Personal Assessment of product
The most important thing to me when hunting from a hang on stand is comfort.  I believe, when spending long hours in a stand, comfort keeps me sharp when the moment of opportunity arrives.  The Millennium M100 is the most comfortable stand I’ve ever hunted. The comfort Tech Seat is made of Textline non-stretch fabric, which does not absorb water, and is quiet to the touch.
Another feature important to me is the weight and portability of a hang on stand.  The Millennium M100 only weighs 14 lbs. It has built in shoulder straps, and the ability to fold completely flat. This stand is a breeze to pack in, even on long trips.  The Millennium M100 stand attaches to the tree in a completely different manner than any other stand I’ve used.  From start to finish it took me less than 10 minutes using the Millennium M200 stick ladder and the M100 stand.  First, I hung the climbing sticks.  I then attached the receiver (shown in the picture above) to the tree by the chain included.  Then it was just a matter of sliding the male fitting on the stand into the quick mount receiver, and the stand was ready to hunt.  Another benefit to this system is that you can increase the value by purchasing and hanging several receiver mounts  in different areas.  Carry the stand with you and slide the stand into the receiver in place and hunt.  This allows you the mobility to hunt different areas with just one stand. The stand literally slides into the quick mount in seconds.


Recommendation
The ability to hunt several locations with the same fixed position stand is a great benefit and makes the Millennium M100 an incredible value.  I have never experienced the level of comfort and portability this stand provides and would recommend you to give it a try.

Since we got back from our Quebec caribou excursion at Wedge Hills Lodge, things have been pretty hectic with the start of archery season quickly approaching.  But before I officially switch into whitetail mode for the next six weeks, I wanted to take a little time to reflect on our trip up north and show everyone a few of my favorite photos.

The extreme remoteness of Wedge Hills Lodge made just getting to camp an adventure!  Our journey required a 22-hour ride in the truck, a 12-hour train ride, a 2 hour bush plane flight, and even a ride on a ferry across the St. Lawrence River.  I'd have to say that the bush plane was definitely my favorite of the four though.  The views were incredible as we skimmed across the hilltops and huge expanse of lakes and tundra!

Caribou hunting in Quebec depends largely on locating migrating herds, and after our arrival, we wasted no time in getting out on the river to see if we could find some animals.  The George River is a very large and swift river, and our guide Joe was an expert at maneuvering through the treacherous rapids.


DSCF1553


Our first couple of days yielded a sighting of a huge black bear, but no caribou.  The weather was fairly warm and the black flies were tenacious!  We spent some time exploring the mountains surrounding the river, knowing that migrating herds could show up any day.


DSCF1517


A ThermaCELL and a headnet were the best ways to keep the black flies at bay.


IMG_0702

On the third morning, we were greeted with very cold temperatures and an eerie fog that had settled into the river valley.  We all hoped that the turn in weather would have the caribou on the move and produce a turn in our luck as well.  If nothing else, we knew the morning's frost should have killed the majority of black flies, and that alone was enough to lift our spirits.


IMG_0760


As we motored up the river, several gray figures were spotted moving on the mountain side and then large antlers flashed through the thick alders on the river bank.  We excitedly beached the canoe and set out to see if we could get a shot at the startled bulls.   We knew the archery gear would have been futile for this situation, so the rifle was the only weapon on this stalk.  After a series of short sprints over the boulder-strewn tundra, a shot presented itself, and I downed the first caribou of the trip.  The Wired Crew was on the board and we were all ecstatic!


IMG_0780


After a few photos, Joe showed us the best way to quarter the caribou and prepare the meat for the pack out to the canoe.  And with more herds in the area, we made short work of the butchering and got back to hunting!








IMG_0807


Climbing the adjacent mountain gave us a great vantage point, and we soon located a group of three large bulls slowly feeding toward a creek below.  One was a massive white bull with wide, sweeping antlers and we all agreed that he was the one to go after.


IMG_0813


A short time later, we were perched on the crest of the mountain as those same wide antlers slowly bobbed toward us and the rest is history!  Jason sealed the deal on a monster caribou and Rob shot a great bull immediately after him.  The footage is tremendous and you won't want to miss it when this episode airs in late October!


