Goose hunting. This year I got the chance to hunt with my 15 year old brother Jon.
We woke up at 4:30 a.m and after a quick stop to the local donut shop we were on our way. The weather was cool near 45 degrees. I was outfiited with my Medalist base layers, which kept me warm and dry. The area we chose to hunt was a small clearing in the trees along the Susquehana River, since the river was flowing high and muddy. We watched several geese fly through this clearing the night before and land on a nearby island. Hoping the geese would fly through the same clearing we waited patiently. Apparently the geese got word of our plan because they were no where to be found in the morning. We sat until 11:00 before heading home for lunch empty handed.

Jon and I decided to hunt a large pond in the evening where we met up with my good friend Nick Szumski. We placed our decoys at the tip of a large island and waited, and waited, and waited. Finally, with about 10 minutes of legal shooting light left we heard a flock approaching. The geese circled us twice before locking in on our spread. We managed to knock down three ending the first day of the Pennsylvania goose season.

Although we didn’t kill our limit of geese I had a great time sharing the water with my brother and good friend and look forward to  doing it again.

I have been watching some deer via my Leaf River game camera. And although I have no big bucks coming into my area, the does are plentiful. With the number of does in the area, there is bound to be a buck or two wondering in.
The Blind turtle is the greatest hard-shell blind on the market. I recently put up my Blind turtle, in South East Pennsylvania, in an area I have been hunting for years. Putting up the massive blind was no problem thanks to my mom, dad, and 2 close friends. I can’t wait to start sitting in the blind that over looks a soy bean field, and in fact had 8 deer in the field while the blind was being put up.
Hunting from a blind and wearing Medalist is a deadly combination. I can’t wait to sit in the Blind Turtle, in my fleece outfit shooting deer. The Innerlocs will be flying in a few weeks. Check back and see how the Brossman’s and the Blind Turtle do, hunting in Pennsylvania. -Corey Brossman

Bill, and Mitch Kline of El-Lagarto Alligator Service, put us on 3 great public water gators. Kurt Fell, the owner of the Blind Turtle Company joined me on an adventure of a lifetime.
Our first night out in the Everglades proved why hunting with a knowledgeable guy helps. In 30 minutes Mitch had a 9 foot 3 gator swimming towards the Kline airboat from 75 yard away. The Micro skin Bug proof garment from Medalist kept the nats, and spiders from doing any harm as Kurt waited for a shot with the Innerloc Hydra-Strike. The Alligator swam into 3 feet and took a Gator Grapple point to the lungs. The Lumenok lit up the evening and the Ams buoy was deployed. After a short battle Kurt bang-sticked him and was happier then anything.

Forty-five minutes later I was ready and willing. The AMS big game retriever was loaded with 640 pound line, and away we went. Bill Kline spotted a set of glowing red eyes. It was a 9 foot 1 gator, and I wasted no time in arrowing the swam lizard. The Medalist Max rain gear kept me dry, during the short rain storm we encountered during the hunt. Both gators were taken in public hunting area. The gators both had some tail missing, so I believe we could add a few inches.
During my stay in Florida, Josh Byrd was in town, and had access to a county wide tag. His friend Ron drew the tag for the same unit I was staying in. After a few days of tuff hunting, he hooked up with Mitch and I and we had a 10 foot gator staring Josh in the face. Unfortunately Josh missed 3 times. He had gator fever…. Josh did manage to shoot a great gator in the 9 foot range later that night on video.
All the gear worked well, the Medalist did its job, and all 3 kills are on video that will air next fall on Innerloc’s OutThere TV.
Thanks to the Kline family for another great time in Florida!!

Growing up in Pennsylvania the words Scent elimination was not in my vocabulary. I have seen my father bring home countless, whitetail deer that he had shot wearing the same clothing he worked in that day. My father was a mechanic, and he was exposed to car fumes, wd-40, oil, and all the liquids that go with a garage. At 5:00 he would punch out and head to the stand in his blue work uniform, and climb a tree.

As time passed and I started hunting on my own, the clothing I would wear to school, was the clothing I found myself in 20 foot up a tree. I never used scent illuminating sprays, nor did I believe that a special type of garment would better my chances. I shot as many deer as anybody in my town, and I thought I was doing everything in my favor that would increase my chances of killing a deer. I tried placing some of my camo in garbage bags filled with pine cones and leaves, I tried baking soda and water, but it never seemed to make a difference.

In 2001 I started a Video production company called Hunting Extreme Productions. My idea was to buy a camera and start to film TV personalities. A few years later I was introduced to Scent Elimination. I remember the first time I was getting in the truck of Hunters Specialties Pro Staffer Matt Morrett, and seeing all the big fancy green bags, and all the bottles of Scent-away spray. I also remember telling Matt that all that stuff was just a way for a company to make money. I was wrong… Matt and I were heading to John wetstines place in Kansas and Matt was wondering how I kept my clothing scent free. I didn’t. All my clothing was in with my regular everyday clothes. I used Tide with bleach and ultra brightens on all my stuff. At that point Matt almost turned the truck around.

