Great advice Bill!! I think of you and your advice sometimes when I am feeling like I should just stay at home and not bother to go scout or something. No one is getting any younger!

Don't go drillin' holes in your stock just yet! There is a new attachment that is almost on the market that will do exactly as you mentioned and without any drillin'! I'll be testing it out soon and the preliminary tests with a prototype were VERY promising and i'm excited to try it out! Stay tuned! JIM> +1

Coues Sniper, what kind of glue did they use for that?

When did you buy that camera that you are having problems with? It should not be resetting the date. And re:the boxes, I am guessing you mean the security box for the Covert 1 vs Covert 2? The extra space in the Covert 2 box is so that you can have space to lag bolt the box to a tree and still put the camera in. That's a feature that a lot of people like.

WoW That is awesome! Thanks for sharing the pic!! I take it you didn't get a shot at him yet? AMAZING!! What an awesome buck!! Congrats on finding that monster!!

Well said! +1 +1

they all seem nasty to me! I sure am glad they glow in a blacklight though! That's pretty handy!

Lance Crowther (of sponsor Timberland Outfitters) really knows those Winslow/Holbrook He posted a ton of stories about OTC elk last year. I went out with him for about a day and a half last year, I didn't get one, but I think with another day in there I sure would have. I would contact him for info: http://www.tlohunting.com/

Covert is actually working on some programming to fix that blur. The older Covert 2s didn't have this issue, but some of the latest ones seem to have some blur. They tell me that when they got a new manufacturer for the chip in the camera and that for some unknown reason it doesn't work the same with the old programming code. It does seem the shutter speed is too slow for the nighttime pics which in some cases causes the blur. What they are doing is writing code that will fix that issue and once the bugs in the code are figured out, you will be able to upload that code free of charge and that issue should be fixed. Hopefully this is a shortlived issue. Not sure what you mean about it losing programming. In what situations does that happen? When you remove the batteries? I have not heard anything about this issue. Don't forget that as with ANY product that I sell, if you are not 100% satisfied you can return it for a refund. So if you don't like your camera and you bought it from me, you can just send it back.

Good luck!

FYI - If you don't end up selling this, you could always donate it to the Coues Buck contest and the Elk contest for a prize

here is some info on Coues in NM...look near the bottom of this page: http://www.coueswhitetail.com/where_to_hun...ere_to_hunt.htm there is contact info there for a biologist out there who would love to answer your questions on whitetail. He told me he would be glad to talk with anyone from CouesWhitetail.com that has some questions about Coues out there....shoot him an email or call him.

Hopefully Clay will be getting his elk with one in the next couple weeks!

Congratulations on your buck! I am so glad to hear the Range Snap helped make you successful!! Thanks for the testimonial! It is a great product and I think it's very cool that one of our forum members created it!! Thanks to Christian Williams for sharing it with us! For those not familiar with the Range Snap, here is the link for more info: http://www.coueswhitetail.com/bookstore/range_snap.htm

+1 Jim The guides I know are courteous, respectful, and extremely eager to help people, whether they are clients or not. Lumping all guides into the same category is just as wrong as claiming that all hunters behave the same and hold the same ethics.

Congrats on a fine antelope! Let's hear more details on the hunt.....

Hey Doug! Happy Birthday and thank you for all you do to help members of the CouesWhitetail.com forum! Cameraland really gives outstanding customer service! Hopefully you got a day off today and are out enjoying some nice weather in NY.

Yeah, he loves me. He isn't really even a hunter, although he has hunted a few times, but he still supports me!! Thanks Pops!!

Congratulations!! Love the pic with the girls!!

I have a hard time choosing a backpack, but I would look at Eberlestock and see which model appeals to you. A great source for information and those packs would be sponsor Eric Santana of Payson Outfitters. He knows these packs and can really help you out when choosing one. And he gives a discount to members of CouesWhitetail.com! http://www.paysonoutfitters.com/servlet/StoreFront Another of our sponors is Outdoorsmans and they have a great selection of tripods and adapters and such and so I would check out their store too. They also have very knowledgeable staff that can help you pick out gear. http://www.outdoorsmans.com/ I would also take some Wilderness Athlete products. I love those...great energy for fueling up during a hunt. Contact Outdoorsmans about that. Surely you can find more than 2 items you want from the CW.com store. Here are a few I suggest: A slik sprint pro (or even smaller, the slik sprint mini) and the Jim White Tripod head would be a lightweight setup for glassing. I really enjoy my JW head on my backpack hunts. http://www.coueswhitetail.com/bookstore/tr...ripod_heads.htm Of course you may need an adapter for whichever binos you get (I take my swaro 15s on my backpack hunts). The Swaro bino adapter made by Jim White is a very good one and is also available at the CW.com store: http://www.coueswhitetail.com/bookstore/adaptors.htm I would definitely take a Havalon knife and extra blades. I prefer the Orange Piranta Edge. Just be careful when you use this knife...it's beyond sharp!! And you don't to cut off a finger in the outback! http://www.coueswhitetail.com/bookstore/havalon_knives.htm I would have recommended getting one of those Ultimate Gamebags by our own Elkaholic but he just ran out and won't be making them anymore.....bummer. The Eyeshield is handy to keep the sun out of the sides of your eyes while glassing: http://www.coueswhitetail.com/bookstore/eye_shield.htm A glassing chair or seat pad makes glassing more comfortable: http://www.coueswhitetail.com/bookstore/gl...air_and_pad.htm Binocular pack to protect the binos: http://www.coueswhitetail.com/bookstore/binocular_pouch.htm Of course CW.com tshirts and Hats would help you on your hunt too! http://www.coueswhitetail.com/bookstore/tshirts.htm http://www.coueswhitetail.com/bookstore/hats/hats.htm

I am gonna bet it was my Dad!! It was his birthday the other day, you should have wished him Happy Birthday!

Awesome photos and thanks for giving us a taste of your life up there in MT! It's very inviting!

maybe someone's yellow lab running around the tank....?

I can't imagine why anyone would shoot a lamb. Imagine that...standing on the side of the road looking up at the lamb and deciding to shoot it? And then the poor thing falls off the cliff and survives awhile. What a shame...

Wow, great photos! I haven't ever seen babies riding on the back of an adult before. That's neat! Great color on that adult too. Are those shorthorned lizards?
