The Tink's booth at ATA was impressive as always. Tink’s has such a vast array of products for the hunter that it is hard to cover them all. ALL of them are a must have for the hunter intent on harvesting his game. However, a few products really stuck out this year and deserve some extra coverage.

This is a special year for Tink’s as they celebrate their 40^th Anniversary. I can remember Tink’s being an essential part of my hunting since I was a kid. Who can’t remember going to the hunting department of their favorite store only to find all of the Tink’s #69 sold out? Remember that disappointment? Well, luckily for us their great products are always available now from their website so hopefully those days of disappointment are over.

To celebrate their 40^th anniversary, Tink’s has brough back one of their all time greatest products. Tink’s #69 in a GLASS bottle! Remember those glass bottles? Those bottles bring back a lot of fond memories. With everything going to plastic now, I was excited to see the return of the glass bottle. While this is only a temporary thing for the 40^th anniversary, Terry Rohm told me that if the demand was high enough for the glass bottles, they may consider keeping them as a permanent part of their inventory.

Another great product is their B-Tech odor elimination products (formally known as Vanish). I have been using these products for the last year and believe me when I say they are awesome! Tink’s now has a wide assortment of B-Tech products to best fit the particular need you are looking for. Be sure to check them out and pick up enough to last the whole season!

Tink’s also has a great line of predator scent products. Tink’s Coyote mist and Rabbit mist as well as their smoking predator sticks will be a great way to spend the off season taking out those pesky and very sneaky predators. On the hog side, there is the Sow in Heat scent and the Dominant Boar scent. Both of these will be a must have for the hog hunters out there.

Overall, Tink’s has some great products and have fairly earned their reputation as the best in their industry. Visit them at www.tinks.com

Robert was introduced to hunting by his uncle, Jeff Hendricks, at a very young age. He grew up in the outdoors, hunting and fishing at every opportunity. He started, as most boys do, with hunting squirrels and rabbits but was soon deer hunting with his uncle and thus started a true love for deer hunting. Jeff and Robert were two of a kind and stayed in the woods or on the water as much as possible until his uncles death in 2007.

Robert was introduced to turkey hunting by a close friend, Jerry Golden, and soon developed a passion for hunting this elusive bird. It remains one of his favorite game to hunt.

Robert has branched out of just hunting in Alabama to include states like Iowa, Mississippi and Georgia. He hopes to continue to hunt game in other states in the future. Robert is a veteran of the first Gulf war and served in the USAF for a total of 7 years, including assignments in Germany, Nebraska, Texas and Illinois.

Robert is the owner of an IT Managed Services company (www.gtinow.com) in Greenville, Alabama and is the founder of TalkHunting. He has been married to his wonderful wife, Annette, since 1985 and has 3 grown children, 2 sons and a daughter. He also has one grand daughter, (Katie) and one Grandson (Jake). Robert is also a hobbyist beekeeper.

God, Family and the outdoors are his life.....

1. Failure is not an option

   I use Tink's because it works. The B-Tech (Vanish) is awesome. I tested it out this year. I worked real hard outside one day and worked up a nasty, sweaty stench. I put on the deodorant and sprayed down and the smell was gone. Seriously, in an instant I smelled fresh. Failure is not an option. That's why I use Tink's.
