Realtree Camo

Realtree camo came out with a new camo pattern this year called Realtree Xtra! It is meant for deer hunting in tree stands mainly but it would probably work for duck hunting too. They had a good camo pattern called Realtree AP (all purpose) but I guess they thought that one wasn't very good any more. I really like this new camo because it looks like it can work any where and it looks cool! I have been wanting to get a Scent Lok jacket and pants suit for bow hunting for bow hunting and now that Xtra is out I think I will get one. Under Armour also has some cool new stuff that is Realtree Xtra. There is also a Realtree Xtra Green that could be used during early bow season or turkey season. It is pretty much the same thing as Realtree Xtra but is has a little green in it, but I am color blind so I wouldn't really be able to tell the difference between them! I think they will be a big success for people who deer, turkey, or even waterfowl hunt!!!

Hunting Boots

There are a lot of different kinds of hunting boots on the market for people to but. Some are rubber, some are neoprene, and some are made of rubber and neoprene combined together. There are also a lot of different kinds of camo patterns that boots can come in. My favorite two favorite kinds of boots are Muck and Lacrosse boots. Muck boots are really comfortable and are extremely light. They are made of half rubber and the top half is neoprene. Lacrosse boots are tough and reliable so they will last for years. I have had both and I have good and bad things to say about both. I had a pair of Field Blazer Muck boots and they were great for a couple of years but after a while they lost their comfort and they stared to fall apart. I also had a pair of Lacrosse boots and they were really tough but they were kind of heavy were too warm to wear during early bow season. But both of the boots were pretty good!!    

Layout Blinds

Layout blinds can be useful during waterfowl hunting in a lot of situations. They are easily hid in any landscape, fold able, and they can fit on you r back! There are many diffident brands that make layout blinds and all of them would probably be pretty good. I have one from Rogers Sporting Goods called the Goose-buster. It is really roomy and its pretty light to carry on my back. I have also heard that Green Head Gear makes some good layout blinds. They also make snow covers and gillie suits for about every layout blind there is. Having a regular duck blind is good but layout blinds will be your best option for hiding if you have to walk a long way to your hunting spot. I am planning on buying a few more layout binds in the future just because they are so awesome!!
 

Savage Axis

This weekend I bought a Savage Axis rifle for deer hunting. I got it in 308 caliber so it will put a deer down! I it is extremely light but it kicks a lot, but I don't really mind recoil that much. It even looks really cool, which  is also a bonus. I got it in black, but it took me a while to find a black Axis because most of the gun stores around here only have it in camo. It came with a Bushnell scope but I so don't think it is a very good one so I am going to buy a Nikon one pretty soon. Overall it is a pretty awesome gun!!



Here is a 308 bullet compared to a 223 bullet.
