I was crazy busy at this year's SHOT Show, running around with hardly enough time to take a lunch. I spent a lot of time finding cool new guns and gear to update everyone about. I didn’t realize it until I got back to home base, but I posted right around 30 live updates to the NAHC Facebook page, and almost twice as many on Twitter.

I also spent time meeting with a lot of great marketing and PR folks, lining up gear for all you North American hunters. I know you’re all thinking, He’ll be hoarding the good stuff for the NAHC staff. Nope. It’s all for our social media followers and Club members. I won't spill the beans about who I spoke with, or what products will be coming down the pike—you’ll find out when you see our upcoming contests and giveaways.

On a side note, here are a few of my favorite pieces of gear from the show:

Magnum USA Spider 8.1 HPi Multicam Boot

These boots should be great for turkey hunting in dry areas. 

FLIR Scout PS-Series Thermal Handheld Camera

Imagine the night hog-hunting or overall game-scouting capabilties of this tool.

VANGUARD Pro T40 Tripod

This tripod is a dream for any run-and-gun hunters.
