Have someone else help you, and measure from the tip of one middle finger to the other.  Then simply divide that number by 2.5.  The quotient is your proper draw length (in inches) for your body size.

The majority of compound bow owners set their bows for too much draw length, which results in poor shooting form - inaccuracy - and painful string slap on the forearm.  You will better enjoy - and be more successful with your new bow when it is fitted properly to your body.  And REMEMBER!  If in doubt, choose a little LESS draw length rather than a little more.  If you are still unsure, or plan to shoot with a string loop, you may benefit from reading our Additional Discussion on Draw Length. 

If you are a person of average proportions, your arm-span will be roughly equal to your height (in inches).  So there is often a direct correlation between a person's height and their draw length as well.  Once you have computed your draw length using the method above, you can double-check yourself by using the scale below - to see if your number is within the expected range.

Building a Wooden Shooting Bench

I do know some of you might have the place for a hand built wooden shooting bench well I found this while browsing and thought it would come in handy for the one's that can use it. I know a good steady bench to shoot from can do nothing but help to accurately site in your guns.

I found this on ehow.com and it was submitted,

By Nathaniel Miller, eHow Contributor

 

Shooting is a lifetime sport that can be fun for the whole family. Whether you are shooting a big bore long range gun or a small caliber "plinking" gun, it is always easier to shoot from a bench. Shooting benches not only provide a place to take a rest but also a place to lay your gun, shells and accessories while you change targets or prepare for the next shot. Manufactured shooting benches exist; however, building your own wooden shooting bench is easy enough for any shooting enthusiast and will save you money, too.

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 4" x 4" posts Treated decking boards Post hole diggers or auger 3" wood screws Circular saw 2" x 4" lumber Quikrete

1. 
   
   Begin by determining the position of your shooting bench. You want to have a good, clear view of the target area, with backstops firmly in place and not be shooting in the direction of any dwellings or roads.
   
2. 
   
   Dig five holes with the auger or post hole diggers. You should have four corner holes and a single hole in the center, all of which are 3 feet deep. The sides of your rectangular hole formation should be 5 feet long, and the front and back ends should be 3 feet apart.
   
3. 
   
   Drop a six foot length of 4" x 4" treated lumber in each hole, use the level to determine squareness, and then pour 2 bags of Quikrete into each hole. Fill each hole with water from the garden hose and then shovel extra dirt from digging the holes in on top of the Quikrete and water. Allow all posts to cure (wait 24 hours).
   
4. 
   
   Cut the two rear 4" x 4" posts to a height of 24 inches and then connect them by screwing a 2" x 4" piece of lumber on either side of the posts. Lay a decking board on top of the 2" x 4" frame lengthwise and then screw down tight with the wood screws to form your seat.
   
5. 
   
   Connect the three remaining 4" x 4" posts with 2" x 4" lumber to form a triangle and then cut decking boards to length and screw them down with the wood screws to form a tabletop on which to rest your gun and ammo. The shooting bench is built into a triangle to allow either right- or left-hand shooters to get a rest off of the bench.
   

Tips & Warnings

• You can save money and skip building the seat if you want. Just bring a chair to sit in while shooting.
• Always wear gloves, ear protection and safety glasses when cutting and working with wood.

A North American Predator the Red Tailed Hawk

The other day I was on my way to the transfer station to get rid of our garbage and I was taking what I call the scenic route. It is really a nice ride and you are almost guaranteed to see something.

All of a sudden through the tree's swooped down this Red Tailed Hawk. I almost thought I was going to hit it. I am not sure what it was after but to see it that close with it's talons out (believe it or not) was quite the experience.

This is probably the most common hawk in North America. If you’ve got sharp eyes you’ll see several individuals on almost any long car ride, anywhere. Red-tailed Hawks soar above open fields, slowly turning circles on their broad, rounded wings. Other times you’ll see them atop telephone poles, eyes fixed on the ground to catch the movements of a vole or a rabbit, or simply waiting out cold weather before climbing a thermal updraft into the sky.

• Size & Shape

  Red-tailed Hawks are large hawks with typical Buteo proportions: very broad, rounded wings and a short, wide tail. Large females seen from a distance might fool you into thinking you’re seeing an eagle. (Until an actual eagle comes along.)
  

• Color Pattern

  Most Red-tailed Hawks are rich brown above and pale below, with a streaked belly and, on the wing underside, a dark bar between shoulder and wrist. The tail is usually pale below and cinnamon-red above, though in young birds it’s brown and banded. “Dark-phase” birds are all chocolate-brown with a warm red tail. “Rufous-phase” birds are reddish-brown on the chest with a dark belly.
  

