stant movement of his feathers. Before the crows had a chance to regroup and return to the action, a red-tailed hawk landed on a limb only two feet above the dead crow. I quickly switched to a crow fighting hawk call and was rewarded by a half dozen crows dive-bombing the caught-off-guard hawk. I was able to kill a couple of crows before the hawk had had enough of this fun and took flight. Unfortunately, the crows continued to follow him out of sight. I decided to stop calling and within a few minutes the same hawk was back and landed on the same branch. He seemed to be fascinated by the outstretched crow and continued staring at his lifeless body. Within a minute or two, another crow landed to the left of the attentive hawk and started to tell his clan that their arch- enemy was nearby. After three notes, I silenced him for eternity. The hawk thought that this was a good time to leave and never looked back. I also de- cided this was a good time to quit. After all, I had fired 18 shots and hit 18 crows. I could never do this good, even with a 12 gauge shotgun. Although several of the crows were able to fly away (limp
would be a more accurate description), death was on the immediate horizon. Forty grains of sizzling lead would result in the demise of another crow. Of course none of this could have
been achieved without a rock solid rest offered by my BOGgear’s Bog-Pod Camo Legged Devil Shooting Sticks. Through the years, I have used every bipod and tripod that has been on the market. Some have served me well, while others failed dismally. No bipod/ tripod has satisfied my wants and needs like the Bog-Pod. Weighing only 28 ounces and hav-
ing three telescoping leg sections lends itself to everyday use for the hunter. The Camo Legged Devil shooting sticks has Next Camo’s G1 camo pattern per- manently anodized and it is rust and scratch resistant. A weather resistant travel bag featuring shoulder straps is included to make it an easy carry in the field. Its high strength and lightweight aluminum legs are coupled with rapid adjust lever locks that enable the legs to be quickly and quietly extended. To pre- vent you from over-extending the legs, something that I have done countless
times, BOGgear has installed leg stops. One of my favorite and most used fea- tures is the inch marks that are printed on the legs. This feature enables me to know what height the Bog-Pod needed to be set at when I was standing, sitting, or kneeling. I don’t have to waste valu- able time trying to find the right height at which to set the bipod. The Bog-Pod can be used at heights
from 22" to 68". This should cover any height that a shooter would need. When the legs are collapsed the bipod mea- sures only 31" long and are Velcroed together to make carry easier and to prevent any audible noises. To further reduce noise and increase your comfort the bipod/tripod has black tear resistant foam grips. The foot system can be ad- justed to increase stability in any type of terrain. To make shooting easier, the Bog-Pod is equipped with a universal shooting rest that swivels 360 degrees. This rubber-covered rest is wide enough to fit the fore-end of almost any hunting rifle. Bog-Pods are hands down the best bipods/tripods that I had ever used. I never go hunting without them. If there were a better bipod/tripod out there, I
