From the West to the East coast, the fall season
is upon us and hunters are beginning to trickle
into the woods for area goose, pheasant, grouse,
elk, deer and many other tasty treats. As the
season descends, more and more types of
camouflage are being introduced into the world
of hunting. Some of these are good and some not
so good. Concealment is defined as: “an attempt
to hide or to prevent for recognition or
disclosure”.
Hunters will spend hundreds of dollars on
trying to be concealed in the woods this year
alone. Scent locking clothing, standard
camouflage, mossy, leafy, desert, all of it is
good as long as it is used in the proper
environment. Wearing desert camouflage in the
heart of Milwaukee, Wisconsin will only get you
more attention than you really wanted,
especially if your favorite weaponry accompanies
what you are wearing.
Standard camouflage is always a good choice,
but the better choice is an oldie but goodie
that has been proven in times past to be the
most effective camouflage around. In fact, it
originates from Scotland before WWI and was used
for the purpose of “game keeping”. I’m referring
of course to the ghillie suit. The ghillie suit
went on to serve a very important service in all
of the preceding wars including our current war
on terror. The ghillie suits ability to conceal
is by far the best in the field, but it is no
longer just used in wars and protecting game. In
fact, recreational use for the ghillie suit is
on the rise. Ghillie suits are being customized
for paintball games and for hunting usage.
Because of its ability to conceal in the way
that it does, the ghillie suit will likely be
around for a long time to come.

enforcement, a former firearms instructor and an
avid hunter of many species.

A mountainous state, Idaho has become a popular destination
for families and outdoor enthusiast. If you’re considering
Idaho, here’s a primer on the state and Idaho real estate.
Idaho
For backpackers, river enthusiasts and rock climbers, Idaho
is frequent destination. With a mountainous profile, the state
is a haven for river rafting, fishing, rock climbing and pretty
much any outdoor activity. In addition, the state has a
relatively small population and prices are reasonable compared
to many more well known states.
Boise
Located in southwestern Idaho, Boise is the city with the
small town feel. A virtual secret for years, the city is gaining
notoriety and residents after continually being ranked as one of
the ideal small cities in the United States by numerous
publications. Home to Boise State University, Boise is a modern
city with a small town feel. Tired of high real estate prices,
Californians in particular have been relocating to the city. Of
course, this means prices are going up, but it also tells you
the city is worth your consideration.
Idaho Falls
The falls have been dammed up, but the city of Idaho Falls is
a popular relocation spot for outdoor enthusiasts. The city is
located within an hour or so of both Yellowstone National Park
and Grand Teton National Park. Frankly, it is hard to tell since
the geography is more or less the same as in the parks.
Although it is a launching spot for the outdoors, Idaho Falls
is a pretty sleepy city. If you need a strong and vibrant
nightlife, Boise may be a better choice.
Idaho Real Estate
Idaho real estate is reasonably priced as of October 2005,
but prices are starting to appreciate. In particular, Boise is
seeing an influx of out of staters as evidenced by the booming
real estate businesses claiming to be “relocation experts.”
Overall, single family residences can be had for the low
$200,000s throughout the state. Boise prices are starting to
march north of that figure and the overall state appreciation
rate is in the 12 percent range. For a very good quality of
life, these aren’t bad figures at all.
