Hey! Guess what? There is a new post up at the WON. Check out show I had the opportunity to chat with at SHOT Show in Vegas this January. Boy is LG a little upset about this one too. Some day she’ll be old enough to attend.
I had the pleasure of speaking with Eva Shockey, co-host of “Jim Shockey’s Hunting Adventures,” airing on the Outdoor Channel. I was pleasantly surprised to find that she is even more genuine in person than on television. The young huntress was filled with enthusiasm as she gave me some insight into her love of hunting and closeness of her family. …Click HERE to read the full interview.

My weekdays are primarily shared between the Little Gal and work so on the weekend I do my best to get outdoors. I don’t watch TV often, but last winter I did get to catch an episode of a friend/fellow Prois Staffer’s show on the Sportsman’s Channel which I really enjoyed.
I first met Jana Waller in 2011 at the annual SHOT Show in Las Vegas. As we introduced ourselves at the Prois booth my first impression was that she was kind hearted and genuinely down to earth. She and her camera man, Jim Kinsey, chatted with Hank and I and told us of their mission to create a show incorporating hunting, conservation and Jana’s famous skulls. We both thought the idea was great and couldn’t wait to see the huntress on the flat screen.
I caught the first episode last winter and truly enjoyed it. As I said, I am not around often so I felt it was unfortunate that I didn’t get to see more of Jana’s shows. When I saw the season 1 dvd set come available, I purchased it right away along with a Skull Bound T-shirt for my Little Gal. The Little Gal just loves the shirt and is currently watching Jana’s shows. Me? I watched nearly four hours of content right away and enjoyed every minute of it. The cinematography was outstanding, and I have been told season two will be even better. I’m going to have to get that one too.
I highly recommend the show to hunters and non-hunters alike. It is great to “travel the world with” Jana Waller as your host. She share’s the highs as well as the lows of her hunts (which I find impressive because not every show ends with a harvest). She and Jim have included a “Conservation Minute” in each episode to help educate the viewer on hunting, conservation and how we can all make a difference. They share the cultures of the people in the areas they spend time in with you the viewer, and you feel the friendship that is created along their journeys. You of course will also see unique and amazing skulls, both raw as well as embellished with Jana’s one of a kind beading and painting.
I am excited for my Little Gal to watch the excellent hunting and conservation ethics portrayed in the episodes and think you should take a moment to enjoy them as well.

Sometimes a girl doesn’t want to smell pretty.
Earlier this summer Hank, the Little Gal and I drove a giant loop through the south to hunt in Oklahoma and Alabama. We hunted with friends while in Oklahoma, and with Rack Nine Outdoors (RNO) in Alabama. We met up with friends from the Women’s Outdoor News and also HerCAMOShop.com’s Jeff and Shelly Ray. It was a pleasure to hunt with the group at RNO. They took very good care of us and one evening, while eating a delicious meal, Shelly Ray produced a gift to the Little Gal and I. She gave us a trial package of her scent free products.
Thanks to Jeff & Shelly Ray of HerCAMOShop.com for the excellent ladies scent free product. So great in fact that it’s already mysteriously gone missing. Someone else loved it too!
I tested the products, shampoo, conditioner, hair gel, lotion and body spray. They all passed my test of allowing a comb through my course thick hair. I was so pleased and especially impressed that I didn’t look like a black haired wild lion afterward. I say that because most volume shampoos add way too much volume for my extremely thick hair. The HerCAMOShop shampoo and conditioner did not. My hair felt thick but smooth. My hair had body, but did not stand up like a lion main. It was fantastic. Now I just had to take it out in the field for “the hunt”.
I am just returning from a bear hunt and no, I didn’t get a bear -YET-. Another huntress, who booked the same hunt, and I hunted in a pair with our guide. The other huntress got first shot and did get her bear. The scent free products obviously work well. We ended up close to bears in the brush. I am so pleased with HerCAMOShop.com’s scent free products and just had to share!
I also just ran acrossed my friend Becky Lou of BeckyLouOutdoors.com post. It is a review about the products. You simply have to check it out. She has said every word that I have thought as I tested the products. Read her post here: Becky Lou Outdoors HerCAMOShop Scent Free Product Review
Guys, if you surprise your beautiful huntress with these heavenly bath and body products for hunting season, she is sure to be happy, and trust me on this, “when the huntress is happy, everybody’s happy!” Becky Lou

Update: I reviewed the RZ Mask a few weeks ago, see below, and have since been sent a Youth size mask to try. The youth mask is a much better fit for my face and jaw-line. If you have a smaller face or narrow jaw, the youth model may be the way to go with this product.
I have been spending quite some time testing out the RZ Mask. When I received it, the package declared “camouflaged & scentless - Give yourself the advantage of complete sight and scent concealment” That sounds like it would be ideal for not only tree-stand, but spot and stalk hunting.
At first sight the mask appeared to be durable and well constructed. It is designed to cover the mouth and nose and has an adjustable metal bridge to secure it in place over your nose.
The topic of Spring Pollen brings me to another claim from the mask. The mask is designed with their “N99 activated charcoal filter”. The filters are said to ”keep out 99.9% of the pollen, dust, allergens, diesel particulate matter and other solid things that don’t belong in the lungs or nasal passages.” The downfall for me is that the mask is large for my face and leaves a gap below my chin where dust and dirt sneak in. The mask is a one size fits most so I wore it and adjusted it and wore it some more.
I snugged the mask up as much as I could so I would be able to test out the vent holes. The way it fit best was over my ponytail where it could be snug. The fastening system is velcro which was unfortunate during turkey hunting. I was way to noisy trying to adjust and keep it in place. As I sat in the brush contemplating the mask I came up with what purpose it would be good for.
For me, this mask would work perfectly under my helmet.
The next morning I donned the mask and then my helmet. I rode the 4 wheeler to the hunting lease and it was 23 degrees. The mask was wonderful. It kept my face warm. The air filtered freely through the vent holes and I could breathe easy. I had no frost or condensation inside the mask. The neoprene design was perfect for the cold temperatures. I also tested it out under my snowmobile helmet. It was perfect on a powder day. My face was protected and the mask remained secure in my helmet over bumps, jumps and climbs without obstructing my view.
As far as testing the scent filtration, I am certain the filters work well. For me the mask worked much better for motor sports than for hunting. The fit was not good for me making the mask difficult to hold in place while hiking and hunting, or even sitting in the brush. The mask is also available in extra-arge and youth size. I feel the youth may have been a better fit for me.
The RZ Mask is available at an MSRP of $29.95 at www.RZMask.com. Their web-sight recommends the mask for motorsports as well. They do offer a “no-hassle money back guarantee”.
