This lube is made with actual bear oil! No gimmicks! Anyone else that sells a bear lube, normally fills the can with either paraffin or beeswax and adds a tiny bit of bear oil. We do not use any waxes, but a blend of our best selling anti rust ingredients and bear oil. This is a great COLD weather lube as well!

Destination: Hunting Shawnee National Forest in Illinois
The Shawnee National Forest is the single largest publicly owned land in Illinois and is by far the most popular hunting destination in the entire state. With an astoundingly large size of over 280,000 acres over 200,000 football fields, this Southern Illinois forest sprawls across 13 sparsely-populated counties which are home to over 146 miles of rivers and more than 200 individual lakes. This count doesn’t include the massive Ohio River and Mississippi River that dominates the forest’s borders. It’s no wonder that this public hunting land in Illinois attracts hunters from all over the country who are looking for prize game harvests and getting face-to-face with the primal origins of man.
What Can Be Hunted in Southern IL?
With so much land available, there is no shortage of wildlife roaming the Shawnee Forest. Thousands of sporting enthusiasts are attracted to Southern IL every year to hunt everything from trophy bucks to upland game and waterfowl. Wildlife in this forest is exceptionally diverse; you will not find a forest that offers avid hunters such a variety of sporting opportunities including dove, furbearers, upland game, and waterfowl. Southern IL is especially known for deer and turkey hunting bringing game chasers across the nation to Southern Illinois each Winter in order to experience the large game hunting opportunities available in Southern Illinois.

Dinner Recipe: Hearty Sirloin Chili
Servings: 6
Food Network ~ Step by Step Detailed Instructions
This ultra-meaty chili takes it to the next level by using sirloin in place of your typical ground beef. It gets infused with southwestern flavor from jalapeno peppers and chili powder before getting topped with sour cream, cheddar and green onion. Best of all, it comes together with just 15 minutes' prep time.
