After a little internet searching, reading, and checking up on this stuff I found it�s a pretty well established product in Canada and hails from Quebec where they have this funny habit of speaking a lot of French. Thus the name, Jig-A-Loo, and the company�s claim it derives from a saying they have up north, �I�ve got it!� 
I’m a 36 year old single father who would love the opertunity to take my son on a hunt where we could atleast see some deer. We have been in the woods together in deer season hundreds of times only to take one doe together and due to time restraints as of late our sightings have been limited as well.