5 Things to Keep in Mind When You Take Your Children Along For Hunting Trips

This is something that is important and that is take a youngster along hunting. If they are interested teach them and inspire them to continue the outdoor activities so it will be here way after we have gone.

By Becky Barrett

As a parent, seeing your child grow and learn various hobbies is very enjoyable. It gets more enjoyable when you find that that he or she is trying to learn your interests. So if you are interested in hunting, then you will love it if your children to find that interesting too. But there is something that you must know about taking children to hunting.

1. Hunting means guns and it is a dangerous thing if not handled carefully. So the first thing that you should do is to tell your children about the seriousness of the object. The presentation of a gun in the media often shows that it is a powerful object that gives power in a person's hand. So you must teach your children that handling a gun is an important responsible act.

2. Never allow them to play with guns. Any inquisitiveness and mystery surrounding the gun should be removed at the very beginning. Also, till they are young, they should not even be near guns without adult supervision. When they are under you supervision, you should act responsibly. Also make it a point that he or she never touches a gun without your presence and permission.

3. The next thing is to actually teach them how to use a gun and take care of it. This means teach him or her how to shoot. This should not only be done during hunting but before you start taking your kid on hunting sessions. Once your kid gets the basic right then he or she can accompany you. You can start your training with air rifles or pellet rifles instead of heavier guns.

4. Never allow a child to carry a loaded gun in the initial days. Allow it only after he or she is a bit older, and is acquainted with a gun and its power of destruction.

5. The last word is always keeping the child in close observation when going hunting. Teach him or her about the rules and etiquettes of hunting. Even if your kid loses interest during the hunt, make sure that he or she still pays full attention to his/her surrounding to avoid any kind of accidents.

5 Things You May Not Know About Scent Control During Hunting

Following the direction I am trying to go in for early season whitetail here is some valuable info for scent control and we all know how important that is when it comes to whitetail deer hunting.

By Becky Barrett

If you love hunting, then you may have all the necessary knowledge to taste success. If not, read on.
You may be aware that detecting any scent is the biggest line of defense for any wild creatures; it is said that they communicate through smell more than sight and sound to escape from the hands of the predators. Whether you plan to hunt a Black buck or Whitetail deer, as a hunter your biggest challenge is to trap the animals, as they can easily outwit you with their swiftness and intelligence. Keep certain important precautions in mind, and you can emerge as a winner.

1. Remember not to wear those clothes that you plan to wear for hunting beforehand, i.e. around the house, at work, etc. Keep them in an odor proof bag and also away from the smell of foods. Similarly, your shoes or boots that you are going to wear on deer hunting related trips should be kept aside, packed away separately.

2. Wind is yet another element that plays a vital role during hunting. So, set your tree stand at a favorable position in the prevailing wind direction. This will allow your smell to go undetected by the deer you intend to hunt. Once you are positioned on the stand, use a breath neutralizer mouth spray or a hunter chewing gum to eliminate any chance of human scent.

3. Once you have taken care of your "Body Odor," other additional camouflage for the same is your next concern. A hunter's biggest enemy is sweat. Use a good base layer spray to protect your body from this. Use non-threatening or neutral scents for hunting endeavors. Good options that you can try are earth scent or white acorn. In any deer hunting related expeditions, you can also use a paste from the tree leaves mixed with alcohol for coverage against any odor.

4. Before you go to your favorite food plot for hunting, make sure you wash your body and hair with an anti-bacterial soap and shampoo. Bacteria is the reason for our body odor, so eliminate the source to stop your deer from detecting your smell.

5. If you decide to go on a hunt, then stick to your veggies and grains. Aromatic foods like onions, asparagus, garlic which may become a hindrance for hunting.

5 Tips You Should Know For Early Season Deer Hunting

With archery season right around the corner for most of us I thought it would be a good idea to focus a little on the early season.

By Becky Barrett

To the deer hunters, summer is the early season for hunting deer. Late Fall is generally considered to be the deer hunting season. But early season deer hunting is lot more challenging and exciting, as it is really difficult to search for the deer under the bright, red sun. You may consider the following tips to become successful for early season deer hunting related trips.

1. First of all, you should take proper measures to tackle the heat and humid weather when you opt for early season deer hunting. If you are not comfortable, then you may lose the patience and even get sick in extreme temperatures. You must take adequate precautions so that you can fight with the unfriendly climate while you look for deer.

2. Beware of insects, when you go for hunting in early season. These little creatures will keep on disturbing you, and you might feel frustrated while you continue searching for your shoot. Not only that, some of the bugs could be poisonous to your health. So you should wear either bug-proof attire or use insect repellent in sufficient amounts.

