 When does the 2009 Fall field and hunting
season begin? .... Is it the opening of small game season? Or maybe
some of the special application deadlines for the fall season? Many
people who spend their fall days in the outdoors think that it’s
GAME FAIR, held over two weekends at Armstrong Kennels Ranch, six
miles northwest of Anoka. Celebrating 28 years in 2009, GAME FAIR is
the nation’s largest outdoors, pre-hunting, family participation
event. Throughout its six days of operation, you can enjoy the
sights, sounds, and smells of the upcoming season in the
field.
Patterned after European Medieval fall festivals, GAME
FAIR is participatory. Fairgoers are encouraged to bring their dogs
(leashed) and their guns or bows (cased) so they can participate in
the numerous activities in this magnificent outdoor setting.
Activities for children of all ages include slingshots, air rifles,
archery and darts. There are also concession stands that cater to
all tastes.
Remember, August 7, 8, & 9 and August 14, 15
& 16--Make plans now to visit  booth at the 28th Annual GAME FAIR!
(Look for the big red flags!)

 Big Foot Pro Staffer Barnie Calef of
Cedar Rapids, Iowa, captured his first World Duck Calling
Championship in 1989. He added a second World Championship
trophy to his collection in 1999 and in 2000 he made
history.
When Calef walked
off the stage in Stuttgart, Arkansas in November of 2000 he
had won his third World Duck Calling Championship, and in
doing so, became the first person in 26 years to win back to
back championships. His third title, which forced him into
automatic retirement, put him into an elite fraternity of
callers. Only five others have won three world titles since
the inception of the contest 70 years ago. In addition to his
three world championships, he has 8 top ten finishes at the
world, as well as 13 state and regional titles and the 1999
K's Traditional
Championship.
When he's not
talking duck and hunting waterfowl, Barnie Calef can be found
passing on his knowledge of calling and hunting at various
seminars and promotions, as well as judging calling contests.

National Outdoor Retail Show Presents
Innovative New Products! |
|
Joe Rauscher and his wife attended
the National Outdoor Retail Show in Salt Lake City this July and had
the opportunity to paddle a number of new Kayak/Canoe models from
manufactures all over the United States. If you’ve participated in
Joe’s “Try-Before-You-Buy” kayak and canoe demos at the store, you
know how fervently we believe in getting just the right craft for
you. It’s even more important when our Joe’s expert buyers need to
choose from the hundreds of models on the market, so that we may
bring you the best selection possible. Great show! Great
boats!

Bowhunting
is ALL about preparation, and as you think through
your particular requirements and gaps in
equipment, spend a little time on www.joessportinggoods.com. We have a complete range of
equipment, clothing and accessories to make your
experience a successful one….with a little
planning.
First, read through our bow
hunting checklist. We have asked our most
experienced staff what kind of checklist they keep
for a hunt that would encounter all types of
weather and terrain, and they came up with the
recommendations on www.joessportinggoods.com/bowhunterchecklist.pdf
Now you may
not need everything on this list, as it’s rather
all-inclusive. For example, there are sections
devoted to camping equipment and cooking
equipment, and if you’re headquartered in a cabin
or motel for the hunt, you won’t need these. On
the other hand, with all these suggested products,
you won’t forget anything either….just cross out
the parts that don’t apply, and have a great
season “Out There.” |

She Safari Introduces
Outdoor Clothing just for
Women |
|
We’re excited
when a new outdoor product is introduced into the
market, but even more so when an entire line of
products comes along. With “She Safari,”
comes a long-awaited line of outdoor clothing
designed specifically by women, for
women.
In the past, women who have
participated in outdoor activities have had to
settle for one of two types of clothing: 1)
women’s styles that were made to look like outdoor
clothing, but were casual in both fabric and
construction…they just didn’t hold up, or, 2)
men’s outdoor clothing, with its inherent
masculine proportions and fit. Well, no more.
These are the real deal when it comes to fit and
function in the field.
From khaki twills to
hunter camouflage, this line of garments is made
for the outdoorswomen who is “Out There,” in the
sporting world. See them on www.joessportinggoods.com,
with descriptions and sizing charts for each
style.
