Mainviper Pro Level SD

Summit has debuted its Viper Level Pro SD climber, which promises to combine comfort and security with additional adjustability over its predecessor. Thanks to its patent-pending EasyLevel dial system, hunters no longer have to worry about climbing all the way down to adjust the angle of their platforms. Instead, they can use the dials to keep the platforms level—all while remaining attached to the tree.

Like its Viper Pro SD predecessor, the Viper Level Pro SD comes equipped with a Quick Draw Pro cable-retention system; a FasTrack accessory system; a wraparound armpad; a comfortable foam suspended seat measuring 18X12-inches at the bottom and 12X20-inches at the back; Dead Metal sound-deadening technology; and more. All this combines to create a climber that weighs only 26 pounds, with a 300-pound weight capacity. Further, it will fit around a tree measuring anywhere between eight- and 20-inches in diameter.

Michigan Mayor Looks Down on Guns and Dogs

“If you’ve got a gun, you should be ashamed of yourself,” said Grand Rapids Mayor David LaGrand. NRA-ILA also noted that in his response to a police K-9 chasing down a suspect, LaGrand said: “It is time that we ask, ‘What are dogs good for?’ Like, if you need a dog to find someone in the woods, get a hound dog. If you need to chase somebody in a backyard, why couldn’t you do that with a drone? If my dog did what I saw in that video, I’d put my dog down.”

Coyote Tactics: Stay Flexible

The successful hunters I know do not get hung up on one tactic. They constantly float between strategies in an ever-changing hunting environment. Quite simply, they’re flexible. I take that improvising nature to heart even for coyotes, particularly when they shun my calls for whatever reason. When that occurs, I continue the hunt, but modify my strategy to fit the scenario.