IMG_0833


It was a fantastic feeling to have all shot bulls in the same day, and as we packed the two big bulls off of the mountain, we retold the stories of the hunts and recounted how incredible the day had been.  We reached the canoe completely exhausted, and were really looking forward to the ride back to camp.

Happiness is a boat-load of antlers!


After such a successful trip to a stunningly beautiful place, I can't help but feel extremely blessed to have been given the opportunity to be a part of it.  It's not the boxes full of meat or the antlers we brought home that make me feel that way either.  It's the countless memories we made and the time I was able to share with a couple of great friends and members of the Wired Team...and that's what getting 'Wired' is all about!  I'd like to send a huge thank you out to all of our fans, friends, and supporters!  Good luck during the upcoming archery season!

Wedge Hills Lodge Outfitter Review

Date: Septebmer 8 - 14, 2009
Location: Northern Quebec
Species: Caribou
Outfitter - Wedge Hills Lodge




This was our first trip ever in pursuit of Caribou. One thing that I was looking for when I was researching outfitters was I wanted a true adventure. Well, that is what we got with Wedge Hills Lodge. I met several representatives from Wedge Hills Lodge at the Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show in Harrisburg, and after meeting them, I was impressed with their professionalism so decided to check their references.
map_wedgehills
Map of Location of Wedge Hills Lodge


After some research and phone calls to references I had made up my mind, we would book our trip with Wedge Hills Lodge in way up Northern Quebec! When I say way up, I mean way up. This would be a 22 hour car ride from northwest Pennsylvania to Sept-Iles Quebec, then a 12 hour train ride the following day and a 1 hour 45 minute float plan to camp.

Getting Ready To Board The Train

Almost time for the last leg of the journey.
When traveling on a trip this long, lots of things can go wrong. But I am happy to say that the trip couldn't have been more smooth and Wedge Hills Lodge was meticulous with all the arrangements including, hotels, flights and more. Most people who know me, know that I am a planner and leaving a trip like this up to the outfitter to make many of the plans was difficult for me. That being said, I couldn't have done it any better myself, all the arrangements were made and taken care of.

Lodging and Food
The lodging was very comfortable and with a five bedroom rustic cabin complete with a wood stove, refrigerator, hot water, electricity and more. We ate breakfast and dinner every night in the main lodge with the rest of the hunters. The food was fantastic and believe me when I say, when it came to the food, I didn't get cheated! Everything from chicken to filet mignon.
Lodging
Hunting
The hunting at Wedge Hills Lodge is on the George River and mostly done from boat. Guides take you up and down the river in very comfortable boats glassing the mountain sides for migrating caribou.

The George River scenery is breathtaking with lots of caribou. We had the good fortune of timing the migration and seeing lots of caribou. Since the three of us hunting were fairly young and foolish, we wanted to get out of the boat and see the terrain. Our guide Joe was more than accommodating and dropped us off in promising locations.

glassing
I will let some of the following photos speak for themselves as the three of us brought home 4 caribou and could have easily brought home our limit of 6 with the rifle, but we were doing it the hard way with the bows. I personally harvested a giant white caribou that I am sure will be a trophy of a lifetime.

Our trip with Wedge Hills Lodge was a fantastic experience and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for the adventure of a lifetime. The cook, guides, owner, camp manager were all more than accommodating and committed to our stay with them. You can visit them online at www.WedgeHillsLodge.com.

The Dream Came True

Mark Biter, New Enterprise, PA


After having 4 girls born in to our family and not very interested in hunting it was a shock, and the beginning of a dream when our son was born. In April of 1990, it all started. I had just bought a new Winchester model 1300 Wild Turkey Federation shotgun and was looking forward to using it and getting my first long beard.


That morning it was raining but that was not going to stop me. As I headed up the mountain I kept thinking about what might be in store for me this day. I think all turkey hunters dream of that big long beard strutting his way toward our calls.


