Predator Supreme Rabbit Motion Decoy

I use this decoy each time I go coyote hunting now that I've tested it out.  The product adds a lifelike motion to the decoy which is really far superior to many other brands that only shake back-and-forth.  The fact that it rotates circularly makes it effective from all sides of view.  The only flaw is that the motor does make noise.  It is significant enough to make me worry a little bit, but would DOUBTFULLY be audible at 30 yards.  Good product.

Deluxe LORE stabilizer by Carolina Archery Products

I found that this particular brand of stabilizer made my bow NOTICABLY quieter and, more importantly, the bow performed much better.  Handle vibration was dampened and the bow's torque was channeled nicely into the stabilizer.  The pivot head is great so it will fit into my hard case without removing the stabilizer completely each time.  If a flaw is to be found, it would be that the pivot head connects to a cross bolt that is also metal.  I suppose it would possible to get a little metal clicking of the stabilizer wasn't on tight enough.

Muzzy 3-Blade Fixed Broadheads

This broadhead is widely accepted as the industry standard for broadheads.  After testing it, I would have to agree.  The design of this head really doesn't have any weak points.  The blades are very sturdy, the chisel tip is sharp and replacable, the blades are among the sharpest of any brand, the head shoots VERY accurately, generous cutting radius, and the free practice blades really add a lot to the product.

Rating: 10!!!         Price: .71 per head

Woodland Ghillie Suit by www.bushrag.com

Most avid hunters spend atleast on the nicest camo patterns available.  No matter what pattern of camo you have, it DOES NOT BREAK UP YOUR OUTLINE, and that is equally as important as the pattern itself.  The answer?  Get ghillie!  The bushrag ghillie sent to me from bushrag.com was an excellent woodland camo kit.  I have a ghillie suit that I made on my own and it really just doesn't compare to the professional suits made by bushrag.com.  If there was a flaw in this product, it would be that the kit didn't include as much brown color as I would have preferred, but you can order extra colors for a small fee.  Also, if you buy the kit instead of the premade suit, it costs less but takes about 5 hours to put together.

Silver Dog Howler

The silver dog howler is a great call.  It's the standard used by lots of predator callers.  I did my own test of it and found it to be a great call.  It looks great, gets a LOUD sound out, and is easy to blow.  The flaws with this particular call are that it is somewhat fragile and gets a higher pitch than some prefer.  HOWEVER, the higher pitch does a GREAT job of getting the smaller yotes coming in and gives the bigger ones more confidence by some people's opinion.

Razorcaps Broadheads

Razorcaps broadheads are quite unique of other broadheads you'll find.  The design of the head has the three blades all in one piece and the blades come to one point to act as the chisel tip.  At first glance at these heads, I was VERY skeptical, but they actually perform pretty well.  They shoot about as well as does the average broadhead, but the blades acting as the chisel tip is really a great idea.  Sharpest tip on the market no doubt.  I am a little concerned that the blades would need to be replaced constantly because there is no chisel tip.  The adaptable weight feature is really the best selling feature.  Finally you don't have to buy 4 or 5 sets of broadheads for hunting different game.  The same head can have weights added to make it up to 200 grains!  Excellent idea.

Fear Not! Rabbit Squealer

The Fear Not! rabbit squealer is a well-made product.  It produces noticably louder sounds than most callers do that I've used.  The tone produced is very raspy.  That is a feature that few calls actually have, that I think is really lacking.  So the tone is excellent.  As for pitch, I also like that it has the ability to really get clear tones in the high range for squeals.  It performed quite well in cold Idaho conditions.  The only problem that I personally had with it is that it would occasionally roll to the side and suddenly I'd hit an off-key note.  It may be improved with a wider reed portion so it is easier to keep track of.   However, this would EASILY be overcome once the caller is accustomed to the call.  Not really a major issue at all.  At a great price, you really should order one online and try it for yourself!

Xtreme Scents Body and Hair Wash

Xtreme Scents Body and Hair wash is a great product at a great price.  .99 for a 16oz bottle is really the way to go.  The liquid easily makes into a lather and will therefore go a long ways so you don't have to keep buying more bottles.  The best thing that I like about this is that there is NO scent added.  It drives me crazy to look at similar products by other companies that put cover scents IN the scent eliminator stuff.  I want to pick my own cover scent and put it on.  So this product does a great job of just eliminating the scent for serious hunters.
