i Phone Scope Wounded Warrior
I need your old i-phone if the camera works. We have a blind wounded warrior who wants to deer hunt this year. I want to add the i-phone to his scope so his buddy can direct his aim and tell him when to shoot. Please pass this on to your friends and message me if you have one, thanks!

Packing For Illinois Archery Hunt
I am in the final planning and packing stages for my up coming Illinois whitetail archery hunt. I have always been a big list maker (OCD) and enjoy the preparation as part of the hunt.
Archery hunting has always been my passion and I am so thankful to have this opportunity to go hunting. I hope the weather improves for my hunt, hurricane Sandy should be long gone by the time I am in my ground blind. It could be 60 or 10 degree's so I'm packing everything!

Wounded Warrior's Buck Sets McAlester Army Plant Record : The Outdoor Wire
Wounded Warrior's Buck Sets McAlester Army Plant Record : The Outdoor Wire
Fantastic, I love to see our veterans harvest a big buck! Thats great news.
Quinton Picone, 23, harvested this nine-point buck Oct. 12 at the McAlester Army Ammunition Plant during a Wounded Warriors in Action hunt. Picone is undergoing rehabilitation after losing both lower legs in 2011 while serving in the Army in Afghanistan. His buck set a new base record for the heaviest deer taken on the property.

Illinois Archery Buck 2012
My outfitter http://ledoutdoors.net/ just sent me a picture from the first night of archery season in Illinois this year. I would say it's off to a big start.
Ryan from LED Outdoors still has a few spots open for this year. I can't wait for my archery hunt to start, if you want to join me give him a call.

FAB Defense Collapsible Stock With Magazine Well
I think this is a great idea but I'm not crazy about the $122.40 price tag. I would like to see all future AR-15 manufactures make this type of buttstock standard. It would be nice to have an extra 10 round clip so close.

Pa Fall Turkey 2012, Rifle
Remember you can use a rifle this year in Pa for fall turkey season in most Mgt. Areas. Be sure to check your area and always obey game laws.
Either sex turkey can be harvested in the fall but be sure of your target and what's behind the turkey. No game animal is ever worth the risk of an accidental shooting.
Even though rifle's are legal in my area, I still plan on using my crossbow for turkey. Before my injury I used a compound bow one turkey season with success but have never taken a bird with my crossbow. I'm hoping to change that statistic this year...