After only a few minutes with my back against an old tree, I heard the sound all turkey hunters love to hear, a loud gobble. After a few calls on my mouth call, in came the gobbler. After walking to about 20 yards he stood there it seemed just waiting for me to shoot. As I ran to the bird, there it was, finally a long beard. He was 19 pounds with a 9-inch beard. I was so excited. As I was walking out of the woods I came across another hunter. He came over and congratulated me. I told him it was my first long beard and first turkey with this gun and I even got my first son just a few weeks ago. My statement to him may have seemed strange but to me it was something special.


Now this was my dream, to someday see another long beard taken, but this time by my son. As he grew I would share with him stories about hunting. We would lie on the floor in our den and say, tell me another story, and of course I would. But I longed for the time he would be old enough to get a license and hunt with me. Other long beards were to be mine in the following years but in the back of my mind was the day my son would be old enough to hunt turkey's with me. Finally, April 9, 2002, my son Mark turned 12. After completing the Hunter Safety course we went to the hardware store and bought his first license. Only a few days were left until the opening day of Spring Gobbler season. ворошиловский стрелок изнасилования


That morning finally arrived. As we drove to our hunting spot my mind went back 12 years ago when this moment was but a mere dream. After getting our gear together, we paused outside of our truck to thank the Lord for this special time together. We walked up the steep trail stopping every so often just listening for a gobble. After a couple of hours nothing was heard and we decided to move up to the next hollow. After a few calls, we heard what we had been waiting for. Not one but two gobblers answering our calls. I whispered to my son, if they both come in, you take the one on the left and I will take the one on the right. Only a few minutes went by until 2 big long beards appeared. My son followed his bird with his gun as I followed mine. I had told him I would not shoot until he does. The birds kept walking and I could not understand why he would not shoot. I slightly turned my head toward him and said "shoot", and he whispered, "Limb in the way" and before I could get my head back on my gun, BANG, went his Mossberg 20 gauge. My bird was on the way out of there but flopping on the ground out in front of us was my son's first gobbler. I will never forget hearing him shout, "I got him, Dad, I got him."


We both walked down to the gobbler and began to inspect the beautiful bird, noticing all the colors of his head and feathers. He was a nice gobbler with a beard of 9 inches, 1-inch spurs and weighing 18 pounds. My son gave me a hug and said "Thanks, Dad, for taking me turkey hunting". We stood there and bowed our heads and thanked the Lord for this special time. I was not to get a turkey that day, but I think I was happier that day than I was the day I got my first long beard.



Turkey


As I walked back to the truck with my son and his gobbler over his shoulder, I thought back to that day 12 years earlier and said, "My dream came true." I don't know but maybe in his dreams is the thought, someday I will take my son turkey hunting too. Why, the Lord willing, maybe I will be along for that hunt too.

Clarion County 15 Point Buck

By Geary Buterbaugh, Knox PA


It was the 2nd day of Pa regular rifle season (12-2-08). My youngest son Shawn taken a 6 point buck on the morning of the first day. As for my hunt so far, I had seen 3 different bucks on the first day but I could not
tell if these were legal or I just couldn't get my gun on the deer in time to make a good shot. I had seen a very quick glimpse of this buck on the first day but I thought he was gone forever- possibly could be shot by
another hunter in the area.


As I thought about the day before, I kept focused on the woods in hopes to see a big buck. I knew of a 12 point with drop tines in the area. This was the buck I had hoped to see. The morning had passed. I was getting tired and a little frustrated since I did not see any deer at all. It was 12 noon, I decided to go back to my house for lunch. My son wanted a ride into town to visit a friend. I came home got back into my hunting gear and returned to the woods. It was now 1pm. Still no deer - my mind started to wander. I thought I seen something cross the right away. I focused on the next right away - did not see anything. I looked down and back up and about 70 yards away - a legal buck walking up through the thicket. I held my Remington 7600 30-06 gun on the next - small opening. When I seen hair in my redfield scope I squeezed the
trigger. Down the deer went. I seen the deer thrashing around- so I fired again -that time I missed clean. The deer didn't move so I waited about 5 minutes. This was the longest 5 minutes of my life while my heart was racing. I walked up to the deer at approx 2pm. The deer I thought was just a legal buck - was a huge 15 point with a 23 5/8 spread. I called everyone on my cell phone contact list! I have never had a big buck before. I never had a need to have one scored. I looked on the Pa Game commission web site - there was very few big bucks posted for Clarion County, Beaver Twp or in WMU 2D. This was truly my hunt of a lifetime!

