December 18, 2009
This is a warning to outdoor users about a potentially deadly biological event that could result from one’s curiosity to poke at and kick through scat from wolves, coyotes and foxes. Of course not everyone knowingly does this but many hunters, trappers and simply the curious, want to know what these animals have been eating. Read more
Picture This!
November 7, 2009
With all the great stories, equipment, adventures and people out there I thought it would be great to get some pictures. If you have any pictures from a hunt, your gear or best of all you geared up that would be great. If you send in pictures I will post on our site as well as putting some of the best pictures on all our sites. Things I am looking for, but not limited to.
•   Gear: Clothes, utility tools, ATV’s…
•   Favorite weapons: guns, bows, sticks, stones…
•   Best Duck Blind or Hide…
•   You, family or friends dressed for the hunt…
•   Where you hunt
All I need is a digital picture in any PC compatible format and a description of the picture. You can make the description as long or short as you would like. If there is a story behind the picture we would love to hear about it.
Send Pictures to:

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 more
Young Ohio Hunters Bag Over 10,000 Deer In Two Days
December 12, 2007
With over 40,000 young Ohioans age 17 and under taking to the woods for deer last weekend, they bettered last seasons total deer harvest considerably. Last year during the youth only weekend, hunters took 8,811 deer. Last weekend the kids reaped a total harvest of 10,515.
Youngsters participating in the deer hunt could use shotguns, muzzleloaders, handguns, and bows. They had to be licensed, wear the property hunter orange safety clothing and be accompanied by a qualifying, non-hunting adult.
What’s great about this program is the kids could take one deer of either sex and still be eligible to participate in the upcoming state-wide deer-gun season that runs from November 26 – December 2.
Congratulations to all those successful hunters and good luck in the upcoming deer hunt.

Ohio wildlife officials are asking deer hunters to shoot wild boar this deer season. Wild pigs are overpopulating some parts of southern Ohio and officials say they are devastating crops and spreading disease.
Wild hogs can grow quite large as one can attest from the accompanied photo.

EHD Hasn’t Peaked Yet Evidently
December 12, 2007
Even though portions of northern New England last night saw some frost and temps below freezing, cold weather has yet to reach areas that are infested with Epizootic Hemorrhagic Disease (EDH), an insect-born virus that is deadly to whitetail deer. This year the outbreak of EHD was quite widespread. Common in many southern states, this year EHD has been detected in northern states like Ohio, Pennsylvania and now New York.
It has been confirmed that EHD was the cause of death for some deer found in Albany County. This is the first ever that EHD has been officially found in the Empire State.
Officials say that once the first freeze arrives it will kill off the tiny insects that carry the disease.

After a little internet searching, reading, and checking up on this stuff I found it’s 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 company’s claim it derives from a saying they have up north, “I’ve got it!”
