We certainly need to get out and take more pictures to have a little better photo of the days.  And hopefully I'll have trail cam pictures of elk and deer to post soon but here is one of Josh scouting a couple of weeks ago.  Josh started wearing all First Lite clothing this year and this gave him a chance to test out the Chama Hoody.  Also shown in the picture is the Minox BL 15x56's.

Photo of they Day 9

It is truly amazing the things a person will do to get pictures of elk and deer.  Hiked about 1500 vertical down to put up a Minox Trail camera over a water hole.  Going down wasn't too bad but the hike back out was a little rough! Oh well, a great excuse to test out my new Sitka Mountain pants and Traverse hoody.  Plus is was a good get in better shape hike to get ready for season.  Now I just have to get back in there to check that camera some time. "What was I thinking?"

Photo of the Day 8

Reaching back into the archives a few months, this is a picture of Josh and Kate on a turkey hunt in Kansas.  It was a lot of fun to watch Kate take her first animal ever.  On top of that, Josh was able to test out some of the new gear we have in the store.  Shown in the picture is the new Bowtech Insanity, and a full set of clothes from First Lite.  Pretty awesome day.  To see the video of this hunt click here!

Just a little Robin Hood action with the Bowtech Insanity and Easton Flatlines.  Nothing like breaking arrows in the 10 ring at 330 fps.

Photo of the Day 6

This is a picture from a turkey hunt this spring.  Tyler and Josh went out and found a bunch of turkeys just unfortunately could not get on them.  Regardless, it was a good chance to test out some of the gear we carry in the store.  Shown in the picture tyler is using the Eberlestock X1A1 and the Sitka Traverse Zip T.  The badlands hat looks pretty good too.

Photo of the Day 5

We happened to see quite a few moose when we were up on a hike the other day.  Got pretty close to this cow and calf.  Made sure I stayed far enough away not to get charged.  Fun to see them up close though.

Photo of the Day 4

This is just one shot from another day of scouting.  Josh is getting use of the Minox BL 15x56's as well as the old trusty Badlands pack.  You'll see a lot of use out of those binoculars throughout the year!

This is just a random picture of Josh and I heading up to do some summer scouting.  We did happen to find some great elk and deer but those will be shown in another photo of the day posting.  Felt good to get a bunch of miles under our belt and see some new country.  Season is close!
