Nose Jammer Spray

Big, mature bucks are among the toughest animals to fool; you seldom get a second chance. That’s precisely the premise behind Nose Jammer Spray ($15/6 ounces), developed by Minnesota outfitter John Redmond.

Made with natural tree extracts, Nose Jammer is designed to overwhelm a big game animal’s olfactory system, overpowering its ability to detect and track human scent.

MAD Hyper Growl Deer Call

Mark Drury discovered the “buck growl” deer vocalization in 2006 and MAD used it to create one of the hottest deer calls ever. For 2011, MAD’s patent-pending Hyper Growl ($28) has taken the next step by emulating the way deer produce sound.

The addition of a “Hyper Ventilator Tube”—simulating a deer’s nasal passage—creates what MAD is calling the most-realistic deer sounds ever recorded, and a reed system that cannot be “locked up.” The Hyper Growl includes a lanyard and instructional DVD.

Code Blue Adds Silver-Zyme Technology

Good news for scent-conscious bowhunters everywhere: Code Blue has added Silver-Zyme Technology to its already powerful EliminX scent-eliminating formula. Silver-Zyme combines nano-silver and enzyme technology, two of the most effective scent-killing technologies, doubling the scent-killing power of EliminX.

Silver-Zyme utilizes silver molecules that rapidly kill multiple odor causing bacteria, viruses, and mold while simultaneously recharging itself. Silver-Zyme can be found in most of the EliminX line, including the popular EliminX 360° that can be sprayed from any angle.

Elusive Wildlife Technologies XLR 100 Bow Light

Where legal, night hunting with bow and arrow is one of the most-exciting aspects of our sport. The XLR 100 bow lights from Elusive Wildlife Technologies (800-780-6861) are guaranteed to illuminate the entire target at 100 yards for positive identification. The bow light screws into the stabilizer receiver on the bow, and has a wired remote switch that attaches to the grip. The XLR series lights come in red, green, blue, and white, and they are available in one or two mode. The XLR series lights come with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee; if the lights do not meet customer satisfaction, the purchase price and shipping costs are refunded.

EWT uses LED technology to produce specific colored lights that most animals find difficult to see—giving hunters the ability to illuminate the animal without spooking it. EWT uses high quality lithium rechargeable batteries and LEDs that give the hunter an average of four hours of continuous light per battery; the XLR 100 bow lights can also be powered by CR123s or AAA batteries. The bow light packages include two lithium rechargeable batteries, a smart charger with a wall adapter and car adapter, a flashlight tail cap allowing the light to be used as a flashlight, and two remote switches. Weight is 6.5 ounces, allowing it to function as standard stabilizer.
