Big Squeeze Bow Press


C.W. Erickson Manufacturing makes a bow press that works for all compound bows, including short parallel limb bows, and most crossbows. Working on your bow can be really frustrating if you don’t have the right type of winch to hold your bow in place. But with the Erickson Big Bow Squeeze you can add new line easily. The high density rollers squeeze the limbs of the bow. It is drawn by a no slip brake winch. The automatic brake keeps it from accidentally releasing the bow, thus keeping it safe.

Leatherman Core Tool


Have you ever wondered why a Leatherman is called a Leatherman? It’s simply that the Leatherman Tool Group was formed by Timothy S. Leatherman. He first came up with the concept in 1975 when he was on a tour of Europe and could not fix his ailing car with his pocket knife. The concept of a Boy Scout knife with a pliers, was born. After working on his idea for several years, he received his first patent in 1980.
The Leatherman Tool name has become the name for multi-tool knifes. Open Season Gear has a variety of Leatherman tools. The Leatherman Core is what I will feature here. The Core has strong and powerful blades and hollow ground screwdrivers in standard sizes. The locks are easy to use to keep the tool you are using in place.

Scent Control Storage Bags


With animals having a much more defined sense of scent, it is very important to have hunting clothes that control the information given to the wild animals, so they are not aware of your presence.
If the scent-control suits are mixed in with other clothes or equipment, their effectiveness can be diminished. That is why ALS Enterprises has developed an airtight storage sack bag to keep other odors from contaminating Scent-Lok garments. These airtight scent-control storage bags can be used both at home, in the truck, or at the hunting camp or cabin.
The size of the storage bag is 9.5” x 24”. This offers ample and economical storage for any scent-control suit.
Purchase your Airtight Storage Bag at Open Season Gear to keep your scent-lok garments effective for the purpose designed.

Frisbee by Wham O


In many parts of the country the weather is perfect for playing Frisbee at various times all year round.

At Open Season Gear, because of their relationship with the Wham O company, you can order a Frisbee any season.
Tossing a Frisbee is an easy activity to organize. It can be from the 5 year old, just learning the body, eye, hand coordination, and playing with his family, to the Frisbee Pro, playing extreme Frisbee. Sometimes even the household pet dog gets involved.
So whether you use the Frisbee for casual family fun, or are into competitive Frisbee, order your Frisbee from Open Season Gear. Styles available are from the basic classic Frisbee, to the Pro design.

Deer Attractants by Evolved Habitats Inc


Buck Jam has been developed by Evolved Habitats Inc. to attract deer. It is a gel-like mineral lick that is jamed full of sweet fruit flavor and minerals. Deer are attracted instantly to Buck Jam, and wherever it is applied, deer will come to lick. The intense aroma is an additional attractant that keeps them coming back, time and time again.
There are three ways Buck Jam can be applied.
1. Pour directly on the ground: All you need to do is pick your spot and clear the area of sticks and debris, then pour directly on the ground. Some of the Buck Jam will soak into the ground, but will still attract the deer.
2. Pour over decaying stumps, and logs: Buck Jam will slowly soak into the decayed wood. Once it is saturated, the decayed wood will be an attractant that will keep the deer coming back.
3. Mix with grains or pour over feed. Sometimes feed alone go untouched by deer because it is unfamiliar to the deer, and doesn’t have a compelling smell. Just add Buck Jam to the feed, and it will be irresistible.
Buck Jam comes in the flavors of: ripe apple, persimmon, sweet corn, honey acorn, and peanut butter. To attract the deer, and keep them licking, purchase Buck Jam from Open Season Gear.

