Just Livin' the Dream -- Redneck Style

July 16, 2012 By Awesome Rednecks

Awesome Redneck Moment of the Week: July 16

Now we rednecks are a proud breed with simple tastes. We like our beer cold, chicken wings hot and our women even hotter. But now and then we like to live it up and feel like one of them Hollywood types with their fancy cars, designer clothes and indoor plumbing. After all, ain't that the American dream?

Well, this fella right here is livin' that dream. We've had our fair share of R&R, but to soak it up in a hot tub, firing off a few rounds while sippin' on a cold one? Now THAT is the height of luxury.

The Golden Triangle

A fertile piece of ground wedged between the North and South Platte rivers just before they converge is a mecca for waterfowls. Canada geese and ducks galore converge here late in the year as they make their way south for the winter.

Cleaning Up for Ultimate Season Success

Living in Montana is a dream for western hunters like Petersen's Hunting Magazine's Joe Ferronato. While there are plenty of whitetails, mule deer, pronghorn antelope, and elk to chase each fall, success comes with a price as Ferronato's truck gets coated with dust, mud, fast food wrappers, and even blood and hair after a big game tag is successfully punched. To keep the truck looking, smelling, and performing like the important tool that it is, Ferronato relies on Star brite's Xtreme Clean all-surface cleaner and degreaser to keep the truck ready for a trek into the mountains and woods or an evening out on the town.

Packing Protein for Western Hunting Trails

When hunting season rolls around in the western United States, Petersen's Hunting Magazine's Joe Ferronato isn't going to stay in the office if he can help it. Instead, he's out and about, roaming around on foot, trying to fill an empty tag. As he covers the rugged miles, he's on his feet and his pack is filled with necessities like first aid supplies, a bottle filled with purified water, and snacks like Old Trapper's Peppered and Hot & Spicy Beef Jerky. With a supply of nutritious protein, Ferronato is prepared for whatever he faces on a short day trip or an extended trek into the high country.
