At SHOT I was asked how long we had been around.  I paused and said that our Birthday was coming up and that we were celebrating 12 years.  They were very surprised.  We keep trying to let out the secret.  We may post a little more on our history as time goes along. 

Hunt Comfort president David Robinson has been bestowed with a new title: Butt Guru!  In an article by J. Wayne Fears, “In the End, Comfort is Everything” David is appointed with the new commission.  This article nails hunter’s complaint and the importance of being still and comfortable out in the field.  Take a look at the story here : http://www.huntcomfort.com/GuruPrint.pdf 

Comments David, “…if it sells, I am sticking with it!” 

Hunt Comfort has a tool shop in the country and homecooked meals are enjoyed.  This past week we were having fresh country fried venison tenderloins and I looked up and noticed something very odd tied with Christmas ribbon.  Larry’s daughter was messing around over the holidays in some of her late granddad’s things and found this deer leg.  As the story goes, a little over 30 years ago around Camden, Alabama this deer was shot and its feet were badly deformed.  Never seen anything quite like it, not sure I ever want to again and I don’t think I would eat that venison!

Writer and photographer Judd Cooney with a beautiful Iowa 10 point buck this past fall.  Clearly Iowa is growing some beautiful and heavy whitetails.  Check out Judd’s site at http://www.juddcooney.com/whitetails.htm .  Judd is toting a Hunt Comfort FatBoy. 

Here’s a great snow shot of outdoor writer and photographer Lon Lauber and a beautiful nothwestern whitetail.  Lon has been using Hunt Comfort seats extensively this year and has given us some super feedback.  On Hunt Comfort, Lon writes, “It’s been the smartest and most comfortable addition to my hunting gear this year!”.  Thanks Lon!

 

 

Well after shooting a southern deer last week, this looks like another species of deer.  We just do not have anything like these big bodied bruisers.  Writer Bob Robb took this gorgeous whitetail in Iowa last month.  Just a giant of a whitetail.  We are envious.  Please note the great taste in cushions - Climb-On.

Hunt Comfort now has Gift Certficates on-line at the request of our customers.  What do you get the guy who wants a Hunt Comfort seat and you are not quite sure which?  The ace in the hole - a Gift Certificate. 

I could not believe my eyes and I could not keep the camera still.  We have been following a white deer since 1999 and when we saw three it was heart jumping exciting.  Luckily. I was able to get photos.  Monday I sent photos off to a couple of people and it was agreed that the deer were not albino because their eyes were not pink - right? Wrong!  Dr. Sid Wilroy, a dear friend and geneticist, corrected our common misconception that albinos must have pink eyes.  It turns out the an albino can have white pigmentation and blue eyes.  So… Albinos with the classic milky white skin and hair are often found with dark eyes.  The scientific name for this is tyrosinase negative and it is inherited as autosomal recessive.  Inbreeding of the herd??

Finally, another interesting piece of genetic science - a missing link from Dr. Wilroy: Another type is called piebald and these are inherited as a dominant meaning if a parent has this there is 1out of 2 that that parent will pass it on.
