Most Memorable Hunting Adventures:
Tina - My first time in the tree with my first Bowtech. It was several seasons back, hunting in south Georgia, over a food plot we’d planted. We’d been watching a few does all evening when, right at last light, an absolute MONSTER 10 point buck comes slowly walking in and finally gives me a shot at 30yds. I spent what seemed like forever trying to see through my peep sight, followed by a clean miss which STILL haunts my dreams today.
David- Busting a 250+ lb boar hog with my bow while walking through the woods with my daughter Kelly, when she was only 4yrs old. Luckily, I saw him coming a good ways off so, I had time to pick her up over the bushes to let her watch him walking through the woods. We knew right away he was a shooter and we could see he was going to cross a fire-break about 30 yards from us, where Kelly would actually be able to see the shot too. So, I ran over and sat her down on a stump, just in time to take the shot as he stepped out and with a solid “thwack”, he spun and vanished back into the palmettos. We gave him about an hour then, Kelly actually blood trailed him herself, then she spent the next 2hrs laughing at me as I tried to get that porker into the back of the truck. ---suddenly having a jacked-up Ford on 38’s wasn’t so cool!
(There’s a pic of Kelly and “her boar” in Boar Hunter Magazine-volume3, issue1)
Kelly- My first pick was the hunt from my dad’s answer. So, my next most memorable hunt was when my dad and his friend Big-Kelly caught five hogs at one time and I got to watch from the four-wheeler. They both got covered in mud and Big-Kelly got a face full of mud. I told them, “it didn’t smell like mud”. We all had a lot of fun!

Where we come from:
Growing up in central Florida, we were both lucky enough to come from families that absolutely loved the outdoors, hunting or fishing almost every weekend. We met in high school and we’ve been having a blast hunting and fishing together ever since. When other kids were going out on dates to the movies or the mall, we were loading up David’s old Florida Curr dog “Bush” and bulldog “Gator” and heading to the woods to catch some hogs or going out to run deer with our deer dogs or going bass fishing, it seemed like we were always into something. As Kids, we both loved watching nature and hunting shows but, our passion for filming and editing outdoor adventures first started in the late 90’s when we had developed one of our first hunting products, a revolutionary new Kevlar protective vest for hog dogs that became known as the “Original Razorback Cutvest”. We needed a promotional video to show the product in action so, we just started filming all our hunts and before long we had finished our video, but along the way we had discovered that we loved the added challenge of filming our hunts. From then on, a video camera was just always part of our normal hunting gear. Now, our biggest passions are passing on our knowledge and love of the outdoors to our children, documenting outdoor adventures and enjoying the time we spend with family and friends in the outdoors.

Tac Wear Performance Apparel-www.tacwear.com
After personally using and thoroughly testing these guys performance apparel on all of our adventures for the past year, we can confidently tell you, this is hands-down the best hunting garments we have ever used- period. Comfort and scent control play a huge part in our game plan to success and these clothes are amazing. You've got to try this stuff for yourself! It wicks moisture away like crazy, has odor eliminating silver technology (that will never wash out) and what we like the most, they’re tuff as hell! (No more picks and runs like traditional performance apparel)......NO SWEAT-NO STINK-NO PROBLEM!
Bushnell www.bushnell.com
Bushnell’s legendary optics are always a key to our success in the field. We’ve used and trusted Bushnell gear for years and we know our Bushnell binoculars, scopes and rangefinders will never let us down. On the Campbell Outdoor Challenge circuit, teams are constantly challenged with hunting unfamiliar terrain and using Bushnell’s Onix GPS with satilite overlays gives our team a clear advantage.

Ranger Joe’s has long been known as the “Home of the world’s finest combat gear”, but they also have a ton of really cool gear that’s great for hunting and camping too.
