As we sit on what amounts to the doorstep of the 2015 spring turkey season, large portions of the country either covered in snow, in the path of an oncoming storm, or both. Among a great many other things, harsh winter weather doesn't make it easy for a hunter to pattern their turkey load of choice.

These days, it’s all the rage to see an animal, range it with a laser rangefinder, run some calculations on a smartphone ballistic app, and twirl the dial on the scope before shooting—but there’s good reason to avoid doing so.

Leica refers to its brand-new laser rangefinder, the Rangemaster CRF 2800.com, as “ballistics unleashed.” The lightweight, compact design is easy to handle, and offers versatile connectivity via the Leica Hunting app to deliver individual ballistic settings configured to your rifle/cartridge combination for comprehensive distance measurement across flat ground, uphill and downhill.

Ducks alive this time of year are pretty adept at spotting trouble. To bag a daily limit now, look toward a high-tech advantage: motion decoys to draw wary birds, a drone to scrutinize your setup from high above and the HuntStand Pro mobile app to find new spots you overlooked months ago.

Stealth Cam has released its all-new Revolver trail camera, a 360-degree cellular model which covers six zones to deliver a complete panorama of its surroundings.

The new Terra Cell trail camera from Wildgame Innovations is the company's first camera to use hardware that is network-certified by both AT&T and Verizon wireless networks.

Use your phone to search exhibitors, schedule seminars and even bid on auction items.

Revic, the optics-focused division of Gunwerks, is pleased to announce the release of the new Acura BLR10b Binocular Laser Rangefinder with ballistics.

If you don’t have an iPhone or some other smart gadget, get with the program and enjoy these great advantages before, during or after your hunt.