After arriving in camp, Matt took my camo realtree clothing and washed it in Scent-away, and dried them with the Scent-away dryer sheets, and placed scent wafers in a new proto type bag they have been working on. The next morning we had deer in places that they should have smelled us, and they did not. I was hooked on this process.

When I got home after that road trip, in which Matt killed a giant 156 inch 8 point, I figured if that system worked, there had to be more. I bought some Carbon clothing and figured if I use the H.S system with this clothing it would have to work. It worked well, for a while. The problem I had was, the extensive maintaince I had to do, and the lack of washes I was allowed to use on certain products. I found myself getting lazy and not putting the clothing in the dryer as much, and I lost confidence in the clothes. Even though I still sprayed down and used the H.S system my confidence was not there as much as it was when the clothing was new.

While on a trip with H.S I shared a tree with owner David Forbes. I was filming Dave over a food plot that had about 70 deer in it. The deer where down wind up wind, all over. He introduced me to a clothing line that since has changed my style of hunting, and over all opinion for ever. Medalist with SilverMax. Medalist has changed me and my whole family’s outlook on Scent technology in garments, and has made it more comfortable than ever for us to hunt.

Since wearing Medalist, our success rate has gone up, our animal sightings has gone way up, and the length of time spent in the woods has just about given me and my dad divorces. Medalist allows me to wash my clothing without worrying about, messing up the longenjevity of the garment. The lightness and comfort of there lines has made me a more stealthy hunter, as well as a patient hunter. The Silver technology allows me to not worry about sweating when temperatures rise, and freeze when the temperature drops. The Silver also allows me not to worry about bacteria growing on the garment, and then getting into my H.S scent bags. The fact is Medalist is the best clothing I have ever worn. From the socks, to my hat I feel invisible in the woods. If I am on a hunt back in the bush and I want to wash my Medalist, all I have to do is find a water puddle and the clothes can be washed. Who wants to carry a dryer around the bush with them. There is so many more great advantages with Medalist then any Carbon suite out there.

I now host a TV program on the Sportsman channel, Pursuit channel, and Wild TV. My job is to produce the best quality hunting TV program I can. From Florida gator hunting, to Montana Antelope hunting, and even the low temps of Winter hunting in South Dakota, Medalist with Silvermax is the only clothing I where as well as my field producers. Its funny how this story makes a full circle. My dad at one time whore the clothes he work in to hunt, now I where the clothes I work in, to hunt.

Running around in my Grandparents back yard I shot my first bird, with my red ryder bb gun. Any kid growing up who’s family hunted want a red ryder. Well I finally got one for Christmas that year and the first thing I did was run out into the woods and shoot a bird. From then on my family knew I was going to be trouble.
On my twelfth birthday my father took me out of school for an early weekend to go archery hunting. I never killed anything that week but I had my first encounter with a small doe but just could not get a shot off. I would eventually get one with the rifle on the very last day of the season that year. It was all down hill from then, a few years later I started shooting in long-range competitions with rim fire and small bore rifles. It was all a science to my father and I, from buying the right powered, cutting brass, seating bullets, and know wind directions. After a few years of this I started to dabble in trap, skeet and sporting clays and even joined my high school rifle team. My junior year I started taking a lot of technology class and mixed my love of the outdoors into as many projects as I could. As graduation came I decided it was time to try and make a living of the two things I loved the most, the great out doors and photography. Not knowing much about the business and no one in the filming industry I had to come up with a way to get my foot in the door. I meet a very interesting young man at the time, who since then has become one of my best friends Matt Roberson, who in my opinion, is one of the top waterfowl hunters on the east cost. Matt let me start filming and working for his guide service. I will be the first to admit at this time I knew very little about filming and much less about waterfowl hunting, but Matt let me stick around for a few years and I learned so much from him and the countless hours I spent in rain soaked corn fields to snow cover mountains chasing ducks and geese. Not long after that I ran into Corey Brossman. The very first time I meet Corey he was sicker then a dog that just eat your whole bag of Halloween candy in ten seconds. I spent the whole time asking his cameraman at the time different questions about how they do different things and trying to learn as much as I could from them to better myself. This past fall I decided I was ready to take that jump and get my foot farer in the door. I wanted to go from filming with a small handy cam to canon’s new HD mini DV camera. I had some questions and knew the perfect person to turn to, Corey. After a few phone calls and meetings, I was offered a job. Field producer for Corey’s show InnerLoc’s Out-there, with out batting a eye or thinking twice I took him up on the job. Now at the age of 21 I’m looking forward to sharing my stories and encounters with my medalist as I travel filming and hunting everything with InnerLoc and Corey.
