Weather is always changing, and in the mountainous West, this holds doubly true. For just these sort of variable conditions, Nomad has unveiled its Duo-Down Hoody and Hoody Vest. Featuring a Downproof shell fabric with a water-resistant coating, and 700-fill duo-down in essential zones around the torso, the hoodie stays incredibly warm. Thanks to that water-resistant coating, the duo-down will not mat down when wet, instead retaining its insulating structure. Additionally, baffled compartments ensure consistent heat pockets within the garment, while an adjustable hood prevents heat loss from the head. Finally, an internal adjustable hem allows the hoodie to be cinched tightly about the waist when not in use. The entire thing weighs just 10 ounces.

At seven ounces, the Nomad Hoody Vest utilizes the same design as its sleeved cousin, simply ditching the sleeves to make it a great go to option for less chilly days, or as a mid-layer. Both the Hoody and Hoody Vest come in Veil Cervidae camo, for excellent blending ability all season long.

Michigan Mayor Looks Down on Guns and Dogs

“If you’ve got a gun, you should be ashamed of yourself,” said Grand Rapids Mayor David LaGrand. NRA-ILA also noted that in his response to a police K-9 chasing down a suspect, LaGrand said: “It is time that we ask, ‘What are dogs good for?’ Like, if you need a dog to find someone in the woods, get a hound dog. If you need to chase somebody in a backyard, why couldn’t you do that with a drone? If my dog did what I saw in that video, I’d put my dog down.”

Coyote Tactics: Stay Flexible

The successful hunters I know do not get hung up on one tactic. They constantly float between strategies in an ever-changing hunting environment. Quite simply, they’re flexible. I take that improvising nature to heart even for coyotes, particularly when they shun my calls for whatever reason. When that occurs, I continue the hunt, but modify my strategy to fit the scenario.
