Blood Vanes Review

Arrow fletching can be a nightmare at times.  Trying to get everything lined up correctly and trying to get the right spin on your arrow can make for some long nights at the range.  I was introduced to Blood Vanes this summer and I have to say, I am pleasantly surprised by how much better my arrows fly.

Blood vanes are a simple product produced by Outter Limits Archery.  The one piece design slides over your arrow shaft and is easily tunable with your broad heads.  One you line up the fletching with your broad heads, Blood Vanes have three tiny holes to place glue into.  Let the glue set and you are ready.  I dabbed a bit of crazy glue onto each hole and was ready to shoot in about 20 minutes. 

Arrow flight:  Blood vanes are designed for for arrow flight since they are slightly angled.  This helps your arrows gain faster stability once shot and improve accuracy at longer distances.

The materials used are a bit sturdier than other fletching I’ve used in the past.  This means longer life out of your fletchings. 

When you are looking at what fletching to use this coming season, check out Blood Vanes From Outter Limits Archer.  Simple, Fast, and Accurate

August Book Of The Month: Barebow

Bowhunting is a spiritual adventure. Dennis Dunn, the first man to complete the Super Slam of North American Big Game Animals shooting bare bow, meaning no sights-wrote a book about his lifetime of bowhunting adventures after completing the Super Slam in 2004.   Like a master bower crafts the limb of  a new bow with detail and emotion, so has Dunn shaped and crafted each page with the same painstaking attention to detail and emotion required to create  a masterpiece.  This book is downright poetic.

Each turn of the page left my mind cringing in anticipation.  From a writing standpoint, each page was artfully crafted with such power and emotion, time becomes irrelevant as the mountainous landscapes, jagged desert cliffs and emotional roller coasters of a bowhunting life rise off the page, and play out in your imagination. Dunn’s background as a romance language major at Harvard truly shows its power.   I make it a point to read a quick section from Barebow before writing any of my own material.

Dunn penned book not only to capture his lifetime of adventures, but also a resource and educational reference.  After finally completing the Super Slam in May of 2004, he set out on the three year journey to record his previous 40 year quest.  As one will notice very quickly, Dunn’s book contains no “hero shots”, pictures posing with a kill.  Instead, Dunn collaborated with the  talented father and son wildlife artist team Hayden and Dallen Lambson, to create stunning depictions of each animal species.  I really enjoyed each depiction because part of the reason Dunn decided to use drawn pictures since it helps the non hunter understand the powerful  intrinsic side we as hunters see in the chase of our quarry. One will also notice throughout this book, Dunn directs his words directly at the non hunter. Never attacking them, but explaining in calm words the philosophical side to chasing game.  I attribute these parts of the book as a major reason Dunn was awarded a coveted Mossy Oak Pinnacle Award at the annual Professional Outdoor Media Association, (POMA), conference in 2010.  In addition, Barebow has won awards from the Outdoor Writers Association of America,( OWAA),The Northwest Outdoor Writers Association, (NOWA), as well as top recognition from the Bulls and Beaver website and an editors review in Outdoor Life in 2010.  Recently as this year it was awarded the Jenkings Publishing Group Gold award for its new ebook publication.  Each award is well deserved.

The Book.

As I wrote earlier, part of the reason I truly love this book, and part of the reason  it has netted multiple awards, was because of Dunn’s ability to communicate effectively with the non hunter.  In fact, while talking with Dunn he told me a fierce anti hunter once read the preface of the book and returned shortly after purchasing five more books for her friends.  The Preface and the Afterward, are two of the most well thought out and crafted pieces of explanatory literature about the place of man and our role as a predator I have ever read.  Dunn captures the pure essence of why we do what we do. He brings the concept  Dunn quotes James Swan several times throughout the book.  Swan’s quote is, “ Down through the ages, the concept of stewardship-that humans have a responsibility to care for the creatures that feed them- has been the law of the land , and it has worked to the benefit of both.  they feed us and we care back for them.  That, really is a far better deal than other predator species give their prey.”  Dunn brings to life this quote through out the pages  of his book blending the pursuit of trophy animals and the reality that, trophy hunt, hunting general is so closely related to the overall stewardship of the land.  Dunn and his book represent hunters and huntresses the way we need to be represented in todays politically fueled landscape.  From explaining the benefits of trophy hunting and how it is tied into stewardship of the land, why we hunt, where our hearts as sportsmen and women truly are.

