Start to Finish Success for Ultimate Season Bucks

As a whitetail hunter and landowner dedicated to pursuing great bucks each season, North American Whitetail's Blake Garlock depends on a lot of motorized gear from September to late January. Whether it's a side-by-side UTV, a chain saw, a tractor, or a powered-up limb saw, Garlock relies on Star brite's Quick Fix Engine Rescue to keep his engines running smoothly for months on end. From planting food plots to trimming up shooting lanes to driving to and from a stand, Garlock depends on Star brite's Quick Fix blend of polyetheramine (P.E.A.) and proprietary Star Tron ENZYME technology to keep fuel systems clean, moisture at bay, deposits removed, and top-end fuel efficiency leading to fast engine start-up and all-season success.

Early Fall Tactics for Big Ultimate Season Bucks

There are few things that get North American Whitetail's Blake Garlock more fired up than chasing early season bucks with his bow. While the bucks are still on late summertime patterns, that doesn't mean they are pushovers for a bowhunter hanging high up in a treestand. For Garlock, that means having a quiet pack filled with necessities like a safety harness, an Ozonics ozone generator to keep sweaty scent at bay, and a supply of milkweed to test the wind currents. While the heat is on, he'll also have on hand plenty of water and protein snacks like Old Trapper's various beef jerky flavors, nutritious energy that will help him stay focused on a warm evening sit until that tall-racked whitetail steps out into last light shooting range.
