Rinehart’s New Motion-Focused Whitetail Doe Decoy

GW:  This would be legal in Michigan, because it uses only wind power to move the head.

Janesville, WI – With years of experience in crafting the most lifelike, durable and realistic archery targets in the industry, Rinehart Targets® expands the scope of their brand with the introduction of the new Rinehart Doloma Doe decoy. The new Doloma Doe, like all Rinehart Decoys, is hand-sculpted by world-class wildlife artists for unmatched realism.

Rinehart has built its reputation on using specialized, durable and life-like material—and the Doloma Doe is no exception. She features a patented design, ultra-quiet Rinehart foam for silent transport and an easy-carry folding configuration for nimble treks to and from any hunting location.

Aside from her stunningly realistic looks, the Doloma Doe’s strongest attribute is her natural head turning—and neck turning—abilities. The capability to naturally turn her head in the slightest breeze to simulate life-like movement will draw in the wariest of bucks. With the anchor rod strategically positioned behind the front legs, breeze-activated movement allows the entire body of the decoy to pivot in addition to the motion of the head and neck. The patented Doloma Doe comes with a full-carry bag that’s crafted with a “quiet-tech” fabric and features a drawstring and a shoulder strap for comfortable and stealthy transport.

From the decoy design to the carry bag, Rinehart tweaked every detail in the field to create a decoy that’s designed and proven by hunters, for hunters. The key to a consistently successful decoy is realism and movement, and the Doloma Doe from Rinehart is turning heads in both these categories.

Specifications:
Height: 29 ¼ inches
Length: 49 inches
Simulated Weight: 95 pounds
Actual Weight: 8 pounds
Tool-less Assembly and Set-Up
Constructed of Exclusive Quite Rinehart Foam
Includes Quiet Carry Bag

MSRP for the Rinehart Doloma Doe decoy is $159.99

Turkey Hunting and Wildlife Watching

By Glen Wunderlich

The alarm was set to become obnoxious at 4:30 am, but I was already up. The workman-like routine entailed making a tank of coffee, a sandwich, and a covert retreat to my spacious turkey blind. The fourth morning of the late turkey season had me wondering what type of wildlife antics would unfold before my eyes; the first three sessions did not disappoint.

First, the setup. An old hoop blind – the type that is impossible to twist back into toting shape – and large enough to accommodate two occupants and/or gear. In this case, I’d be hunting alone, so a tripod and consumer-grade Canon Vixia movie camera would occupy the window to my left.

The chosen site is in heavy soil and, as often the case in springtime, it’s wet. To combat the moisture, a layer of plastic is put down with a moving blanket over the top. Poof. A comfy living space for a long morning.

The enclosed blind keeps me and my gear dry, and before wondering what type of wimp I’ve become, I don’t know anyone who’d sit in the rain for 6 hours and risk ruining cameras. The innate beauty of even an old, sun scorched, off-color hideout is that it allows a hunter to laugh at the weather and dumbfounded animals.

I mention dumbfounded, because that’s the impulse of whitetail deer that come upon a lifeless, synthetic, but otherwise seemingly normal turkey.

Something's not right about this

Something’s not right about this

They’ll stomp their hooves and jump around in an effort to elicit some type of response. Nothing. Never. But, it sure gives me a phenomenal close-up view of the health of the local herd. A bevy of bucks sport giraffe-like antlers covered in velvet and travel together in a group. They sure seem to appreciate those luscious legumes we planted for them last fall.

And, then a coyote appears sunlit atop a ridge and standing broadside only 100 yards away. Dang it. Sure would like to save a few fawns by taking it out, but another day. Another day for sure. Today, I’m after drumsticks.

It’s easy to forget the purpose sometimes, however. Eastern bluebirds, crows, sandhill cranes, catbirds, robins, and even a few geese to keep this birder’s eyes and ears occupied. And, while aiming the camera at a couple of Canada geese, a hurried noise erupts to my right.

Here comes one outraged turkey hen marching purposefully toward my cheap rubber accomplice. So, when is the last time you’ve seen a live performance of the Mexican Hat Dance? Several complete agitated circles around the intruder and a few more choice utterances, and the satisfied boss hen ate a path into the field right in front of me. And, it’s all going on Youtube (in due time).

Pulling the trigger on a gobbler would be anticlimactic. It always is. But, for now, the show goes on.

Bad Boy Introduces First Gas-Powered Side-By-Side


COLUMBUS, GA — Bad Boy is thrilled to introduce its first gas-powered side-by-side, the Stampede 900 4×4. You can take a virtual test drive of this innovative new vehicle by clicking here.Available in Realtree Xtra, the Stampede 900 4×4 is equipped with the tools you need to get the job done, and a lot more. Every model boasts a class-leading 80HP and 59 ft.-lb of torque, along with a dual A-arm front and rear suspension and best-in-class storage capacity. That’s just the starting point. From there, each owner has the opportunity to make their Stampede unique with over 70 accessories options.
The 80HP EFI engine boasts German engineering with American ingenuity and has more power than you’ll ever need. When combined with an optimal power-to-weight ratio, the 80HP engine helps you do more, more efficiently. Stampede’s robust engine uses 846cc of displacement to deliver more power, from an engine that knows how to use it wisely. The electronic fuel injection means better fuel efficiency for more time riding and less time fueling up. The EFI engines deliver the right amount of fuel at the right time, to make the most of your ride.

Thanks to 59ft-lb of torque, the Stampede can accelerate, climb, tow and conquer. The engine delivers big-time torque throughout its rpm range to help you dominate any challenge. The Stampede was precision-tuned by the same hands and minds that make engines for high-performance sports cars. Germans know engines, and they built this one to make sure you get every ounce of Stampede’s torque, horsepower and acceleration.

Stampede can take a ton of punishment – and doesn’t mind dishing it out, either. But you won’t feel an ounce of it thanks to precision-tuned four-wheel independent suspension, which features 9.5″ of travel in the front and 10.5″ in the rear. From springs to shocks, our suspension system effortlessly conquers challenging terrain.

Making turns over rugged terrain can throw drivers around the inside of a cab – unless they’re driving a Stampede. The front and rear sway bars reduce body roll while you’re cornering, so you get all the handling you need without sacrificing a smooth ride.

Stampede’s selectable AWD is ready when you are. Coupled with precision tuned clutches to provide maximum engine braking to slow the vehicle and reduce brake wear.

Additional features include a customizable extended cab, specialized storage, 2,000-pound towing capacity and 600-pound capacity tilt bed.