Included are links to Dunn’s website in which one may purchase a hardcover edition of Barebow. If you are an archer, a hunter of any skill level, a nature lover, a non hunter or even one who classifies themselves as an anti hunter, I highly recommend one spend the money for this piece of art.  The true reasons for the hunt are embedded within the pages.  If one does not have the money to spend on a hardcover edition, the e-format books are a great option for a fraction of the cost.

Dennis Dunn is as good of an ambassador for the sport of hunting as it gets.  He is a class act individual and truly understands the reason we hunt.  He conveys that meaning through the pages of his book. He is a great friend and mentor as well, and I am proud to name Barebow the Pushing the Wild Limits August book of the month. 

Big Bass, Dirty Waters, Plastic Worms

Although every fisherman and women dreams of pure, untainted waters for fishing, this may not always be the case.  Spend enough time fishing and you will wet lines in: clear, semi- clear murky, dark, green, black and blue types of water.  If you fish near developed areas, the waters may not be clear or even semi-clear.  Sometimes the water is so dirty, you can’t see your lure even inches under the surface.  

Throwback to fishing the dirty river waters near collage and scoring on huge smallmouth.

My brother, a friend and myself have been fishing such an area.  Austen and our friend Greg even fish a local bass tournament tournament every week  and consistently place well.  To help our fellow fishermen for the last half of the summer months score in dirty waters, here are a few tips we have picked up from fishing this dirty body of water multiple nights per week with plastic baits.  The plastic baits we typically use are the five and seven in plastic worms one can find at any bait shop or big box store.  

If your thumb looks like this after a day of fishing, it was a good day.

Low and Slow:

Ever have a parent tell you you are cooking the food way too hot and way too fast? Fast and furious?  It takes the flavor and nutrition out of the food right?  Well, this was one of the first lessons we learned about fishing dirty waters, low and slow.  Due to the low water visibility, high boat traffic and high fishing pressure, the bass are generally spooked to begin with.  Presenting the bait and enticing a bite is like a dating process almost, you need to earn the fishes’ trust.  In other waters we have fished, the move movement you give the bait, the better.  For some reason, in this body of water, the less created movement by you, the better.  The occasional twitch or lift of the bait is fine, just don’t over do it.  

Getting low: 

Getting your plastic worms low isn’t always the most difficult.  The classic drop shot, also known as a Texas Rig, will get you low on the bottom.  Especially in the midday into the evening hours when boat traffic is at its peak, the fish hang low in the waters.  Using heavier worms also helps get you to the bottom quicker, but without the artificial weight of a sinker, presents your bait a bit more naturally.  Get low and crawl your bait crass the bottom.

7lbs 15oz.

Finding deeper waters:

This isn’t the most cutting edge I know, but bear with me.  Now not everyone has a fish finder I understand.  However, using the internet to find topographical maps of the count ours of the lake is a real possibility.  Use landmarks to pinpoint    specific depths and structures of interest.  If you have a fish finder, use it to the max and look for the suspended drop offs, rock bars and weed lines.  We used our fish finder to find random rock piles in the middle of the lake and work them backwards into the shoreline to find countless other ridges and drop offs.  This helped lead Austen to catching a lifetime personal best, seven pound fifteen ounce bass.  I was right there to verify the weight of the fish on the scale.

Colors:

Again, maybe not the most cutting edge here, but, even though it is tempting to use colors which might visibly stand out in the water, stick with matching the colors of the bait fish.  For example, even though the water is a dirty green, we have our best luck using green, blue and silver worms.  It is very tempting to use a florescent orange worm, and sure you might get a curiosity strike.  But again, you must earn the trust of the fish and matching the colors of their food will serve you best.  