 Last year I spoke to a gentlemen over the phone who had a product he was interested in me trying out while goose hunting. This would be Mr. Larry Juhl from Janesville, Wisconsin. Needless to say we had quite a lengthy conversation about geese.  One conversation lead to another and soon he was telling me about a program he initiated in Janesville to control the nuisance goose population called GEESE PLEASE, (Private Lands Enrolled As Shooting Environments).

Geese Please is a program that Larry Juhl himself implemented to maintain local goose populations at established quota levels and to safely pursue the geese that take up residency within the city limits. These geese are not otherwise subject to public hunting pressure.  The program must have Land owner permission, police department authorization for firearm discharge and Parks Department discretion for time, place and duration.  The hunters must adhere to all Federal and State waterfowl regulations.  Larry has taken great pride in this program and it's success thus far. But not only has he implemented a SAFE and controlled environment for hunter's to take nuisance geese with the city limits, Larry has devoted much of his time in helping with the nuisance resident geese in many ways. such as a make shift fence that he installs at the local parks to help with waste left behind by the geese. The fence works to keep geese off the grass. This is only one way he has worked to help preserve and contain the quarry that he so passionately pursues.

In a conversation I had told Larry that this was such a great story line. Since you read so much in the National newspapers how so many cities in order to control their resident goose  populations are gassing, sniping, and using various means to kill nuisance geese, rather than finding a way, if possible t control them by hunting as Larry has. He then graciously and without hesitation invited me and the Wired Outdoors crew out to hunt with him and his friends.  Of course, I agreed!

We loaded up the Wired Outdoors vehicle and headed into a world of the unknown.  We traveled through the night to miss traffic and meet the demands of our host Mr. Larry Juhl. Of which may I say had a very detailed itinerary that was sent prior to our departure.

The trip would take us from Hollidaysburg, Pennsylvania to Janesville, Wisconsin. A town where kindness spewed from it's residents.  The crew met up with our host, Larry Juhl at the Baymont Inn. After quick introductions and a few jokes...which we soon learned was a trademark of Larry's, we were off to tour Janesville. Myself and Don Ott with camera in hand were escorted in Larry's vehicle while fellow crew members Eddie Wise and Bob Miller followed in tow. We toured the parks where the geese take up residency and where a detailed explanation of how a man that loves nature and an avid waterfowl hunter would become a legend in his own town. Every where we stopped you would hear people say, "Oh you are Larry..so and so hunted with you." Or they knew him the moment he stepped in and greeted him with a smile.

Larry is the Owner and Inventor of the Smart Stick and Goose Tree Decoy System. He lives for his Faith, family and love of waterfowl hunting.  Assuring that anyone in his company will be given every opportunity to expand his or her knowledge, enjoy a clean joke, and be overwhelmed with a good story. His mere presence will put a smile on your face and to harvest a few geese...well that's just a bonus!

We visited a few of the parks that held the geese. Janesville is known for it's Parks, appropriately named "The City of Parks". Some of the parks we visited to name only a few, Montery Park, Jeffris Park, and Rotary Gardens. It didn't take long to see why the geese are considered a nuisance. With the water and grass it is a natural attractant for geese and there was sign of them everywhere.

While on our trip, Larry gave us a grand tour of some of Wisconsin's landmark treasures. Black Hawk Monument, Veterans Plaza, Rock River, the Milton House and of course, Horicon Marsh. This was worth the trip in itself to see history of the Black Hawk War, The Milton House history of the underground railroad and the famous waterfowl mecca of Horicon Marsh. Every town we stopped in had something to see and Larry made sure we saw it.

Now the trip wasn't all site seeing we went to hunt. Hunt we did! starting with the first evening and every morning. The sites were seen all between the morning and evening hunts.  Which meant we were very busy during the trip. We enjoyed every minute!

The hunts were each filled with birds in the air, some dropped from the bark of our barrels and some just gave a look and kept on going.

