My youngest son continues to drive me into exploring new things.
His aptitude and passion for hunting has led us to exploring how we can maximize our deer season.
After all, you are on your quarrys home turf.
The Blood Moon features a 3” full-color viewing screen with an extremely easy to use, icon-based operating system. Image: BOG
When it comes to hunting gear, BOG is a name that pops up on my radar a lot.
The First Shot
The woods are a big place when looking for a good buck.
BOGsBlood MoonandClandestinegame cameras provide technology that helps a hunter to identify game habits, enabling more efficient hunting.
The BOG game cameras allow you to check what it captured immediately, rather than having to pull an SD card for later. Image: BOG
BOG game cameras enhance game scouting capabilities.
No one wants to set up a blind at an area devoid of activity.
In addition, each photograph includes time stamp, barometric pressure and temperature.
Choosing a game camera shouldn’t mean you have to sacrifice image quality. With the BOG game cameras, you get a discrete game camera with best-in-class imagery. Image: BOG
BOG game camera takes a lot of the guesswork out of the hunting equation.
Multiple game camera mounts are available from BOG.
This allows for quick onsite assessment of what your BOG game camera captured since placement.
The BOG Grave Digger Ground Blind is engineered from the ground up to provide the most usable space in the ground blind market. Image: BOG
This is superior to removing an SD card for evaluation back at your laptop.
Each will be offered at an MRSP of $399.95.
The BOG Hay Bale fits up to four hunters.
BOG “Circle of Death” Hay Bale ground blind under construction.
A flip-open waterfowl trap door/window is also part of the frame.
A silent zipper track system is present on the wide windows placed on each side of the blind.
The window openings can be height adjusted and mesh curtains can be deployed if extra discreteness is necessary.
The Grave Digger has a double-width door and an asymmetrical, standing height design. Image: BOG
An extra-large zippered door is convenient for easy entry/exit.
I suggest building in place versus constructing and then transporting due to weight and girth of BOG Hay Bale.
Rebar-style ground stakes anchor the BOG Hay Bale down.
BOG game camera installed on tripod mount.
Ground blinds have become favored by me over the years for a variety of reasons.
The main one is the constant presence of my youngest son on hunts since he was seven years old.
Even though he is 16 now, we continue to utilize ground blinds.
The “4 On The Floor” chair from BOG can support up to 400 lbs.
The ability for multiple people to fit comfortably inside the BOG Hay Bale is a huge plus.
One consideration often overlooked with a ground blind is scent containment.
We have had game pass only 10 yards away, oblivious to our presence.
Non-typical firing positions are easily adapted to and enhanced with BOG tripods.
A ground blind is flexible in its deployment not dependent on correct size of tree being present.
The BOG Hay Bale offers a modicum of protection from rain and/or snow.
It is no fun sitting out in the rain all day.

Lastly, a ground blind is safer than a tree stand.
Tree stands can only be so big…even two-man stands are tight on the space offered.
Gravity never takes a day off, with falls a much too common hazard with tree stands.
BOG has products that can help with your wait and make shots more likely to succeed.
The 4 On the Floor chair weighs 5.5 lbs.
and can support up to 400 lbs.
Comfortable Textilene fabric on a wide seat area adds to comfort.
The Triple Play chair is a more compact offering, weighing 4.5 lbs., yet still supports 300 pounds.
Familiar Fields
I have come to rely on BOG Great Divide andDeathGriptripods.
When used inside the Hay Bale blind, either work great for lending a steady rest when opportunity appears.
Each have characteristics i.e.
range of adjustability, head styles, weight, etc.
that lend better to certain situations.
Participants got to hone skills in a setting that resembles what will be encountered on his/her future hunt.
You were definitely not on a sterile flat range.
Up and down angles introduced further complications.
app inside the BOG Hay Bale was a no-brainer.
Conclusion
The aim of the BOG items featured is to enhance your hunting experience.
Each contribute to planning or successfully lying in wait for your quarry to arrive.