Keep Calm & Fish On

Don’t let muddy and dirty water conditions deter you.  Get out there and wet a line.  Can’t catch a fish on the couch.

Poor Man Shrimping

Often referred to as the poor mans shrimp, perch are some of the best eating and fun to catch anyone with just a piece of string and a stick can catch.  Portaging from one lake to the next with kayaks, my brother Austen and I sought out the best looking submerged logs, beaver dams and rocks we could find.  Targeting the under fished schools of giant perch which roam the lake of Northern NY, we eagerly tied on marabou jigs and tipped them off with grubs.

A deadly combination

Finding perch was relatively easy,weeding through the small schools of fish to the lower depths where the big boys live, proved to be interesting.  We had to be more attentive to our presentations on this trip as the fish seemed spookier than usual.  But fish by fish, our boats began to fill.

One of the greatest scenes in the wild is having a big perch bend your light weight pole over and make the drag scream on your small reel.  With a large open mouth  darting frantically in and out of the branches of a downed in efforts to lose the hook, big perch offer excitement for all age ranges.

Thank you Bass Pro Shops

One of the nice things about being a bit older is the ability to take off on an adventure by ourselves.   To be able to implement the skills passed down from parents and grandparents and be successful in the lakes and ponds in which they learned to fish is a special feeling.  At the end of this day, we totaled 64 perch averaging over 10 inches.  The biggest was 13inches.  Our total weight was over 30 pounds of fish.  We spent over 2 hours cleaning those fish, and the cookout was amazing.

A quick shout out to Bass Pro Shops Marabou Jigs.  They give great action, are built well for hours of action and are able to get past many of the smaller fish to the depths of the larger fish faster.  I highly recommend these jigs if looking to score big on perch or crappie.  

Brotherly love…… and perch.

July Book Of The Month: Backcountry Bowhunting.

July Book Of The Month: Backcountry Bowhunting- A Guide to the Wild Side

Author: Cameron Hanes

Page Count: 287

Wilderness is an area, the backcountry is a position.  A place of mystery and peril.  One of the last places survival of the fittest rules without mercy.    We as hunters are intrigued by its mystery and adventure.  Many travel to these far haunts in search of game and adventure, few succeed, many are beaten. 

If you’ve noticed, there has been a change in the overall approach we take to hunting in the past ten years.   The mentality towards preparing for the hunt, where we hunt and how we hunt, while influenced by many, has been largely influenced by the work of Cameron Hanes.

The cover alone is enough to make you want to read. Just wait until you start reading.

For those unfamiliar with Hanes work, he has redefined what preparation for hunting looks like through exercising and healthy living- inspiring hunters around the globe.  At the heart of his preparation, is his incredible passion for hunting the western backcountry.  His Oregon Roots and first hand lessons from the Eagle Cap Wilderness area are perhaps the best teacher anyone could ask for.   To help other extreme hunters, he translates those lessons into the book he claims is the pinnacle of his writing career, Backcountry Bowhunting- A Guide to the Wild Side.

Eagle Cap is one of the most rugged places on earth.

Although originally published in 2006, our July book of the month is still completely relevant.  

Ok, so there is new gear and some technology has changed yet, the tactics, methods and purpose behind the book still speak wisdom.  Besides the tips, I thoroughly enjoy the incorporated stories from Hanes which help demonstrate how putting all the steps together can result in a a notched tag.  Paying attention to the stories not only provide great entertainment, but are inspiring. 

If planning a western, hunt, reading this book helps you understand from a mountain weary veteran the level of work and personal discomfort success requires.  

What I like most about this book, aside from the stories, is how Hanes discusses  the “soft skills”. Hard skills are often defined as technical abilities, soft skills are just the opposite.  They are your mental toughness, character and grit, which are not as easily taught as the hard skills of shooting a bow or reading a topographical map   Not only is this book loaded with strategies and practical tips, like switching alkaline, with lithium batteries, Hanes spends considerable time  talking about the mental games and personal trials one faces in the wilderness.  Personally, the pages discussing fear, desire, and mental conditioning I believe are the most valuable pages in this book.  In an age where the playing field among hunters is fairly even when it comes to gear, mental fortitude is the last great separating barrier among hunters in the field.  Hanes’ insight to mental preparation, fear and desire is enough to make anyone want to jump off the couch, throw away the potato chips and head for the weight room.  It has.  His social media page is filled with success stories of countless inspired hunters.  From scouting to off season conditioning, preparation is the heart of this book, and the core of Hanes success as a bowhunter. 

