Deer HuntingDeer Hunting – Whether you still hunt, stand hunt, or stalk this is the place to share your deer hunting adventures. Be sure to show everyone your trophies and the stories behind them. Deer hunting is a popular sport among a lot of members.
These are my new toy's for this years rifle season.
Part 1 is my ground blind and UV/LED headlamp. The Strongbuilt ground blind is actually designed for waterfowlers, but most deer hunting blinds are designed way too big with bowhunters in mind. I have been looking for several years for what I wanted, I think I have found it in this blind. The headlamp is more of a whim. I want to find out for myself how UV helps or not in tracking blood. I have heard both "it works great!" to "totally useless!". Now I'll find out for myself.
The doe decoy may help get big boy into range with a little help from Tink's #69 and a little doe bleet calling. The turkey decoys, both the regular and the "bob-in head" hen decoys, are hopefully going to make big boy feel safe coming out into the field before dark to get to doe decoy.
The next 3 items are just little add ons I wanted.
One is a scent pouch to hold my scents that hopefully will keep them from smelling the truck up, LOL.
The gut hooks will fit my razor knife, just an idea I want to try.
I wanted to get rid of the "can" I use for squirting powder into the air to test wind currents, so the last pic is a different approach.
The last one is my new custom knife from Dunn's Custom Knife Works in Kansas.
Not a very good Pic, but any bigger would not download. You can see it better on their website, if you want. It's the Pelter knife. http://www.dunnknives.com/prod04.htm
