Short Season Trailer 2

Jeff Simpson and the guys at Sitka Gear are working together to put together a short season of hunting videos.

Most of these look like that are with the Sitka Gear athletes around the country. I am sure these videos are going to be amazing like everything that Sitka Gear and Simpson creative put together.

Hunting the Alps

For something a little different Blazer Rifles takes us to the Alps for a Red Stag Mountain hunt.

Some of the shots in this video are simply amazing and of course its some great mountain hunting.

I don't know about the rifle shot over and over but a very cool video with some great camera work and editing regardless. 

Sitka Gear Sheep Video

Well luckily it's video release season to get us ready for this fall.

Hope everyone's scouting is going well, I am starting to see some pics roll in.

Just to help stoke the fire the Foss crew with Sitka Gear takes us on a Very cool desert sheep hunt.

 Also during this video you can see some of the new 2013 Sitka Gear in action.

I can't think of a cooler hunt then walking down the beach after chasing huge desert rams.
 

G5 T3 Expandables Entry Hole

One of the most commen questions we get in the shop is, "What broad head do you use?" For the last 2 season both myself and Josh have been using the T3 expandable by G5. The main reason is the huge amount of damage that this broadhead does and how accurately it is down range.

My favorite example of this is my 2012 Colorado Mule Deer. I took this deer at 60yards which is a range I am a lot more comfortable with when using expandables but also the size of the entry and exit holes on this deer are amazing but very typical with the results I have seen on other animal with these broadheads.

Shed Hunting

I was lucky enough to pick up a matching set of 5x5 sheds last week when we were up bear hunting.

Archery Turkey Shot Placement

Turkey Shot Placement

 
One of the most common questions we receive during this time of year is shot placement for turkeys with archery gear. This is a pretty good video going over shot placement.

And if you were wondering if you could use Sitka Gear's Optifade Open Country Pattern during spring turkey this is a picture we took last year right before I closed the deal on a big Kansas Tom.

One Snowy Day in Febuary, We got invited on a Lion Hunt!!

We were lucky enough to get invited along on a Mountain Lion hunt by our friend James. Here are a couple of photos from the day.

 

 A little fresh snow and a coffee stop a great way to start the day.

 Driving in

 

 Elk always a good sign when the animals are up and moving.

 

 It doesn't get much better than sunrise on a cold morning.

 

Time to get the Girls Ready

 

 Ready to go!

 Guess who is the Puppy? All legs and paws

 Bowtech Insanity, Sitka Gear and Badlands pack at work.

 Sitka gear in the middle of winter? Yeah that works!

 The one thing that nobody tells you when you are looking for a lion track is, when you want a lion track everything looks like a lion track but the truth is nothing really looks like a lion track except a lion track.

 Well we weren't able cut any fresh tracks that day but we sure had a great time and saw some amazing country.

Minox DTC 500 Trail Camera Pics

Just a few pictures from the over a thousand that our Minox DTC 500 Trail Camera took overlooking an eastern CO waterhole for the last few months.

 Great dawn and dusk low light performance.

 Lots of Dogs out there on the prairie.

 Yep that's a Bird in flight. Hows that for image quality.

 The Coyotes look like they spent plenty of time harassing the Antelope during the winter.

 Bird Missile!

So many doggies!

Also just as a little heads up we are going to be having a huge Minox sale starting next week including trail cameras.

Tomorrow I will post what items we are going to have.
