ConQuest Scent Sticks

We have some Exciting News!
ConQuest Scent Sticks shared some of their products for our blog to review.

ConQuest is a leader in the market and has developed some awsome products for many different hunting applications. If you have a dog to train for bird hunting (quail,duck,grouse,pheasant) or even coon hunting you need to check the ConQuest web site: http://conquestscents.com/product-category/hunting-scents/dog-training/

Look for reviews in the next couple of months on these great looking products.

This is the Ever Calm Deer Herd Scent Stick.  This product is a great alternative to liquid scent.  You rub this stick on a tree, rock, maybe a fence post and it will last longer than a traditional liquid.  This seems to me would be idea for scouting and use in front of a game camera.  I plan to put it to use in the near future and see what shows up.

Ever Calm Liquid Deer Herd
This is a calming liquid scent and is used in a hanging Stink Stick.

This is a resealable hanging dispenser and looks to me to be well sealed and very durable.

Conquest Scent Sticks has a lot to offer the average hunter.  They have cover scents, predator scents, pig scents, and several others.  My little hunting buddy Emily said she can't wait to try some of ConQuest Venison Meat Sticks.  Man do those Venison and Jalapeno Cheese Sticks sound great.

E-Z CINCH TREESTAND LIGHT



                        E-Z CINCH TREESTAND LIGHT

The new E-Z Cinch Hunter's Safety Light is a must for everyone! It attaches with adjustable hook/loop straps to your wrist, treestand or anywhere you need a light. Works well on the water while fishing or boating too. Now you'll never be caught in the dark....
Walnut Grove Hunting Products was kind enough to share this sporting light with our blog.  I've had the light for about a month now and have found several great uses for the light.  It has been in the boat with my family and been used in several applications while fishing.

This was a great application for the "E-Z Cinch Light".

 It works great for situations where you need to be able to use both hands and still support a light.  It's designed to be used on your wrist and has an adjustable/bendable head for just the right angle.  It's very compact and light weight which I've found to be a real asset.  When I pack my gear for the treestand it will most certainly make it in the pack.  Check out their web site for this great little light and other items as well.

E-Z Cinch Light also has a red laser pointing feature as well.

Thanks to http://www.walnutgrovehunting.com/ for allowing us to review some of your products and share our finding with the readers.  If you have any products you would like to submit to the blog for review please feel free to contact us below.
Thanks,

Fishing Mobile Bay

I left the house at 4:30 am Saturday morning for some Speckled Trout fishing.  We made it to the launch just before day light and found a bay breeze blowing.  We launched just south of Fairhope pier and headed south past the Grand Hotel and did a little fishing around the piers.  After about an hour of real slow fishing we decide to try the Klondike Reef.  Nothing home at the reef either.
Gaillard Island, Mobile Bay

Joe put the boat in the wind and headed to the south side of Gaillard Island to find calm water.  After hooking a few small fish we decided to regroup and get out the cast nets.  The mullet were thick in the bay on Saturday and it didn't take long to catch all we wanted.  After fishing for an hour with the cast nets we stumbled across my nephew Chase Byrd and some of his friends fishing as well.  His group was looking to catch enough fish to put in jars to have for a quick snack for the upcoming hunting season.  We gave them our fish and we went south down to Middle Bay Light House.

It's important to be flexible when fishing and be able to shift on the fly.  At the end of the day we had a succesful trip and caught lots of fish and enjoyed spending time on the water with friends.
And it gets better, Chase jarred the mullet and shared, so when we go deer hunting don't forget the crackers.
