The Bone Collector Blend offers deer three irresistible grains plus the special aroma that Big & J is known for, a secret weapon to keep deer coming in throughout the season.

After a large investment and five years of development, ACME whistle experts believe they’ve created the world’s best dog whistle, the ALPHA. The new whistle is 8% louder with crisper sound that has resulted in a 17% increase in range when compared to ACME’s original dog whistle. The Alpha incorporates an injection molded body with a rubberized outer cover – the first time these materials have ever been used together to create a whistle. Acme says it’s easier to use and creates a wider variety of whistling sounds so owners can communicate with their dogs effectively. It’s particularly effective in windy conditions. MSRP is $12.

Initially emerging as the one of the finest side-by-sides in its price range, the CZ G2 Bobwhite shotgun offers improvements on its preceding model in nearly every way. As a result of a newly built state-of-the-art manufacturing facility, all metalwork, from actions to triggers to hammers, has gained a level of precision. Improved spring systems resulting in even greater longevity and reliability, and attractive laser-engraved checkering elevated the shotgun’s handling and feel on clays and in the field. CZ’s Bobwhite is built using Italian barrel steel hand-fit to a CNCed steel action. The Bobwhite’s crisp double triggers, walnut furniture and hand-engraved details are befitting a shotgun priced well beyond its base MSRP. The CZ Bobwhite G2 is available in 12, 20, and 28 gauges, with 28- or 26-inch barrels with 3-inch chambers. The G2 features a Circassian walnut stock and English style grip with splinter fore end. It’s also in specific sub-models to fit shooters who might need help finding a modern side-by-side without going the custom route. The G2 Southpaw, for example, has a stock specifically shaped to put the left-handed shooter’s dominant eye directly behind the rib. MSRP ranges from $799 to $849.
