Product Information & Facts Ask any hunter how important good, effective camouflage is to the success of any hunt and the reply will be unanimous. Camouflage is absolutely essential! The only problem was, little thought had ever been given to one of the most important aspects of effective camouflage. The eyes, may indeed be ‘The windows to the soul’, but for the hunter they present three other, major problems. 1. Man is a predator and like all predators our eyes are positioned in the front of the head as opposed to the side of the head placement of prey animals. This placement allows us to focus and gauge depth but also makes us an easily recognizable threat. 2. Man is the only animal, besides the moose, in the woods with whites in our eyes. Again, this is easily detected, making man an easily recognizable threat to prey game. 3. Although a hunter is capable of remaining still, the eyes are constantly moving. In fact, we move our eyes more than any other part of our body. CAMOVISION™ Eye Wear solves these problems by expertly hiding the eyes behind a camouflaged lens. The wearer can see out, but nothing can see in. The result is total, complete, effective camouflage.

When I rear back on this kid it sets the bait like nothing I've ever seen before. I'm not just setting the hook I'm planting it for next year. There are a lot of big bass out there that will testify to that. The best part of all is the tip is as loose as my buddies sister. All three of my fishing partners are talking about getting one for them selves. They've watched me catch some of the biggest fish they've ever saw with this rod. BPS doesn't offer them in a heavier weight than the Medium action. Big mistake on their part. I guess other fisherman out there just don't catch the size of fish I do. The guys down in the yard said I should be fishing for a living. I guess it's just a gift I have. It's well made, I'll probably get a good year out of it before it gives in. Most rods I've owned give in after half a season just from some of the fights they have to go through. I do good with any rod I have. I'm sure this one helps a little. You just have to know how to land them. A few nights back I caught one that would have broken most rods. Some of the guys who were congratulating me said it was one of the biggest they ever saw. I told them I'd say it was middle of the road. 3 Eric E. Rivers Edge Deluxe Action Ladder Stand Tree Stands I bought the unit off of Discount Hunting Supplies.com just a few months back. I'm pshyced for this upcoming season although it's not coming fast enough. This is my first ladder stand and although it won't move as easily as a portable, it's not permanent like a home made job. I can't tell you how many times I've built a permanent stand only wishing I had moved a few feet this way, or that way. The unit it self seems very well constructed and don't let me forget that padded seat if you know what I mean. Since I've been moving mine quite a bit during scouting missions it gets pretty heavy after a while. I'm drenched in sweat every time I have to move it. So far that's the only thing I don't like about it. It has some flex to it which scared me at first so I gave it a good workout by doing my best to flex it, but it held strong. It's a nice little unit at a price that's tough to beat. I may just upgrade in a couple of years to one of those deluxe jobs, but for the time being this is great for me. 5 Standing Tall Shakespeare Ugly Stik Fishing Rods My Son found this one by the river we fish. It's in almost new condition. I took it off his hands one day and never looked back. I've been using an Ugly Stik since the early 90's. These things are incredible. I do a lot of Carp fishing and if you've ever caught a big you know they are putting up a fight. I never miss a night of fishing in the Summer months and these things stand up to the use and abuse better than any I've had before. What happened to the old cork handles they had years ago. These foam handles are on everything these days. All they do is collect grease and smell. Other than that handle there this one seems really well made. I just couldn't resist the other night after getting a snag I just about bent it in half just to see what it would do and it held stronger than a pitbull. I don't know a lot about other rods and reels anymore, but these are really tough rods that will stand up to about anything. Buy something for you and you'll never be sorry. 5 Willy Sr. Moultrie Game Cam 2 Game Camera Trail Cameras I was about to buy one of the real good game cameras when I spotted this in a Wal-mart ad. I decided why buy one of them when I can buy four of these and cover many of the hot spots on the farm I hunt. I saw them online at Wal-Mart for $98.00 just the other day. It has an infrared device triggered by heat that allows it to take pictures at night. The best part about that is it puts the time on the picture so if old boy is visiting the scrape before day light I won't waste my time on him. Hopefully one of the other cameras will catch him at a scraped during daylight hours. There is also an adjustable delay time between pictures which I have set for it's fastest setting. Their not the clearest pictures in the world, but they definitely get their point across. I was chewing up film like mad and am now buying the cheapest I can get and the pictures aren't much different at all. I think it's sealed pretty well and with the rain we recently had in Kansas none of the moisture got in. The housing or cage is made out of indestructible plastic so that's one less thing to worry about. I feel like I got three for the price of one. You wouldn't believe some of the pictures I've got. The best thing about them is I belong to a Sportsman's lodge and now when I tell my stories I can just reach in my pocket and show anyone who doesn't believe. 4 Al V. Ottawa, KS Coleman Hot Water on Demand Camping Appliances This is one of the best devices ever invented. We've been out twice with it now and it makes all the difference in my Girlfriends eyes on camping. The facility we stay at has water it just takes 20 minutes to get it up to luke warm and that's about as good as it gets from there. I spotted it on the Coleman site and she insisted we have it before she went out again. A month later and I couldn't live without it. The Coleman truly does everything as advertized all off the propane tank. There's no more waiting for the water to somewhat boil. Before you turn around it's starting to pum put hot water. She can have her hot chocolate and I can wolf down a healthy breakfast of Oddles of Noodles. The battery on the pump is rechargeable which is also good for the bucket. Too bad they don't make propane rechargeable. The only think that disappointed me was the accessories don't come with it. They should at least throw in the standard campsite hose fitting. If you're spending $179 what's a few more bills to get the machine perfect. I live camping and always trust Coleman. If they make it, I probably have it, or have it on my wish list. This item is no different-well made and will stay in good shape given reasonable care. Great item to add to your arsenal, meals don't take as long as before this invention. I love the outdoors, although don't always want to have to rough it. This little item helps bridge the gap between the two. Now if they'd only make a portable satellite dish so I could get all the games on Saturday and Sunday. I'm sure someone is already working on it !! Great site, keep adding the camping gear and I'll be a regular. 4 Bill McCullough MN |
