Huntech Gear Gets the Thumbs Up!!

July 4th, 2008

Yesterday went out to check the game-camera’s and have a look at the area we guide on……. Making sure no poachers, still deer there with considerable sign, etc.

Saw these two stags fighting and also the opportunity to test out the Huntech gear. The photo of the two deer is off 2mins of video I managed to get, though at 1.5k’s it is hard to hold still.

Huntech gear test – Let’s say “Unreal” the small pack held: two back straps, boned shoulders, eye fillets AND the HEAD in its internal canvas compartment! I’d suggest one of these to any serious hunter! Then I un-rolled the meat pack put the back legs in and headed off up the hill.

This gear obviously designed by hunters for hunters…… I didn’t need any jackets even though the wind chill was visible on a mate who forgot his gloves. Fully kitted out app I was invisible (though the photos with flash don’t show it), and the shot was taken at 60yds, the deer was focused on my mate wear a solid coloured shirt. I had time to sit down pick the smaller and wonkier of the two then place a perfect shot with the 458Alpine. We took photo 8 to show that the thermals were working you can see the perspiration on the outside of the material rather than on my skin (ps. I am not going bald)!

This is the same area we are working from last year with the local farmers and their landcare project, so add number #12 & #13 2-3yr olds from an area that has only 3 other hinds and 3 other mature stags! Same place we took 8 spiky’s last year and as you can see there are still 4+ left. Needless to say the farmers have been “surprised” as have we, with the number of small males and they are also very impressed the reduction of “damage” to freshly planted to 5yr old trees, though there are still small amounts occurring, it is nothing like in the past.

Huntech gear - get on board! Not that I am overly biased……..but an honest THUMBS UP!!