Each book is a signed copy. This speaks volumes showing Hanes is thankful for each and every person who reads his work.

Not only is this book a great learning and teaching tool, it is also a resource for planning your own trip.  Inevitably, as your eyes sweep across each page, you build your own mental image of what a trip could look like.  Our minds  begin spinning with the prospect of exploring new country and being challenged.  While beginning to calculate the lowest cost route to a high thrill adventure, we choose a target species of animal and think about different states to hunt.  The last section of the book is Cameron’s Loss of Life or Limb Rating System. He briefly describes several high adventure low cost DIY trips for people like you and me.   His rating system is based upon a five skull and crossbones rating.  Five being the most dangerous in which buying a one way flight ticket might be best to save money.   One skull and crossbones reflects the self inflicted danger of going into a hunt half hearted. He outlines DIY trips for elk in Idaho and Wyoming, mule deer in Nevada, and Sitka black-tail, Caribou and black bears in Alaska.  These short descriptions of fantastic DIY hunts are the flame you need to begin researching these areas and packing your gear.

Look, I’ve hunted the Eagle Cap Wilderness myself.  My father has actually tagged a few animals in this area.  Hunter to hunter, it is just as unforgiving as Hanes says it is.  Eagle Cap is downright brutal, there is no other way to describe  that chunk of country.  Because of my experience several years ago, I can attest- there is not an ounce of fluff in this book.    Whether you have the ability to travel to the west or not, even if you are like me and only have the ability to hunt whitetails in a neighboring state, Backcountry Bowhunting has something for each individual hunter.  A book you will never want to have too far away.

Book Review: The Freelance Bowhunter

June Book of the Month:  The Freelance Bowhunter

Author: Bernie Barringer

Page Count: 208

Traveling to hunt has skyrocketed in popularity in recent years.  Whether a direct impact from media personalities or hunters plain driven by adventure, the desire to experience the thrill of pitting your instincts against game and new territory has never been higher.  However, while this desire lies within all of us to try something new, we also often find our fantasies washed away quickly once we reach the trail head.  Many nightmarish stories have come from hunters bombing off with high hopes only to be smacked harshly by nature through weather, pressure and a lack of research.  Yet, there are those among us who successfully notch a tag on these trips, some have even made a career doing so.  Some of these people include Cameron Hanes, Steven Rinella, and Berrnie Barringer.

Our first book of the month is focused on Bernie Barringer’s new book aptly titled, The Freelance Bowhunter.– DIY Strategies For The Traveling Whitetail Hunter.  The Freelance Bowhunter is not just another how-to book, it is a resource.  Barringer combines information on setting yourself up for success on DIY hunts with his own stories of success and failure.  Since he adds his own stories to the pages, you are not only entertained, but know Barringer is not selling you fluff.   Even though Barringer is a successful outdoor writer and he knows many icons of the outdoor world, does not mean he hunts differently than the majority of us.  His knowledge and tips are from the thousands of miles driven and hiked, battling the odds of arrowing a mature animal, away from home- usually on public land.  

Although this book covers many of the topics we hear about regularly, there are many topics we tend to take for granted.  Barringer dives deeper and each chapter is packed full with little details of golden truths.   Even down to the way you ask  questions to gain insider tips.  Barringer’s book forces us to reconsider our approach to preparing for a DIY hunt.  

Barringer breaks down the DIY whitetail hunting concept from the top.  He helps us start with the big picture- why we want to attempt a DIY trip, actually.  He challenges us to take a deeper look at why we want to go to another state and hunt a place we have never been to.  He walks us through choosing a state with some incredible personal tips on  finding and picking an area through interpersonal communication and the power of the web. From there, Barringer even walks us to all the way to picking the tree you will touch off on a big deer.

