    When you put something in a safety deposit box, you want to be sure it is safe and secure, insured and that you can be sure of what's inside every time you open it. As a bow hunter, I want the same thing for my gear, especially my bow. SKB Cases makes the safety deposit box of bow cases and I was fortunate enough to field test the SKB ATA Parallel Limb Bow Case.

    Do you remember when you started using a peep-sight on your bow? I remember it very vividly. At the time, using a peep-sight was a new gimmick. Little did we know that the 'gimmick' was going to aid in our focus and help us bring down more animals by improving our shot placement.

    Vuvuzelas. I don't think there's anything more annoying than those things. If you don't know what they are, Google it. Black flies and mosquitos buzzing in your ears and biting you while you are hunting can be just as annoying, a bit more painful and have more of a health risk. I am not a huge fan of spraying down with bug spray before or when I hit the woods. It can get smelly, wear off and may not cover all areas. What do I use? When I hit the woods I bring my trusty ThermaCELL mosquito repellent.

    Gadgets, gadgets and more gadgets! I love gadgets and things that make my life easier. I am constantly striving to find good products for me and my fellow bowhunters that will make life easier  in the long run. Time is valuable and I want to have more time to hunt and less time working on my gear. For years I have been fletching and re-fletching my own arrows with a single-arrow fletching jig. It has been time consuming, mediocre and sloppy.

    When I first moved to California I had a very difficult time finding areas to hunt. I was also intimidated by the maps that you can buy at the local sporting goods stores. They cover a very large range and it's difficult to find specific locations to scout, let alone hunt. I am not sure how I found out about MapCard, but it has proven to be one of the best tools for my trip planning in the past year. It is limited to only the United States, so if you are traveling abroad you'll have to find different maps.

    One of the items I love having in my gear bag is my Scott Archery release. I have used a release for many years now and I remember back to the day when my dad bought me my very first one. It was a Tru-Fire release that I used for many years before recently sharing it with a new archer. He needed one and it still worked well even after a decade of use.

    This is one of my favorite hunts. There are a lot of opportunities to see good numbers of deer, there is a ton of public access, and if you time it just right and hit the rut, you will see some great bucks.

    The rut normally falls during last two weeks in December thru the first 2 week in January. Keep in mind that if you hunt December and January during one single hunt you will need two different tags, because it will be two different years.

    Greg Krogh is well know amongst all off us Mule Deer and Elk Hunters. For those of you that dont know him, I would consider him one of the greatest hunters in the West as he guides some of the greatest hunters in the West, one of which is Randy Ulmer. Yes, he is a guide and this is a DIY site, but we can all learn from his vast knowledge of locating and taking Trophy animals.

    Not only is he a guide but he offers scouting packages as well in Arizona and Nevada. He could be of great assistance to the DIY'er that doesnt have too much time for scouting.

    Product Review: Gerber Axle 2x3™ Headlamp

     

    Having available light in the woods is a must, especially if you hunt early morning or late into the evening. Enter the new Gerber Axle 2x3™ headlamp.
