I have worked for Lion Country Supply for almost two years now. I have always been a customer of the company, continuously needing Collars, leads, E-collars for my hounds; Lion Country is and always will be my GO TO place. When I was hired the management staff was all well aware of my hunting background and knowledge with all the product that I still buy and use today. Every September during bear season in New Hampshire, my father and I always spend the long twelve hour journey north with our Plott hounds loaded in the bed of the truck to stay for a long weekend to hopefully fill our bear tags.

I have been getting my bird dog supplies from Lion Country for over 25 years. It was time for this pup to get her first collar and so I brought her in for some Lion Country personal touch.

When I was a kid, a rainy day could put me into a funk. I would stare out the window in disbelief that the skies had conspired against me. Ideally, I felt, it should rain at night and be nice during the day. It is nice to believe that I have overcome this attitude, but I know that I still can get upset if the weather does not cooperate with my scheduled hunts and time off from work. I will often go afield in the cold and wet, choosing to agree with the Norwegians who say "here is no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothes." To that end, the new technology such as Gore-Tex and similar products is great for permitting forays afield in inclement conditions. So too is wool, a material that I like better than any other for hunting. It can rain, sleet, and snow and I will still go afield. But I still get upset when it is hot, like it has been recently. 80 degrees in October is not my idea of autumn.

It is back to school time, and the first way that I can tell is the lurching-yellow-behemoth school buses that have returned to the highways. School districts may deliberate to get the best educators, but it seems that they draw names out of a hat with names of paroled felons to find the people who will drive their kids to school and back. The bus no longer stops at a "us stop? but instead will pause every 50 yards, allowing each child to embark from his or her yard. Sometimes the kid isn't even in the yard, they are in the house and will walk out when the bus approaches. Usually the youngster is wearing a backpack that would cripple a Sherpa, and they take their own sweet time getting to the bus.

Lion Country Supply is proud to be carrying Yeti products, ranging in size and type from an 10 ounce Low Ball to a Tundra 65 cooler. It was only a matter of time until I would have to buy one and join the Yeti club after walking past these products every day, coming in and out of the office. I decided to buy the Yeti Rambler 30 ounce because I stop on my way to work every morning at a local convenience store to get fresh brewed iced tea. The largest cups of tea available are 32 ounce, so the Yeti 30 ounce was the perfect size for what I needed. If 30 ounces is too big for you, we also carry the Rambler 20 ounce.

With the hunting season in full swing last year, my dog and I were hitting it pretty hard. I don't know how many miles we were covering in a week but I know that my dog easily doubles whatever I walk, probably more. His recovery time was great with a few days of proper rest, but I did notice that occasionally he seemed a little stiff or sore in the morning or after sleeping. This year I'm adding a few supplements to his diet to make sure he's getting everything he needs to recover properly and feel his best.

By Bob Ford Sometimes, the weddings that I officiate as a pastor are not the most fun. A lot of the time I get a phone call that goes something like this. "Hello," I answer. "Yes, is this the pastor?" a stranger asks. "Yep, can I help you?" "Yes, can you do a wedding for Continue reading?

We can feel it. Can you? We know your dog can. The days are getting shorter and nights are getting cooler. The fall hunting season is right around the corner and all of the hard work you and your dog have put in is about to pay off. Some say there are four seasons in a year but at Lion Country Supply we know there are only two.

I recently attended The Outdoor Writers Association of America's annual gathering. This year we met in Billings, Montana. I consulted my research department (a friend with high speed internet and a Google browser) and discovered that there is no hunting season for rabbits in Montana. I mean, rabbits are not considered game. So, in other words, there is no closed season. My mind quickly began to scheme a way to try an add a new species to my list of bunnies that I have hunted. My first concern was driving all the way to Montana. I considered the possibility of flying, but I have had my luggage lost on flights way too often.
