Boot Blankets and Mr Heater

With the temperatures in the 20's these boot blankets will be a must have in the ground blind for my Illinois archery hunt.  I also plan on taking a propane heater with me for the first time, Mr. Heater .  Because I can't feel from the chest down I need to be extra careful hunting in low temperatures.

I hope to balance staying warm and being scent free.... It could be a long week in cold temperatures so I want to be prepared.  Look for more cold weather gear post coming up...

L.E.D. OUTDOORS LLC

It's not very often that I personally know an outfitter but a good friend of mine Ryan, has L.E.D. OUTDOORS LLC in Illinois.

I had the opportunity to hunt whitetailed deer with Ryan this year in Pennsylvania. He is a quality Hunter, very ethical and extremly knowledgeable and certainly put me on to deer.

Hopefully I get a chance to bow hunt in Illinois with him sometime soon. Take a look at his site and book your dream hunt with Ryan. I am confident you will be extremely satisfied!

Range Finders

One of the most important things you need to know when bowhunting is precise yardage.  The first thing I have my hunting partner do after I'm all set up in the ground blind is use a laser rangefinder to give me some exact ranges to known objects.

I like to know what landmark is 20 yards, what tree is 30 yards, 40 or 50 yards.  That way when my target walks through I can easily judge the yardage accurately. 

We owe it to the animal to make a quick efficient shot.   Many misses occur by misjudging yardage.  Spend the extra time to get familiar with your equipment, use it in practice and while zeroing in your bow.
