Dodge Ram

The Ram Outdoorsman offers features and equipment that every Professional Guide and Outfitter needs in his truck. Take a look.


Huskemaw

 

The Huskemaw Optics 5-20 Long Range Hunter is the most advanced Ballistic Compensating rifle scope available. It offers such technical advancements as True BC, a Rapid Field Ballistic Compensator and a simple yet powerful Hunts Smart range finding and a windage compensating reticle.


The Cartridge Comparison Guide

The Cartridge Comparison Guide compares every factory available cartridge from the 17 calibers up to the 50 caliber cartridges. It compiles data from all major ammunition manufacturers, and shows the optimal velocity achieved for each bullet weight and calculated bullet energy, recoil and powder efficiency. This Guide is known as “The Hunting Bible” and should be at the finger tips of every hunter and shooting enthusiast.


Prolix Lubricant

Prolix Lubricant is a biodegradable, non-petroleum based solvent/lubricant for firearms and other pieces of equipment. Its citrus based technology has a pleasant mild smell and is ozone safe. Click here to learn more of the product details and its many applications.


Zamberlan Dakota

I recently have been field testing the Zamberlan Dakota Boot.

This Italian made boot has proven to be one of the most comfortable, yet bullet proof boots that I’ve ever worn. The fit is good, traction dependable, wicking properties functional and its waterproof. A detailed field report will be out in the next few weeks.


Bait Button

Bait Button is the most functional pieces of fishing gear that I’ve ever seen. Simply stated, it keeps bait on the hook, which offers better bait presentation. It works on bait balls, plastic worms, trailer hooks and live bait. The buttons come with a refillable dispenser and can be used for salmon, steelehead, trout, bass and other game fish.


T-Reign

T-Reign tethers, make the perfect fishing companion. Whether you fish from a boat, wade a mountain stream, kick a float tube or paddle a kayak; keeping your gear handy is critical.


Wildlife Recapture

Wildlife Recapture is the endorsed taxidermist for Guy Eastman, of Eastman’s Hunting Journal as well as myself. Wildlife Recapture Taxidermy is located in Northwest Montana and provides both local and world-wide award winning quality taxidermy service. They also sell Mounts that will enhance your lodge, office or home.
