    Backcountry Tent

    lol A couple years ago I killed my late archery bull at 0 degrees the first part of November with a few inches of snow. Depends on how you hunt, if you truly wanted to backpack into some places in the winter a good 4 season tent is a must. My .02 I have the Stone Glacier and I really liked it on my WY hunt this year, it was fairly warm and so I didn't get to see how well it stood up to wind and snow, but I was happy with it. Very comfortable for 2 people and gear.

    First timer

    It's pretty easy to get into Mx but getting out with cape and antlers is the hardest part. Make sure you have the contract and all UMA forms and that you filled out the gun info on the US side. You wont need the gun permit to come back but will need the ID card filled out and kept with you. All ticks need to be off the cape and have been frozen for 24 hours and then unthawed prior to getting to the border..all brain, meat tissue etc..needs to be off of the skull. Either euro or capped. Good luck cant wait to go down again in 3 weeks.

    Hey hunters, $20K reward *update*

    Most likely on the rez, my brother went out looking a little for it this weekend, but plenty of the areas are snowed in a bit. he decided to wait til spring.

    Lion unit?

    I would bet not many people have done it honestly, but I would try the southern units as Vowell mentioned. I have a cousin who has killed two calling for turkeys in the springs. I was able to call one in in Mexico in the Spring, again calling for turkeys. I've never been able to call one in when I targeted them.

    Swaro 15x56 rubber piece for eyecup

    I call or email swaro and ask for new eyepieces and they send them right to me. I usually get them in a week or so without a charge. I wouldn't send them back they just need to know if old or new 15s.

    Unique buck

    This is a very cool, unique buck I killed in Jan. In Mx. I was alone at dusk and didnt get good field pics. Clay did a great job as always. I havent been sharing too much over the last couple of years but figured I should catch up.

    Guess the score (updated with score)

    Score is a good way for hunters to share and discuss animals in relatively but has become such a inflated, misused # that unless I know someone personally I take score with a huge grain of salt. It really has become a tainted reality

    Late Kaibab and Strip

    Sorry Bob! Having never met you and I didnt look close just saw the kickers. My apologizes, you shot a great buck!

    Guess the score (updated with score)

    I was only saying that without all of the body, your buddy or anything else to judge from, except close up of ears and head makes it a little tough. It's a super cool buck.

    Late Kaibab and Strip

    Great bucks...Bob I saw yours on Duwanes site. Congrats!
  15. WHT_MTNMAN

    Guess the score (updated with score)

    I agree tricky pics for me...could be 95 or 120. My guess is 103-5ish. Super sweet buck.

    Interesting Buck Part 2.....

    Crap! That was a cool buck

    Glassing question

    I use my spotter as a way to judge a buck. If I cant see antlers with my 15s I'm not interested anyway. For me a straight spotter is 10x better than an angled. Angled is great for steep uphill shots but other than that it takes too long to acquire your target. In Mexico for example I use my spotter to judge bucks sometimes 20-30 times. it is faster to remove 15s acquire target, quick judge remove spotter put 15s back on and continue glassing with a straight.

    Swaro refurbishing - need some info

    I had a black pair built around 2006 and sent them back no problems. I've sent a few different pairs back for cleaning and maintenance and the only time I was charged was when I dropped them and actually broke glass. I believe I was charged $200.

    Cool bull, top end sure showed signs of drought. It was an overall rough year for elk.
