I don't know for sure what the 40s are but probably 34 or 36. Kuiu runs longer than most

I prefer the low one and keep it attached to my binos at all times

Just my opinion but I would get the panhead and get another tripod. The outdoorsman tripods are good but you can get as good for less money. The panhead is almost unbeatable for size,weight and functionality. If you save on the tripod then buy new panhead. Good luck

I know this is a rez bear but pretty cool. Sow before my boar came in. Boar Hopefully I'll make it out to look for a giant bear I found last year.

I'm not sure how common it is, but I have something on camera that is freshly broken almost every year. This was this year.

FOV is the difference between binos and spotter. Almost impossible to freehand a phone on a spotter. The phonescope will help in that aspect.

It is pretty funny, over the years I've found that bull elk are more intrigued and love the camera more than any other animal. Another quick video with standard youtube music, look past the quality of video for the bulls. I almost deleted the last video until I saw the last 2 seconds. Pretty solid bull.

I don't get very many good Coues bucks on my elk cams but this one might turn into something special.

If anyone wants to put in for 3c for Coues they can have at it!!! Not too much of a secret for mule deer and elk thanks to many people and outfitters long before me.

Beautiful bucks Phil!! Nicely done!

I have plenty of pics of Coues bucks but never one that could be decent in 3c. Lots in 22,23 and 27 over the years

I have no idea what this bull scores, but they are saying it has the most mass of any bull they have killed???? (Instagram says heaviest typical) To me that probably means probably 70"+ of mass. If it really has that much mass than it probably has beams pushing 60". I start adding up the numbers from there and it could be a hammer possibly well over 400" but who knows, I hope the guy killed it because he really wanted to not because of a number for sure.

Standmans post reminded me of I took some last week.

Exactly I guess this thread won't make it to page 2 with me agreeing with you.

I saw a lot of good fronts and not as good of tops. Any year is a great year to have a tag though.

Now there is the missing background. !

Great fish, comment about naturechick was funny.

First off you need to understand I don't have any hate for A3. I respect what they do and the animals they kill. I understand the anger they had when the whole camera thing happened. I'm fine with that. I've taken care of what happened with A3. I'm friends with a lot of their guides. What I don't respect is people claiming to be perfect law abiding citizens tearing into me that then get caught red handed guiding and killing bulls on the rez a month after the incident. And another incident that involved the same A3 golden boy on the reservation AGAIN. You like to always bring up the family aspect of it yet there's certain situations you have put yourself in that aren't any better than some situations I've put myself in. But I won't get into details on those because I know you know which one I'm talking about. So don't think I'm commenting that this bull is smaller than what they say it is just because it's A3. But I have spoken personally to a certain taxidermist that has scored bulls after their scores and they are off by more than a few inches. You said it yourself if a bull is 410 why would anyone ever think they needed to add inches to a bull like that? That's an amazing bull anywhere anytime. Yet certain individuals still add all kinds of inches to an already amazing bull just so they are that much cooler. I'm still not sure why the obsession with said A3 golden boy but sooner or later it's all gonna come out and he's gonna bring down more than a few people with him. So that's where I stand on A3. I don't hate them, I simply disagree with the way they and certain guides of theirs are off doing things worse than stealing a camera and at the same time want to crucify the guy that did everything in his power to make it right after it happened. But I understand you're friends with them so you'll stick with them til the end. But just remember this post when your buddy goes down. As for being a firefighter in the public eye I didn't know they disagreeing with an elk score was something the public cared about. I'll be more careful from now on. I will never condone illegal activities from you, or anyone else, even and especially my friends. That being said you accusing me of wrong doing is a different breed. Please call me (you have had my # for many years, unless you changed yours) I can and will tolerate anyone that makes a mistake and owns up to, I applaud you for that, but I have not and will not put myself in a position of illegal activity.

I agree with that. I've always used score to friends to help in judging just how big a buck is but it has all come down to "showing off" inches. It isn't what it should be about.

Blake- I have heard all of the stories of you and your buds there in Heber for many many years, some I'm sure dramatized and some not. I've known some of the info on you and your stealing cameras. I've seen parts of your "confession" video and still I have never said a thing. Never! I have never wanted to make it personal between you and I because we have lots of common friends and family. I am completely against the lynch mob mentality and I sure was hoping that you made a mistake, made amends and we can all move on, but man you are making it tough. I still am so confused on why you talk so much? Why do you act like it wasn't a big deal?( the cameras) Does it really matter if it was 424" or 430". ?? or heck even 410 . I know you hate A3 because they are the ones that caught you, and yes I understand that, but man come on. You have a lot going for you, great family, wife and child etc.. friends that do care about you and I know this is just the internet and maybe a place for you to vent but really??? You are a firefighter!! Whether you want to or not you are in the public eye. Please for the sake of your family chill just a little bit.

But they will lose 10-15 additional inches when the bull is scored by someone other than the guides that killed it. everyone can heckle me but I don't see 425"It was scored by an official measurer. Of course it isn't official in any way but at least he knew what he was doing. In the field they got 422. Later it was scored at 425.How about Wilbur? What did the taxidermist score him at after they got 430 in the Field? Definitely didn't come up with 430". I believe it was in the low 420's. Not really that much different than you being off over 4" on your 200" deer. Try more in the 410 range or a taxidermist that scored it just made it up. Green score of 204 with an official score of 200 inches 60 days later isn't even in the same ballpark as 15-20 inches on a bull. And also im not ashamed to post up what he officially scored once I found out. I just got word it was 424" so yeah 410 is close enough, you do know about everything, and yeah I was there. It was every bit as big

Every once in a while I set these cheap cameras to video just to capture something different. Sorry about the poor music and poor editing. I didn't even care or even try to make it acceptable. I did it just for fun. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OVfK3_iQ6E8

That will make Cole and most of us smile!
