I've hunted with them for almost 5 years now.. I love them, I have a few that have run out of batteries and so I interchange them as I practice, I do not need the lighted nock feature when I practice but they do make a difference POI if you are critical enough, especially out past 70 yards. The first time I shot and missed a buck in the last light of the day, my spotter was on a hill 6-800 yards a way and he said he could see the lighted nock through his binoculars. I use the nocturnals for GT

another cool bull from a couple years ago. I didn't get out much last year since I was getting ready for my mountain goat hunt. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bCr3ESRQSyQ

I know Blake I'm sorry for him and his family and that he put himself and them in this position but this comment was very comical to me. Blake has always been the outspoken one on the forum. Or to be blunt the internet tough guy. I Just found it comical. I dont have much patience with thieves, but i also believe in Repentence and forgiveness. I hope you can someday get it all behind you and learn an important life lesson Blake. You have a great young family with many years a head of you.

a guy who is apparently well known as a cam thief posted on here, all anyone said to him was "congrats on the great buck" Who are you talking about, I've been on this site for many years and probably said congrats to someone who is a thief and didn't realize they were "well known" Idk but my inbox blew up with stories about the guy when I mentioned it. By how people react about cam theft I thought people might want to know he was implicated in some of the theft. No one cared, except the people that PMd me I guessI think a lot of people care. Only most haven't heard the story because the guilty party backed out of the deal to post his confession/apology on here and other places, as he had agreed too. He also backed out of the settlement he agreed to pay. It will all come out soon enough. Interesting I don't think I responded or saw that post, nor would I have known he was a well known cam thief. I agree with above, I think a lot of people care, but don't spend as much time on here as some do.

Great job Rob, congrats on some fine animals. Clay always does well.

No it is not funny to joke about, I was under the impression you knew more about the situation than you do, my apologizes to you. Houston

Trphyhntr-you stealing cameras too??

This year just as many years past I had high expectations as we headed down to Mexico. I've been known as the last day shooter for many years now because I pass up great bucks trying to kill the true Giant. Well this year I glassed up this buck opening morning and I really didn't want to shoot. As many times as I added him up in my mind I could only get him pushing 110. I've killed quite a few bucks and wanted something with some extras. Well long story short I ended up watching and trying to decide to kill this buck for almost 6 hours. I finally decided that he shouldn't be passed and I shot him at 300 yards. Believe it or not I was disappointed because I knew that it was another year down without killing a giant buck with extras. but I knew he was a stud buck that should not be passed. For the first time I was done opening day. I was pleasantly surprised to score this buck at 115 even gross and net 111 5/8. He has 19 2/8 and 18 4/8 beams with a 15 4/8 inside spread. On Day 3 I glassed up a giant buck behind some ocotillos from about a mile away. As luck would have it, he bedded as I was grabbing my spotting scope. So we waited an hour or so until he stood up, at one glance I knew he was a shooter, we hurried to close the distance before dark and my buddy Richard made a 1 shot kill on this great 4x4 that will be pushing 115. The next day after a 6+ hike into some roadless areas of the ranch and passing on some really good bucks, Rob made one heck of a shot at 650 yards to anchor his 2016 Mexico buck. What a great time, with great friends in a great place.

Better BC will always make the same shooter a better shooter at longer distances...doesn't have anything to do with being a better hunter. Different comparisons...geesh

Sean, we found that buck almost every time we went in there...glad you was able to kill those bucks with your son. Nice job..

So AWESOME!!, very cool, congrats to you guys, that is pretty neat.

I've been on hundreds hunts with animals taken, some as just a tag along, and many as the one who found, kept track of and eventually was there during the harvest. If you really want to get into the guide business: first find an area and an animal you want to dedicate your time to and then find a quality animal. Next find someone who has a tag, help harvest said animal. If you do this your confidence will increase. Do this for free and for the learning experience. After you do this a few times you then can decide if you want to do it for fun or as a job. I am far from a great hunter, but I have a pretty good track record on helping kill some great animals and I still do not want to guide for money. To me it isn't worth it. Good luck in your decision

Up to this point Sergios P&Y typical was bigger than Nates non typical, looks like non typical will finally surpass the typical. Congrats on a giant buck!!! I hear it was a pretty crazy day of throwing arrows.!!! Glad we get to see that giant.

I've been very happy with the badlands if you want full containment and a few extra pockets for things, My problem is that I am predominantly a bow hunter and it is just a little too bulky for archery. IMO... I run the KUIU for archery, it is slim, not fully contained and the pockets are minimal.

Great job Clay!! Looks great

Nice shed and great Buck....