Barringer really hammers home the concept of how to scout and why to spend precious time scouting a brand new area even with limited time.   He even breaks down ways to effectively use the web to scout an area from the kitchen table, using electronic topographic maps, to using trail cameras on public land.  Talking about trail cameras and their use is one of the hottest topics today.  Barringer outlines several small details in their use to improve success chances and should not be over looked.  His use of trail cameras has even forced me to reevaluate their use, purpose and place-even on my own properties.

Throughout the book, Barringer even shares his choices in gear and why he uses them for long DIY hunts.  This book helps with the learning curve of your own DIY hunt.  If you read this book and feel inspired to plan a hunt on your own, keep this book handy, and pay close attention to the times Barringer tells of unsuccessful ventures to avoid those mistakes.  

A great read with a good cup of coffee.

To further improve the resourcefulness of the book, Barringer outlines ways to stay warm with a full stomach when on the road.  There are several different methods of transporting your killed animal are discussed, one I’d had never considered until now.  And also, unconventional tactics to keep in your deck of cards until the pressure mounts and calls for a change in methods.  Barringer further helps other hunters like you and me by outlining state by state information.  From season dates to tag application dates and prices.   Above all, The Freelance Bowhunter is more than just a book, it is an idea and which lives among all of us.  These are trips and adventures at our fingertips.  Read this book, be inspired, research, put the petal to the metal and shoot straight.

Strategies like the ones outlined in this book helped us fill the freezer many times as collegiate hunters.

Teaching Izzy To Fish

Scanning the murky waters of the small pond I hoped- no prayed, to the almighty for a small crappie, perch or bass to bite.  Kneeling  on the left beside little four year old Izzy with my hand gently on her shoulder, I talked her through each step trying to catch her first fish.  

Repeated attempts to cast the tube jig off her pink Barbie fishing rod resulted in entangled in the bushes surrounding the bank.  Teaching a four year old to fish may be seen as a nuisance, or even a chore for parents and other adults who know nothing about fishing.  To me, walking a kid through the steps to catching their first fish is a duty on which I find pure enjoyment.  Knowing the young child will blabber on and on about the  fish they caught is worth the ten minutes it takes to help teach them the ropes.  

But teaching little Izzy on this particular day brought an extra reason I wanted her to catch a fish so badly.

Thankfully Izzy was a patient little girl who did not become frustrated easily and was willing to try as best she could any instruction handed down.   She did her best to “bounce” the silver tube jig in a jerky up and down motion forgetting to reel unless instructed to.  Her quiet demeanor soaked up the experience while I tried to remain as enthusiastic as possible even as we were not catching fish.  

3 Observations to successfully hooking a child on fishing.

Besides the obvious tip of keeping it short and interesting, here are a few things I picked up from working with Izzy.

1) Let them choose the lure or bait:

While we know what the fish are going to be biting on, give the child options within the parameters of what will be most successful for them to choose.  This gets the kids involved on an even deeper level.  With Izzy, we knew the fish in this particular pond were going nuts for small tube jigs.  We had a multi colored tub jig box and by letting Izzy select the color she wanted to fish with, she now has a greater and more involved memory of the experience.  

2) Reeling may not be a bad idea:

We typically think taking young children fishing is most successful with a bobber and worm set up.  In many instances, yes, this is true.  However, from watching Izzy, I realized since she had to reel and work the tube jig by herself, she was far more engaged in the process with little time to become distracted.  This will vary child to child so pay attention to their personality type.

3)Hook Theory:

Young children I’ve helped seem to have an issue grasping the concept of setting the hook.  To combat this issue, if you are using bait, use a hook such as a small circle hook in which the fish essentially catch themselves after taking the bait.  Without having to worry about the precious seconds needed to set the hook, a circle hook will help give you and the child time to practice the concept on a live fish.

