Continuing with a tradition of midweek Hunting product updates at FS.com, here are three of the goodies that've crossed my digital newswire. Just relating news, not my endorsement. Companies are telling their story, and I'm passing it along. Hope you enjoy. --Jeff Weakley, Editor
Burris, the unequivocal expert in ballistic laserscope technology, is pleased to announce the expansion of its Eliminator line. This family of scopes will now include three new models: 4x-16x-50mm Eliminator III, 4x-12x-42mm Eliminator II and Eliminator 3.5x-10x-40mm. These models are in addition to the original 4x-12x-42mm Eliminator.
The expanded line offers hunters and shooters a broader choice and variety of options, from the very basic necessities of the original Eliminator to the top-of-the-line Eliminator III with its new X96 reticle that will range at any magnification out to 1,200 yards and a new windage compensation system.
The sleek, new design of the Eliminator III mirrors the form of a traditional riflescope, yet there is nothing traditional about this flagship scope. Designed for centerfire rifles, the Eliminator III 4x-16x-50mm laserscope features enhanced ballistic programming where the shooter enters not only the amount of bullet drop at 750 yards for load he is shooting, but the ballistic coefficient (BC) for his specific cartridge. The new X96 reticle provides a convenient and accurate method to manually compensate for wind. The digital readout displays a 10 MPH Wind Value as a “Dot Value” for the shooter's specific cartridge at the indicated range. All these elements have been perfected and are available at the touch of a button. Suggested retail price is $1,499.
The new Eliminator II, a 4x-12x-42mm laserscope with the X38 reticle accurately calculates the distance out to 999 yards at any magnification, and it can also be programmed for any gun and any load. This new addition to the family of Eliminator scopes comes standard with inclination/declination compensation, making up hill and downhill shots incredibly accurate. For maximum efficiency and fingertip control, the Eliminator II comes equipped with a remote activation switch that can be attached to the firearm's forearm or the scope's objective bell. Suggested retail price is $999.
The new Eliminator 3.5x-10x-40mm is similar in design to the original Eliminator. The 3.5x-10x-40mm provides accurate ranging out to 800 yards, and it can be programmed to work with any gun and any load. The 3.5x-10x-40mm must be set to 10x magnification when ranging targets or trophies. For the shooter or hunter who only needs basic laser rangefinding capabilities, this scope is the perfect choice. Suggested retail price is $799.
The original Eliminator 4x-12x-42mm has set the standard in the industry for laser rangefinding riflescopes. It works with any gun and any load with accurate ranging out to 800 yards when set to 12x. It offers inclination/declination compensation and comes with a remote control. The suggested retail price of the 4x-12x-42mm is $949. Currently, there is a $100 rebate on 4x-12x Eliminator; visit www.burrisoptics.com for more information.
“Burris was the first company to introduce laser rangefinding riflescopes, and it has continued to set the bar in this technology,” said Rob Siemers, Burris Company general manager. “With our latest additions to the Eliminator family, we now offer hunters and long-range shooters the best technology, electronics and optics at varying price points.”
“The Eliminator's split-second, automatic trajectory compensation technology has provided shooters with the invaluable ability to place ethical shots on target within seconds, which dramatically extends a shooter's confidence and ability in the field,” said Siemers.
Founded in 1972 and headquartered in Greeley, Colo., the Burris Company offers a complete line of premium optics which includes riflescopes for hunting, competition, law enforcement and military; handgun scopes; binoculars; spotting scopes; mounts and accessories.

Typically, grilling a meal in the backcountry while camping, backpacking, boating, fishing or hunting requires that you bring along an awkward metal grill rack that most people end up storing in a trash bag to keep soot contained. This messy and inconvenient method is a thing of the past with the Grilliput. A compact and self-contained grilling solution, the Grilliput can easily be packed in to even the most remote campsites, and its durable design ensures years of reliable cooking in the great outdoors.
Easily constructed in just a few minutes, the Grilliput is a stainless steel barbeque that is broken down and stored inside a 1-inch wide by 11.5-inch long tube. To use the Grilliput, you simply unscrew the end cap of the tube, remove the pieces, and slide the grill grates and legs into place. The Grilliput weighs a mere 20 ounces, and when assembled it provides a 9.1" x 10.2" grilling surface large enough to prepare a meal for two people.
After you have grilled a delicious meal and the Grilliput has cooled, you can easily clean soiled grill rods by running them through the built-in cleaning groove before storing them back inside the tube. When you return home from your adventures, you can give the Grilliput a more thorough cleaning by popping the completely dishwasher-safe pieces into the machine for a regular wash cycle.
Grilliput allows backpackers, boaters, and other outdoor minimalists to take grilling with them wherever they go. Included in the Grilliput are 1 thick tube with stopper, 1 thin tube with a cleaning groove, 2 outer grill rods with hooks and threads, 10 grill rods and 4 grill feet. Grilliput retails for $29.99 and is available at Campmor, Sport Chalet, and amazon.com.

ScoutLook's new DeerLog app is a full service Smartphone app for logging deer observations and capturing weather, wind direction, barometric pressure, solunar times and more automatically. This one-of-a-kind app is the ultimate deer management system for outfitters and landowners.
DeerLog can be used by individuals, but also allows every hunting client from any stand location on outfitter's owned/leased properties to transmit information for all deer observations, rutting or feeding activity, sex, age, antler info plus time/date stamp wirelessly from stand to the outfitter's free online log book. Each log entry captures and sends weather, solunar and condition data at the time of observation, from the exact location log entry was made.
Outfitters or landowners simply create a free account at www.scoutlookweather.com. As the outfitter administrator, you can access all logs posted by your clients. For each property you manage or lease, you create precise stand locations using the satellite map based tool. Next assign an outfitter code for each land block, and hunting clients simply plug in the code and start logging deer from their DeerLog app to your outfitter logbook. Automatically calculates observed buck/doe ratio and age structure for each land area.
DeerLog is available for iPhone and Android devices for a one-time purchase of $3.99. It automatically captures time, date, GPS location (stand name), weather details, wind direction and moon information at the time of deer sighting. The simple format with a drop down menu system and no typing makes it simple to capture data right from a treestand.
Bill Little, Co-Founder of ScoutLook weather said, "We built our DeerLog app with outfitters, hunting clubs, and landowners in mind. All invest a great deal of time and money each year on their properties, and our tool allows them to know which areas and stands are productive with the help of their clients and members. We truly think it is a game changer for deer management for people who take it seriously."