3. Summer is the time when the deer normally come out of the forest to feed themselves in food plots. If you are new to the area, ask around for local people who can guide you in the most popular food plots. For even in the woods, you might search for deer around certain trees, whose fruits get ripened in the summer, such as wild berries, oak acorns etc.

4. Another important destination for the deer during the summer is the places near the sources of water. It is very natural that deer will get thirsty and prefer to graze near bodies of water - inside or near the woods. However, you should be cautious and careful, as these places could also be preferred by other animals and some of them might be dangerous for you!

5. Do not forget to pack plenty of water bottles when you are going for early season deer hunting trip. You are going to get thirsty within a few hours when you are out in the sun and moreover, excessive heat might dehydrate your body.

Reading Deer Tracks

Here is an interesting article about reading deer tracks that I thought would be helpful. Granted there is a little controversy about whether you can tell the sex by looking at a track. Some say you can and some say you can not. I say what's the difference as long as you put meat in the freezer. Either way it is a good article by Mr. Huffman.

Tip's for Reading Deer Tracks 

By: Greg W. Huffman

Hunting Whitetail deer is one of the most challenging outdoor sports.  Deer have a sixth sense and it helps them outsmart humans.  Deer are like magicians.  Now you see them - now you don't.  You can have the best hunting equipment on the market and if you don't do your pre-season homework - the deer will beat you.
Hunting deer has similarities to military planning.  Military strategy requires that you do a reconnaissance of an area to see what type of activity goes on there.  Deer hunting requires the same strategy.  You have to find out if deer are actually inhabiting the area you plan to hunt.

Part of pre-season deer hunting preparation involves looking for deer signs.  One of the most important signs that deer leave behind is their hoof prints.  What can deer tracks tell you.  Well, there's a lot of things deer tracks can tell you.  Let's see what you can learn from something as simple as a deer track.

Deer Track Tips:

You can tell the sex of a deer by looking at a deer track.  Deer tracks look as if you hold your pointer and middle fingers together and gently pushed them into mud.  Female deer, or "doe", tracks are typically smaller and gap between the hoof print is narrow.  The depth of the print will vary depending on travel speed and ground conditions.  Deeper tracks could imply that the deer landed there after jumping over something.  If you are following consistent deep tracks, it could be a buck, due to a male deer typically being heavier than it's female counterpart.  Buck prints will also show a larger gap in the middle of the hoof print.

Deer tracks show where the deer are heading or where they've been.  Deer tracks will also help you find their predators.  Predatory animals will follow deer tracks for the same reason humans do.  This can be seen easily after a snow fall or along creek beds.

Deer tracks will also tell you how many deer are hanging out in the herd.  Why follow one set of tracks when you can follow 10 or 12 sets of tracks running on top of each other?

Knowing how to read deer tracks will help you become a better hunter.  To be successful in the woods, you better figure the deer out or your freezer will remain void of venison.

In Our Thoughts!

I just heard a little while ago from Sara at "Red Pine Mountain" that her mom is not doing very well and is really sick so I am asking if you all could just put her in your thoughts for a minute. 

I was suppose to meet Sara and Carl this weekend until I heard about her mom and told her by all means spend as much time as you need. I didn't do that with my dad and I regret it to this day.

So Sara if there is anything that I can do just name it, you have my number.

I hope these will help and brighten your day.

Velvet 8 Point Buck early

Monday night I got a call from my older boy saying he had just found a Buck that got hit and it had an 8 point rack still in velvet and that he took the antlers off it. It was late and I was still at work so he brought them by the next day for me. These are pretty cool and the closest I had ever been to velvet covered antlers.

The buck they came off of was no good do to the heat and everything so I did not take it sad to say but it does happen.

Question is I know these have to be preserved some how but I don't have a clue so I am gonna contact a taxidermist to ask what to do.

I got a return call last night from John Navan of Homestead Taxidermy in Woodstock and he said the best thing to do if I wasn't in a hurry was to place them in a freezer for about 6 months or I could pay him $150.00 to preserve them. I opted to go the freezer route.

Oh ya, this guy came out of the general area that I will be muzzleloader hunting in this fall, darn it.

Hello all,   When news of the Fly Fishing World Championships came into our newsletter and fly fishing media outlets, the first thing we recreational anglers wanted to find out was what technique they were using. The technique of choice became obvious since every contestant, no matter what their country of origin, was using the Czech nymphing system in some form or another.  Now 10ft rods are being manufactured in the lower line weights and weighted flies are widely available.  The folks that have tried it are impressed enough that 2010 is going to be the year of the 10ft. 4wt. rod according to our sales data.   If you would like to learn more about Czech nymphing, we have Rob Kolanda offering a class on the subject on September 26th.  Stay tuned for our next newsletter when we announce the time and place for this class.   Thanks for your business and hope to see you.
