Dead Down Wind
Five years ago while working at Cabelas in Rogers, MN, a new product caught my eye. Maybe it was the shiny orange bottle? Maybe it was the catchy logo? I’m not really sure what attracted me to it initially, but after reading the science behind and using Dead Down Wind Scent elimination products, I was hooked.
After doing a bit more research on DDW some interesting facts came to light. At first glance, DDW may not seem any different than the myriad of scent prevention products littering your truck floor. But in reality, a key point sets them apart.

This is the first season that I have been using Cuddeback’s newest addition to it’s line of high quality trail cameras, the Capture IR. I put my first set of cameras out in the middle of May thinking that it would take me some time to get used to the camera and to work out any of the bugs. After the initial warm up period, I can honestly say that this is the easiest camera I have ever used. This is saying alot from a self diagnosed trail camera addict!
The plans were finalized for my first late season mule deer hunt in Idaho. My gear was ready, my shooting was spot on, and my body was in excellent shape. I had one slight problem though. While I had footwear to cover most conditions, footwear required for a 5 day mountain hunt in November I did not, and I only had a week to go!! Cheap boots would not do on this trip, and all my research was pointing towards a great boot company from Montana. Kenetrek boots were my choice, and what a great choice that was!
JEROD: “The legs feed the wolf”. That statement was getting repeated in my head over and over during the last stages of my most recent 50 mile triathlon in the wilds of northern Minnesota. Fatigue had consumed every cell in my body and I was running on pure grit and mental determination. When I finally crossed the finish line, I knew I was one step closer in my evolution towards becoming the complete sportsman.
