Don't Blink. You might miss a year or so.

It is hard to believe it has been over a year since I have posted on this blog. With life, work, having a 3 year old and and my fiance breaking her leg in 2 spots. I have been away from posting for a bit and now it is time to get back behind the keyboard. I have some really good posts and adventures coming up in the near future.

As of this year in June I joined the MINOX Adventure Team. MINOX makes high quality binoculars, rifle scopes, spotting scopes, game cams, and a few other great products. I have been using a few products for the past few months. I am currently testing out the MINOX BL HD 10x42 binoculars, a DTC 700 Game Cam, and a ZX5i 15x56 SF rifle scope for my 30-06. I am very excited to test these products out this year. I also have a few other gear reviews for this year. I have been using the EXO Mountain Gear 3500 pack for over a year.I will give my review on that as well as my new tripod set up for this season, Jimmy Tarps Granite Mountain and bivy sack, as well as a few other items I have been using this season.

As for the 2016 hunting season Al and I have had our ups and downs. We lost 2 spots due to fires in areas that we know hold deer. Since our spots have burned up we have had to start all over. Last week was our first weekend back out scouting new locations. I spotted a great shooter buck that I will be looking for on opening day. We also got our trail cams set in a few great areas on some promising deer trails. I will be pulling them the end of August and hoping for 4-5 bucks on the cams. Hopefully I will have a few great pictures to share too. All in all I am excited for the rest of this year and to see what happens this upcoming hunting season.
