Buying Off-Season

Buying products in the off-season is a great way to save money. Products are seriously discounted so that they will move out to make room for products that are in-season.
Example: I just bought a 15′ 2-man ladder treestand that normally sells for at least $179 for only $49! Actually… it was such a great deal, I bought two of them. The first response from several people was that I would then have to buy harnesses for it and they could cost $99 each. Nope! It came with 2 harnesses! I’ve already put one together and it seems to be a pretty descent stand. After next hunting season, I’ll have to do an update on how I liked hunting in it and how it’s holding up.
Anyway… This is a great example of the deals you can get when you simply buy off-season. The dangerous part is…. now I’m excited to see what other great deals I can find now for next hunting season. Don’t tell my husband!
Happy Hunting!

Save on Hunting and Fishing Gear

Hunting and fishing are fun, but they can also be expensive. I’ve found that buying cheaper gear is not such a good idea. I want to actually see through my binoculars. I want a nice clear image, not a cloudy, slightly blurry one that can come with a cheap pair. I think all hunting & fishing gear are like this. I want the best… at the best price.
Cabela’s Bargain Cave is one of the places I find great deals. The inventory is constantly changing so I can always find new things. From ammo, game calls, tree stands and trail cams to clothing and hunting accessories.
The Bargain Cave also has fishing and camping gear, a boating section and so much more! Check it out and check it often so that you can buy the best and save the most.
Happy Hunting!

Not My Mum’s Venison Lasagna
(Click here for the full description and recipe.)
Venison Lasagna
This is a riff off my mother’s lasagna, and of course, everyone’s mother makes the best lasagna, right? This one is supremely meaty, supremely cheesy. There’s something like 3 pounds of meat and 2 pounds of cheese in this bad boy. But it makes 8-10 servings, so don’t worry about it. This lasagna, like most, reheats well, too.
And of course you can use regular ground beef and pork for this if you don’t have access to venison or wild boar. It’ll be just as good.
Serves 8-10.
Prep Time: 30 minutes
Cook Time: 3 hours
1 pound ground pork or wild boar
2 pounds ground venison or ground beef
1 chopped onion
1 head of garlic, chopped
1 28-ounce can of crushed tomatoes
1 8-ounce can of tomato sauce
1 can of tomato paste
1 cup red wine
1 teaspoon fennel seeds
1/2 teaspoon fennel pollen (optional)
2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil leaves
2 tablespoons dried oregano
1 15-ounce container of ricotta cheese
1 pound mozzarella cheese, shredded
1 cup grated pecorino cheese
1/2 nutmeg
1/2 cup chopped parsley leaves
12 lasagna noodles
Salt and pepper

10 Ways To Stronger Rifle Field Shooting Positions
By Shawn Carlock
After having spent years in the hunting fields, rifle competitions, and training arenas, I have noted that a high number of missed “field” shots in these conditions were the result of unstable or flat out poor shooting positions. Now, in the areas of hunting, rifle competition, and training, your field shooting position will often be far from ideal. However, there are things you can do to raise your first round hit percentage by improving your shooting position.
1. Get your rifle as close to the ground as possible. The higher your body and your rifle are up in the air, the less stable you typically are. Not all field positions allow you to be right on the dirt, but be there whenever you can. Even if you do not use a bipod on your rifle, simply being prone and unsupported is a better position than sitting, kneeling, or leaning against a tree. The closer you and your rifle are to the dirt, the more stable you will be. Now, getting low may not always be possible, so be prepared for other unique field shooting positions, but try to stay low whenever possible.
First Aid in the Wilderness

Accidents and injuries happen and when we are out in the wilderness hunting and help is not right around the corner, it becomes particularly important to have the right tools for handling injuries and know what to do with them.
Meet Dr. Julia Heinz. She lives in Alaska and has been hunting all her life. She’s put together a really nice article, OutdoorMed: Wilderness Aid, that is simple and easy to understand. She shows what you need to put in your emergency kit and how to use these items.
I love that Julia is BOTH a doctor and a hunter. She seems like an awesome person and her website is definitely worth checking out: WomenHuntingAlaska.com. Check it out!!

Shoot or Don’t Shoot?

When it comes to learning, games and interactive media are wonderful! Computers and the internet have made learning many new things fun rather than grueling. Hunting education and safety are now easier than ever as well as fun!
When hunting, we tend to get excited when we have an animal in our sights. But just because they’re in your sights doesn’t mean you should pull the trigger. When IS the correct time to pull the trigger? What is a good angle and what is a bad angle? If you pull the trigger, is the animal going to fall down dead because it was a good shot, or is it going to run away hurt?
The interactive game, Shoot or Don’t Shoot, is a good way to learn if you should shoot or not shoot a deer depending on the angle it is at or what is between you and the deer. Brought to you buy the Indiana Department of Natural Resources, this is a wonderful interactive learning exercise that is very educational and useable.
Happy Hunting!