Half way around the pond produced several lost fish, I was nervous she would lose interest in the activity.  Her line darted out from the edge of the bank with ferocity.  Thankfully, due to the little fish’s speed combined with the height above the water we were on the bank, the fish hooked itself.  Izzy’s mother relaxing on the other side of the pond shouted her excitement as the small bass was held up for people to see.   I turned to my friend who was walking alongside observing the action and breathed a sigh of relief.  We both smiled and watched little Izzy sprint around the pond to tell her mom.  

Teach your child to fish and they could end up like this.

HAWK Treehooks Review

One of the biggest noise makers as far as new products go this year have been the introduction of HAWK Treestands and Accessories.   Although my internship with the company is over, I still love the gear and will support them in my  writing when I can.   As we approach the middle part of the year and hunting season not all that far off realistically, we need to begin looking at the new gear we want to take with us this fall.  Here is a run down of the new treestand hook accessories launched by HAWK for 2014.

Tactical TreeHook:

Ok, how was HAWK able to improve  the simple tree hook.  A classic yet vital accessory we all depend on while ascending trees has not seen too much improvement until now.  The team at HAWK beefed up the coating on the handle with a durable over molded plastic coating.  Tipped with what they call the Auger Tip, HAWK has designed the tip threads to begin immediately.  Auger Tips come standard on all HAWK hook Accessories.  The benefit is,  during those moments of trying to haul gear into the tree, and get settled, you will not spend extra time having to dig into the tree sine the threads begin cutting through the hardwood immediately.  These tips are extremely sharp, to keep you and your gear safe,  HAWK has equipped the Tactical Tree Hook with a protective covering and carabiner to latch to your pack or belt loop.

Considering the rate that many of us tend to misplace treehooks, it is a good thing these are only $5.99.

JAB’ Handle:

Ergonomically built for direct user comfort, the JAB’ handle is one of the most brilliant hooks designed for the market today.  Leverage for securely drilling tree hooks while in the stand is can be a pain.  One aspect I remember distinctly talking with the HAWK team about endlessly was the ability of the threads to flip back like a pocket knife.  This feature keeps me and my gear safe from being poked by the sharp point.  This also allows you to store and the JAB’ Handle much easier, keeping your overall pack organized.  With a rubber coated surface and an MSRP of $12.99, slide this into your pocket and go.

The exclusive Auger Tip

Xtendible Bow Arm:  

The aircraft grade aluminum body is the traveling hunters new best friend.  Easy on weight and on your wallet, weighing in at, 6.5 oz. bowarm extends from 8.75 inches to 16.5 inches with a suggested retail price of $17.99.  This arm fits perfectly in cargo pockets for those who need to hike into areas with as little gear as possible.  Also highly user friendly, the actually tree attachment is quickly disconnected from the bow arm for easy tree installation.  Like the JAB’ handle, the detached part allows for excellent leverage.  Snap the arm back onto the bracket , find your preferred length, nock an arrow and start hunting.  I had the chance to help test this arm while hunting big parcels of woodland state forests.  I refused to leave my apartment without it in the bag, it quickly became one of my favorite accessories.

GoGadget: 

To top off the already impressive line of new tree hooks, HAWK sends hunters into the field with the GoGadget Bow Arm. Using two axis’ instead of the traditional one horizontal rotating axis, the beauty of having two axis’ is, being able to truly customize where you place your bow.  A  360 degree rotating over molded hook, the GoGadget silently moves to fit how you want to be set up in the tree.   No longer will you have to lean out away from your tree to grab your bow.  Leaning away from your tree exposes your profile and increases your chance of possibly falling out of the stand.  HAWKalso included three accessory knobs to be able to hang your optics and calls.   Built from aluminum, the GoGadget is easily transportable in your pack to and from the truck.  The GoGadget retails for $34.99

One of the best locking systems there is.

Horizontal and vertical adjustment.

Customize your set up.

HAWK Tree Hook Accessories combine user efficiency with affordability for the hard working hunter refusing to give up reliability.  All HAWK gear is built on these principles which makes the young company  a new force to be reckoned with.   This gear allows you to hunt further with greater efficiency.  HAWK helps you Push The Wild Limits.
