SiOnyx: Aurora Night Vision Camera

First, I would like to thank Andrea Crider for the opportunity to write about my firsthand experience with the Aurora by SiOnyx. Although I am currently employed by SiOnyx, as a female archery deer hunter, I was especially interested in this product when I first started being involved with the company. I personally could relate to the thought of walking to my stand in the dark and hearing every hunter’s favorite sound; the squirrel, but not knowing what it was due to lack of

November Hunting Gear Starting Line-up

November never used to hold much significance to me until I became a hunter. It is runner up to September (elk season) and now that I have figured out the best hunting gear system for cold months, I look forward to it more and more each year. Most of my archery November deer hunting, for both whitetail and mule deer are from a tree stand so finding gear that keeps me warm and comfortable in extreme conditions has been a top factor in my big-game bowhunting success. I am conti

Book Review: How to Hunt Like a Girl, Carly Brasseux

As more and more women are getting involved with hunting, it’s important that they have resources to gain knowledge about the basics. While there is a lot of information on the internet, it’s hard to find a single place to start which can be frustrating and overwhelming. Huntress View team member and founder of MissPursuit.com, Carly Brasseux, recently published her e-book “How to Hunt Like a Girl” and provided me with a copy. Since Huntress View's goal is to provide informat

Women's First Lite Merino Wool Base Layers Review

When I first started hunting about 13 years ago, my hunting attire consisted of bulky men’s camo over a couple pairs of long johns as base layers, depending on the weather. Needless to say, that system just didn’t work for me and I was happy to see that soon women’s hunting apparel companies started to appear, like SHE Outdoor Apparel and Prois. But one thing was still lacking for me: good quality women’s base layers. Base layers are crucial when the temperatures really start

Product Review: Stampede Style Sunglasses by Skeleton Optics

Recently I was sent a pair of sunglasses from Skeleton Optics to test and review. The style I have been testing is the "Stampede" style - Breast Cancer Pink Edition. A portion of the sale from each pair of these sunglasses goes towards Breast Cancer Awareness programs. Up until this past summer, I was only ever purchasing cheap sunglasses. I refused to spend money on more expensive pairs. My husband encouraged me to purchase a better pair and I fell in love. Now after trying

Alpine Innovations GunSlicker - Product Review

Alpine Innovations makes the GunSlicker, which is a packable protective cover for either a rifle or a shotgun. It is lightweight and waterproof, keeping your firearm safe from rain, dust and mud. I recently tested the GunSlicker and am excited to share my results! My Results The only other type of gun cover I have used while transporting my firearms in the field is a gun sock, and when I tried the GunSlicker, I immediately noticed its advantages in comparison to a gun sock.

Charcofresh Scent Eliminating Lotion Product Review

A good scent control regimen is one of the most important things a hunter can have in order to be successful in the field. Nothing is going to be 100% effective, but there are certainly things that you can do and products that you can use to decrease your odds of being winded by the game that you are pursuing. This spring the Huntress View team put Charcofresh Scent Eliminating Lotion to the test and had great results so far! How It Works Charcofresh contains Activated Charco

What Not To Wear

As hunters we know the contents of our pack can be crucial to our hunt or our survival. What you pack on your international hunting experience is no different. This not only applies to your equipment, but also applies to your clothing. I am not going to lecture (in this blog) about knowing your weather conditions, terrain, etc. The focus here is being culturally appropriate for the country you are visiting. There is an emphasis on visiting. Though you are a hunter, you are al

infRACKtion Whitetail Mineral Product Review

If you are looking for a great mineral attractant to help attract deer, increase antler size, and maintain a healthy deer herd, infRACKtion Whitetail Mineral Attractant by Daybreak Outdoors is a great option. I started using infRACKtion this fall and saw results immediately. I put it in a high traffic area where several deer trails met going into a 5 acre turnip plot. While hunting on the last day of bow season I was able to harvest my biggest buck to date because he stopped

Prois Pro-Edition and Generation X Pants - Product Review

Having great hunting gear is essential for serious hunters. From my experience with hunting I have found that Prois is one of the best when it comes to women’s camo! Their gear is cut to fit a woman and they pay extra attention to the little details that really matter to the serious huntress. The Pro-Editions Pants and Generation X Pants are just 2 of the many Prois items that I keep in my gear bag year round. You may wonder what the difference is between these & what types o

ThermaCELL Heated Insoles Review

When the temperature starts to drop during mid to late hunting season, keeping my feet warm is critical in order for me to sit in my tree stand for long periods of time. I have tried many different boots, wearing multiple socks and Toasty Toes in my boots, but none of them have worked for me when it starts to get in the 20's and 30's. If this is also the case for you, then I highly recommend trying the ThermaCELL Heated Insoles! The temperature this morning was 27 degrees w

Primos Bombshell Turkey Call Review

In the past I was always a little hesitant to get into turkey hunting. There are so many different calls and I didn't feel confident that I would be able to call one in. I have used slate calls to successfully call in turkeys but I was so excited when I found the Bombshell by Primos. It is by far the easiest and best sounding call that I have used. It is a push/pull hen turkey call that yelps, cuts, and purrs just by pushing or tapping the rail. Push the rail to yelp, tap it
