Going Outdoors? Check Out the Insect Defend Patch

/in , , , /by

If your outdoor as much as me you know the value of avoiding those pesky biting bugs!

You know the sound,

BBBBBBbZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

There’s NO Need to GO Insane as you sprint to your vehicle or home.

If your hands are swatting and your arms are flailing your loosing valuable time fishing, hunting or ATVing!

Worse,,,, you likely alerted that Gobbler headed your way after trying to sit still for the last two hours!
I know the spring Gobbler season is all but over but I have been wearing these Insect Defend Patches with good success.

I still wore my camo with long sleeves and gloves but the squeeters just seemed to move on and not “bug” me as much.

I still sprayed some “deet” on my outer clothes as an additional layer against biting bugs.
I even had my Therma-cell running when the hoard of bugs attacked at the first sound of a gobble!

All in all my “bug defense system” worked extremely well. Start with my Bug Bite Patch, some deet on the clothing and my Thermo-cell at the ready for those deep wood or swamp conditions.

At the beach using just the patch works fine as its waterprooof.

These Insect Defend Patches are :  All Natural – NO DEET – Mosquito Bite Deterrent

         Only ingredient 75mg Vitamin B1 (Thiamine)        

Apply directly on your skin min. 2 hours before exposure to Mosquitoes 

    B1 discreetly comes out through your pores as you perspire

    Mosquitoes don’t like how you taste      

 The more you perspire…. the better it works !      

 Lasts for 36 Hours     

Leave it on!   24 hr timed release formula with a 12 hour residual effect     

Safe for Children as young as 1 year old     

 Simply place in middle of back to avoid choking risk

  I put  patch on today a 4am for turkey hunting. (never got bit)

I cut the lawn about 3pm with just shorts and a tee and never got bit once!

If you enjoy the outdoors vote MPP Frank Klees

/in , , , /by

I caught the interview between Host Thomas Pigeon and guest MPP Frank Klees during this week’s episode of Canada in the Rough TV show.

With the upcoming Ontario Progressive Conservative Party Leadership nomination in early June I wanted to offer my support for MPP Frank Klees.

During the Canada in the Rough interview I learned Mr. Klees is a dedicated and committed twenty-five year conservative member. He also operated a successful business 14 years prior to that. Frank understands what the outdoor person wants and how government decisions affect our lifestyle.

Klees understands what it takes to run a successful business and how government regulations can hinder or more importantly help a business prosper. Best of all Klees understand what an outdoor lifestyle means to individuals and families who share a passion for the outdoors.

The PC leadership convention takes place in early June so become a registered PC member and vote for the man who will continue to support your outdoor lifestyle. It may be the best $10 you spend this year.

If you want your vote to count do it NOW,

 yep, right NOW it’s that important.

It takes about two minutes to register as a Provincial Conservative member http://www.frankklees.com/join

It’s your lifestyle and your way of enjoying Ontario’s outdoors. This is YOUR chance to protect what we have now and in the future. It takes two minutes right from your chair and only cost $10 bucks!

Here your chance to preserve & promote your OUTDOOR lifestyle Join the Ontario PCs

First Gobbler tags filled

/in , , /by

Alfie’s 22 pound gobbler22 lb Eastern Gobbler Well it took a couple of mornings but my first gobbler tag is filled. A two year old Tom, 22 pounds, 8 inch beard and one inch spurs. Not my largest and not my smallest Tom over 21 years of hunting gobblers in Ontario. 

 

Alfie filled his first tag the day before on a 22 pounder also. 

I leave Tuesday for Montana to chase some Merriam Gobblers with my Excalibur crossbow to continue my Turkey Grand Slam with a crossbow.

When I return hopefully tag #2 will be sealed after using my Excalibur crossbow.

This ones in the freezer for an upcoming BBQ! 

Good luck to all the other hunters.
