Woodhaven Custom Calls Vision Series
These friction calls are without a doubt the most realistic on the market today. With each oval on the calling surface the sweetest yelps you have ever heard are attained. The cutts are sharp and the purrs on melodious. Each Woodhaven call is hand assembled and tuned to perfection. There is no doubt if you put one of these calls in your hands you will be performing turkey music the minute you remove it from the package.
Each call comes complete with an instructional dvd, a surface saver cover, two strikers and a surface conditioning kit. There are two surface choices, crystal and anodized aluminum. Either one will be devastating on gobblers in your neck of the woods this spring. Read the story »
Large Predators: Them And Us!
Reprinted by permission from the author.
Valerius Geist, Professor Emeritus of Environmental Science, The University of Calgary
Calgary, Canada.
We pay close attention to large predators. We do so because we evolved as prey. It was our ancient fate to be killed and eaten, and our primary goal to escape such. Our instincts are still shaped that way.
There is thus a reason why the bloody carnage on our highways is a mere statistic, but the mauling of a person by a grizzly is news. It’s not only that so many fossilized remains of our ancient ancestors are meals consumed by large predators in secluded caves or rock niches, but also that we speciated like large herbivores. That is, our pattern and timing of forming species, of adapting to landscapes, mimics and coincides with that of deer, antelope or cattle, but not that of large carnivores. And that despite our fondness for meat, despite “man the hunter”, and despite the fact that at least on species of humans, Neanderthal man, grew into a super predator. Read the story »
The Art Of Setting-Up On Turkeys
By Blaine Cardilli
~Ever wonder why some set ups work and some don’t?~
As a die hard turkey hunter and seminar speaker for both “Hunters Specialties” and “Northwoods Adventures TV“, I get asked a multitude of questions each season on how to set up on turkeys. Do you use a decoy? Do you roost birds every time? Do you ever “run-and-gun”? How important is specific camouflage design? Well, for me, the most important aspect of the hunt is a good set up so let’s start there.
Here in the Northeast, our turkeys tend to start gobbling in mid-March and strutting activity becomes widespread about the same time. It’s then that I’ll put my scouting tactics into overdrive, even though the season doesn’t open until the very end of April. Why? Because good preparation will always tip the odds in my favor.

More To Hunting Than Hunting Game

Some may think making a statement that there’s more to hunting than hunting and killing game is a cop out because of lack of success. Well, to each his own and while I might agree that in some cases that statement may hold water, I find as I get older there are just as many fascinating things to find in the outdoors than only game animals to fill my freezer.
My trip north to Maine this fall was a last minute affair. I had resolved not to go because I felt spending the money right now wouldn’t be wise but after discovering one of my hunting buddies had recently moved near me here in Florida, we talked ourselves into sharing expenses. Read the story »

After a little internet searching, reading, and checking up on this stuff I found its a pretty well established product in Canada and hails from Quebec where they have this funny habit of speaking a lot of French. Thus the name, Jig-A-Loo, and the companys claim it derives from a saying they have up north, Ive got it!