But I can safely say we learned something new each time afield, met knew people and made many friends. To name a few, Lee Chiroff and Mick from the Sportsmen Channel, Paul Juhl, Erik Olson, Carl, John,Dave, the guys from Dakota Decoys, (Kyle you will like this..) Jarod who hunted geese with a bow, and many many more!!

Then we met Mr. Ron Maass our host in North Central Wisconsin who so graciously welcomed us to hunt in his own waterfowl paradise literally in his backyard! I am talking pit blind, goose food plots, beautiful pond, waterfowlers dream! This man was so nice, and the warmest smile on his face. Even while encountering a personal hardship health wise you would never know. His dog Chloe and Drake were instant friends and even had a joint retrieve on birds we dropped on our hunt.

Another part of the hunt I really enjoyed were meeting some of the adorable youngsters already involved and carrying on our passion for waterfowl hunting. There was little Hunter Juhl, Paul's son and Larry's grandson. Now he can call a goose already at 5 years old. Then there was Nolan the size of a peanut who loved the hunting adventure! And we can't forget Kaylin. The little girl who wasn't a bit shy. A little pistol who loves to spend time with her dad afield. She wasn't very happy with her dad though cause she "wanted to hunt with the girl", meaning me, and we were in opposite blinds that evening. My understanding from Erik is that she scolded him the whole way home about it.

Now back to hunting. I know all of the Wired Outdoors crew were anxiously waiting to see the Goose Tree in action.  Well, let me tell you this...it works, it works and oh boy does it work!!!  In a nut shell the Goose Tree was again invented by Larry who had told me that the concept came to mind with his previous army helicopter pilot experience. When landing a pilot is focusing on the "X", which all we waterfowl hunters know that is where the geese land...on the "X".  So if you have geese simulating they are landing via a decoy, geese will follow.  The idea of this breaks the mold of common decoy set-up. Instead of the geese coming in directly at you, with using the goose tree they are coming in about 30 yards in front of you sideways. Thus the geese are focusing on the tree and "honoring" the already landing geese. The blinds were bale blinds that fit anywhere from 2 to any number of  hunters custom to fit, set up in a triangle safely distanced apart. The family groups of decoys were stratigically placed with a goose tree approximately 30 yards from each blind. When Larry and the guys were working the geese, they banked at the Goose Trees, thus giving the hunters a shot. Here is another quick example...shooting hours are over. Tearing down decoys. The only thing left standing was the goose tree. Don was out in the middle of the field with Nolan and Allen taking the tree down. A flock of 5 geese came in. Drake, Hunter, Paul and I were near the blind. Paul started calling and the geese came in and tried to light behind the goose tree. Lifted and banked around near the tree 3 times before finally leaving the field. These things work!  Drake was shaking drastically while he sat ever so steady, (thank you Pat Nolan!), and Don was out under the Goose Tree in amazement!  Needless to say not only do I have one ...now so does Bob and Eddie! You should have seen the Wired Outdoors car coming home with 2 goose trees strapped to the vehicle!  We will be doing a video product review of the Goose Tree for all to see. And no one else better to explain it than Mr. Juhl himself!

The trip went by very fast!   There were so many aspects of the trip to tell and I am only touching the surface. The stories, so many photos, so much footage, good food, and good people, the learning experience...oh yeah and the calling.  Erik Olson worked those birds. Larry, well if you closed your eyes you thought you were listening to the goose himself. I kept teasing saying he was a goose in another lifetime. He was the master. Even Erik said, "He is the closest thing to a goose I have ever heard!"  Well I agree!!!

I would like to take this opportunity to thank EVERYONE we met and helped to make this hunting adventure such a wonderful trip! The laughs and memories will last a lifetime as well as the friendships made.  We all went away learning a little more about the waterfowl we pursue and the State we visited.

A special thanks to Ron Maass for opening your hunting paradise to the "foreignors" from Pennsylvania. And no words can do justice to the gratitude to our new dear friend Larry Juhl. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! I look forward to the day when we can hunt together again!  Your wit, wisdom and kindness have touched us all very deeply.

Oh yeah...one more thing, we did kill some geese!  That was the bonus!
