    New Tools For The Woods

            In the last few years there has been much ado about nothing over the fear that a new tool would destroy our outdoor heritage.  Much of what we heard was due to fear of the unknown, we tend to be afraid of what we don’t know instead of investigating and then making an informed decision or opinion on the subject.  The famous quote “we have nothing to fear, but fear itself”  stands true in this situation!

    Dead Down Wind Pac-it System

        

         Dead Down Wind has come up with a new way to make field spray easy for those outdoorsmen who travel.  It eliminates the need to try to pack a bottle of field spray for a long trip, besides you cannot take a large bottle of liquid on a plane anymore. 

         This new Pac-it system consists of three packages of field spray mix.  You take any water from the tap or in the field as long as it doesn’t have algea or pond scum floating in it, and mix 11 ounces of water with the contents of the package!  By doing that you now have 12 ounces of field spray for your hunt.  What could be easier to use? 

         I just recently talked with fellow Up North Journal pro staff member Jim Stephan wh0 was worried how he would take field spray on his trip this fall back to Michigan for the firearm deer season.  I mentioned this product to him and he was glad to know that he could pick this up and not have to worry about boarding a plane back home.  Check out Dead Down Wind’s site to learn more about this easy to use product.

    Lynch Mob Calls “Dog Cam”

    dog-cam-logo     I just finished producing the video for Lynch Mob Calls newest inovation.  It is a device called the “Dog Cam”, which allows you to view your hunt from man’s best friends’ perspective!

         The device allows you to put a small micro camera on the dogs head for videotaping his every move.  It allows you to see the hunt through his eyes, which gives you a whole new perspective and appreciation for man’s best friend.  Below is a 10 minute music clip with a hunt from New York and one from Iowa that George Lynch, his crew and more importantly his dog Buck went on last year with the new gear. 

         If you would like more information on the device you can contact George Lynch through his website at www.Lynchmobcallsinc.com.
