Review: Eureka! Centerfire Sleeping Bag +15
Once upon a time, back in the long-lost 1980s, I found a wonderful sleeping bag, and bought it. Dad liked it so much that he bought one, too. We used them for years - heck, I still use mine whenever I'm at our camp in middle Georgia.
They're no longer available these days, so off & on I wondered if there was still a really good oversized sleeping bag on the market. Turns out, there is - and I like mine even better than my old original bag.
The Eureka Centerfire +15 sleeping bag is big, tough, comfy, and nice-looking. I really like mine. Check out the review to learn more.

Deer Hunting Shot Placement
When you shoot at a dove with a shotgun, you try to hit the whole critter... but when you're shooting at a deer or any other big game animal, you really need to place your shot properly in order to ensure a clean, humane kill. You should also shoot where the kill zone is the largest - that way, if you should miss the spot, you have still put your bullet (or arrow) into a kill zone. I've spent a lot of time in the woods hunting and learning, and I believe this to be true: Most of the time, the most important piece of my entire deer hunting experience is where I place my shots.
