Coues Deer and Javelina Down!

Well 2025 is off to a great start! Here's the story of my archery javelina and archery coues just one week apart! These are my first two animals with VPA's new Omega and let me tell you, they're incredible! https://graniteriflegroup.com/ https://vparchery.com/

Taking care of your feet is one of the best ways to stay afield longer, no doubt. Happy feet start with quality socks and let me tell you there are a lot of choices when it comes to socks. Kevin Roger’s, co owner, of grip socks knows more about socks and wool than anyone I’ve ever talked to and to top it off, he and his business partners are committed to supporting and sustaining U.S made products which is why I now wear Grip6!
