November...Hunting's Defining Month
November…  The mere mention of the word conjures up mental images of grey, drizzly days, and crisp, bone-chilling mornings.  This is the defining month for big game hunting - the month against which all other hunting seasons are compared.  We prepare for November, we hunt in November, and then for months we re-live November in our conversations, photo albums and wild games dinners. 

Whether you are hunting locally or distant lands this November, prepare to be comfortable by wearing quality clothing and footwear.  Joe’s offers clothing and footwear by Danner, Filson - (10% OFF thru Dec 25th!), Irish Setter, and others.  There is nothing better than being warm, dry and comfortable while hunting in the cool, sometimes inclement weather of November. 

When traveling great distances for your big game adventure, consider protecting your equipment with products from Kalispel, Browning and Vanguard, manufacturers of super-strong, lockable, airport approved gun cases.

The Ultimate Success in Ice Fishing.
Ice Fishing is right around the corner.  The days of sit-on-the-bucket-and-chop-a-hole fishing are gone.  Each year, more and more fishermen have switched to mega-mobility for the ultimate in ice fishing success.  Even a fixed plywood ice house is unnecessary.  Ice Fishers can now be mobile by packing lightweight, canvas houses, fish finding electronics and power augers behind a solid 4-wheel ATV or snowmobile.  With this mobility, multiple holes can be drilled per day in upwards of a dozen locations until a prime fishing area is found.

To join the ranks of these piscatorial ice nomads, equip yourself with solid ice electronics from Vexilar, Marcum, or Aqua-Vu and one of a number of portable ice shacks by Otter, Aqua-Vu or Frabill.  Then, go drill some holes in the ice!