Avid Hunters Need to Use a Spotting Scope


Avid hunters know that the right equipment can make a big difference in their hunting experience. Using a spotting scope can make the difference of having a trophy on the wall, or missing it by a couple feet.
Alpen Spotting Scopes were the winner of the Great Buy Award in 2003, 2004, and 2005 for Outdoor Life Magazine. You will know it was a great buy when you get your trophy game because you were able to see it through the spotting scope. The Alpen Spotting Scope features a powerful lens, and zoom eyepiece. The Spotting Scope can be used in all types of weather, because the lenses are nitrogen filled to resist fogging, waterproof, dustproof, and shock resistant. A 12 inch swivel-head tripod is included to give a stable base for use. A padded field carrying case is with the scope to protect it, and make convenient carrying.

Buy your Alpen Spotting Scope from the Open Season Gear online store. The Alpen 15-30x50, and the 18-36x60 are both available for your choice.

Slingshot Hunting


The old hip pocket slingshot has come a long ways. Maybe you remember making a sling shot as a kid with the red lining of an innertube. Along with better design for tires, went the homemade innertube slingshot.
I had a great uncle who made his brothers and cousins very envious because he could bag more game with a slingshot then they could with a gun.
Obviously it takes practice to develop the skill of using a sling shot. It is something that is easier to practice even in a city backyard, versus using a gun. Most urban areas outlaw target practice with a gun.
Slingshots are a good alternative to using a gun when squirrel hunting. Squirrel hunting with a slingshot makes you feel like a real frontiersman. So, just for fun get a slingshot from Open Season Gear and develop the skill to make those gun toters jealous.

Remember: They Can Smell You


Animals have noses 1,000’s of times more sensitive than ours. Maybe you are hidden in a blind. Maybe you have been completely silent. Maybe you stayed very still. But still the game avoided you. They smelled you. Sometimes it isn’t the human scent they smell as much as the scent of laundry detergent, fabric softeners, shampoos, and deodorants.
At Open Season Gear you can purchase online many scent killers to hide your scent. Scent eliminators manufactured by the Wildlife Research Center are perfect for this use.
LIQUID SOAP
BAR SOAP
CLOTHING WASH
ANTI PERSPIRANT AND DEODORANT
CARBO WASH
SCENT KILLER SPRAY

Headlamps Keep Your Hands Free


A flashlight on your head, or known as a headlamp is the type of light that makes the most sense when you need to keep your hands free for the task at hand.
An activity that may call for a headlamp is when camping. Sometimes you may need to adjust the tent stakes after dark, or attend to something else on the campsite that you need both hands to do, and need directed light to see the job.
Another situation would be for an emergency after dark home repair. Or to use in a lowlight situation like an attic or crawlspace.
A third possibility is for raccoon hunting. You want a light that can easily be directed where you are looking, without causing too much light to prematurely scare the raccoon away. Your gun can be in your hands and ready to shoot the critter.
You can choose from a variety of headlamps at Open Season Gear online store to use for any of these reasons.

You could carry wire cutters, locking pliers, serrated knife, wood and metal file, slotted screwdrivers, Phillips screwdrivers, hex bits, bottle opener, wire stripper, and a ruler when camping or working. But, you would have very bulging pockets, or have to carry a toolbox of tools.
Open Season Gear carries the Crunch with a Leather Sheath and a lanyard attachment. Leatherman is the name of the manufacturer, but typically it is called a leatherman. The crunch contains all the tools listed above, but is only 4 inches in length when in the closed position.

Arctic Bear Claw 3D Boot


The Artic Bear Claw 3D boot is the one I have been waiting for. With 1400 hundred grams of thinsulate, worrying about your feet getting cold is no longer a concern. I use one pair of socks and nothing else. I do most of my hunting in the Midwest, so seeing temps in single digits causes me no problems. This boot is light weight and waterproof. It feels almost like I am wearing my sneakers. I highly recommend the arctic bear clar 3D boots.

The
Muzzy 100 grain broadhead 3 blade
is the only one in the world as far as I am concerned. Muzzy is the leader in broadheads for a reason. I have never lost a deer while using these arrowheads at the end of my arrows. The last 3 years I have taken a 155,a 173 and a 150 class whitetail. No, there will never be any other broadhead for me. Enclosed is a photo of my 173.
