Winter 2008 Gear Spotlight
November 04, 2008 by T&TH Staff
Summary
A look at some of the new turkey gear on the market to help you bag a gobbler this spring.
Cabela’s Anti-Venom Snake Boots combine a snakebite-preventive 7-inch boot with a removable 17-inch snakeproof gaiter. In snake country, you can use the entire system for optimal protection. Back at camp or in country where snakes aren’t a threat, simply remove the gaiter and wear the boots alone, which feature 900-denier nylon with an Emtex snakeguard backing, a waterproof/breathable Dry-Plus lining, steel shank and EVA midsole.

Next Camo’s latest patterns, G-1 and G-1 Green, utilize the elements that are so prevalent in today’s modern patterns; leaves, limbs, trees, contrast and detail. The patterns combine these elements with traditional images such as vertical tree shapes broken by diagonal leaves and limbs. The vertical pattern is designed to strike a balance between light and dark, color and form, all laid over a light, neutral groundsheet. The result is maximum effectiveness in a wide variety of settings at a value price. Contact Next Camo at (706) 575-5442 or www.nextcamouflage.com.

The new Boiler Room Ground Blind from Hunter’s Specialties provides total concealment while allowing plenty of space to shoot or take a friend along on a hunt. The rugged, hub-style blind has a 76-by-76-by-69-inch (hub to hub) interior with a zippered, arched doorway for easy entry and exit. Camouflaged windows on four sides offer 360-degree visibility if desired. The split window coverings with interior black-out panels can be dropped down and secured to expose just the right amount of replaceable shoot-through mesh for every hunting situation. The blind comes with a Scent-Safe carrying bag. Contact Hunter’s Specialties at (319) 395-0321 or www.hunterspec.com. |
