“We hunt record-class whitetails in the most severe deer hunting conditions in North America. And, the worse the weather gets, the better the hunting gets. Knowing that I have a Darkwoods Blind when Mother Nature makes it especially challenging and my hunt is on the line, makes all the difference.”

– Jim Shockey
World’s most Successful Muzzleloader Hunter

” Whether I am hunting big whitetails in Montana or turkeys in Tennessee, the Darkwoods Blinds are the most comfortable blinds I have ever hunted out of. At Shoot Straight TV, it is all about hunting together as a family. The Darkwoods Blinds are perfect for hunting and filming. There are plenty of windows to shoot out of and they are built tough.”

New Buck PakLiteTM Field Master, a Lightweight Kit

POST FALLS, IDAHO– Developed by hunters to provide other hunters with the essential field dressing kit they need, all in a specially designed versatile compact sheath, the PakLite Field Master kit is the newest lightweight addition to the Buck Knives broad line of hunting gear.

With a total weight of only 12 ounces, it’s like having three knives conveniently on your hip for the weight of only one. This new kit combines three skeletal Buck PakLite knives: a 3-1/2″ skinning blade, a 2-1/2″ modified caping blade and a 4″ independent guthook. All are made of Buck’s time-tested 420HC stainless steel, perfected in Buck’s unequaled heat-treat process to an ideal Rockwell hardness of 58 for optimal strength, edge retention, corrosion-resistance and hardness.

The unique sheath is heavy-duty nylon, with a retention strap to hold all three knives in place, and an adjustable belt strap on the back. It has two handy zippered storage pockets to keep your licenses and other necessities safe, secure and easily accessible. The sheath is kept firmly locked closed with a quick-release buckle.

As an important added feature, the liners for each knife can be removed for washing and disinfecting. The sheath itself can be washed in soap and water to clean and de-scent it for the next hunt. The complete Model 141 Buck PakLite Field Master set, made in the USA and backed by Buck’s Forever Warranty, has an MSRP of $85.

S4Gear Introduces FreeStyle720 Ground Blind Chair

Eugene, OR-Patent pending cam-over latch technology, 6061T6 aluminum, reinforced polymer construction and full deployment in less than 20 seconds only begins to describe the features packed into the Freestyle720 from S4Gear. Think this is like all the other lightweight ground blind chairs? Think again.

Engineered to make hunters more successful in the field, the Freestyle720′s large footprint/tri-pod design with a cantilevered seat allows the hunter to rotate a full 360° but also traverse a full 360°. This feature enables the hunter the silent mobility to efficiently and effectively traverse from window to window and make their shot-with proper form-from any angle while remaining in a seated position.

“We set out to design a ground blind chair that is not only comfortable and functional, but one that actually enhances the hunting experience,” states VP of product development, Dayne Lester, “The Freestyle720 is like nothing on the market and is truly going to change the way people hunt from a blind.”

The key to the silent rotation is the coaxial bearing system coupled with the cantilevered seat frame. The coaxial bearing distributes the cantilevered load between four lubricant infused polymeric bearings, allowing for smooth and silent rotation and translation for the life of the product.

Quick and silent leg extensions allow the seat to be leveled on most terrain. Oversized feet on the bottom of the tri-pod are designed for four-season versatility and stability on virtually any terrain. The automatic cam-over latches on the legs allow the hunter to deploy the system quietly and quickly-even in the dark.

The seat is constructed from closed cell molded foam with a nylon laminate for a silent and comfortable cushion that minimizes heat and sweat build up.

A collapsible chair back is also available for purchase. More information on the Freestyle720 can be found at www.S4Gear.com.

The simple 1-button design allows users to easily select between eight different combinations of HUNT and POINT modes, including an enhanced version of the popular ‘HAWK SCREAM’.

The beeper’s unique lower octave tone is easier to hear for those more experienced upland hunters. “Years of shooting can take a toll on the ears and I’m a good example!” joked Williams. “Our older customers asked for a beeper with a lower tone signal that can be heard over a greater distance.”

Tink’s Scrape Bomb Scrape Dripper

Keep your scrape fresh and active with Tink’s battery-free Scrape Bomb™ Scrape Dripper. The Scrape Bomb works with the changes in temperature and barometric pressure, which cause it to drip only during the daylight hours. This scheduling conditions bucks to visit the scrape during the day making them easier to pattern and eventually harvest.

The Scrape Bomb lasts four to five days dropping just the right amount of buck lure so none goes to waste making it economical as well as effective. Use the Scrape Dripper over natural or mock scrapes to condition deer to frequently return to your stand location.

The Scrape Dripper is available in a Power Scrape combo or a two pack, so you can set up a number of mock scrapes at one time.

Tink’s Magnetics™ Buck Attractant

Once a buck gets a whiff of Tink’s Magnetics™ Buck Attractant, there’s nothing left for him to do but follow his nose. As its name suggests, Magnetics Buck Attractant works like a magnet attracting bucks to your hunting location.

This synthetic blend, which contains compounds only a deer can smell, plays on a buck’s weaknesses and triggers his thirst for dominance, drive to reproduce and curiosity. Natural blends do not have this effect. The Magnetics scent adheres to everything it contacts for long-lasting scent dispersal. The lure’s powerful and unique formula will attract bucks throughout the entire hunting season.

The Magnetics Attractant comes in a 1 oz bottle or a 2 oz bottle with a squirt top. Use it with a Scent Bomb or Stretch Wick for best performance.

Sitka Gear’s Merino Line Excels in Comfort

The Key to Comfort and Odor Resistance Begins With the Merino Line

NAPA, CA. Sitka Gear, has introduced its latest line of high performance gear for the serious hunter, its Merino line. The benefits of Merino Wool have long been appreciated and used in high performance athletic wear and used in activities such as, running, hiking, skiing and cycling.

Since this material is naturally odor resistant, it is an ideal fit for hunting. Merino is also excellent at regulating body temperature, especially worn directly against the skin. The wool provides some warmth, without overheating the wearer and also wicks moisture making it comfortable against the skin.

The Merino line will have the following features:

• Wicks moisture away from skin
• High heat to weight ratio
• Natural lanolin provides anti-bacterial protection
• 100% Merino Wool
• Available in GORE® OPTIFADE® Concealment Open Country, Forest pattern, and Charcoal
• Available in sizes small to 3XL for Open Country or Forest and medium to 2XL for Charcoal

Items in the Merino line will include the Core Zip T, Core Bottom, Beanie and Liner Glove.

Suggested Retail Prices
• Core Zip T: $119 (Charcoal) $129 (Open Country or Forest)
• Core Bottom: $119 (Charcoal)
• Beanie: $29
• Liner Glove: $35 (medium to XL)

Sitka Gear’s top-quality products feature the most scientifically advanced visual concealment pattern ever to hit the market – GORE® OPTIFADE® Concealment, the first-ever concealment based on the science of animal vision. The unique micro-pattern considers the way a deer or other ungulate perceives color, the ratio of positive to negative space and other visual elements to create an effect that allows the hunter to blend with the animal’s perception of the environment. The macro-pattern breaks up the symmetry of the human body so that if a hunter is detected, the animal will not be able to identify the hunter as a predator.
