Well this weekend was a great weekend. Found a lot of deer and a really good number of bucks. Throughout the weekend I found 22 deer and 9 were bucks. I found a total of 4 3x3’s plus eyeguards and a monster 4x4 plus eyeguards which I would guess would go 115 plus. This first pic is of a nice little 3x3 and a good size fork. The picture was taken at 850 yards on 30x. This second pic is of a momma and a spike with about 1 or 2 inch nubs. This picture was taken right at 1000 yards on 60x. This third pic is of a doe that walked about 40 yards away. This pic is just with the camera not with the spotting scope. This fourth pic is of a lone doe on a rock outcropping. This pic was from 750 yards on 40x. This fifth pic is a find the deer. It was taken from about 900 yards on 20x. (This should be pretty easy) Here is my setup when I am up on the hill. I am packing in 2 tripods now so my pack is getting a little heavy. This seventh pic is of the moon. I could not believe how bright and orange it was. This last pic is of another random critter I found. Hope you all enjoy

Hard work pays off again. Great job man on a terrific animal.

It will take some getting used to but after practicing with it for a while I think it is awesome. The last pic i posted was toward the end when I was getting the hang of it and I think it was my best pic. Now my next scouting trip should be even better I am hoping

Now why cant coues act like that during the hunt?

Figured I would add one more just because I think it is a great pic. This pic was taken from 850 yards around 50x.

I am carrying 2 bogen tripods the one that my binos are on is the 3001bn and the one that my spotting scope is on is a 3205bn i believe. They are a little heavy but worth the stability in my mind. I have been thinking about getting a starting setup and practicing and possibly going this next year. Just need to find a decent one for under 300 to start

I did not see any more on that hill but I may have missed something.

Lets just hope I can find them again during the hunts

No it is the mom. When I first saw it I thought it was a buck by the way it was acting but after close examination I saw it was a doe with a very little spike with it.

Terrific job on a terrific goat cant wait to see pics of the mount.

I use wet lens wipes. I forgot where I bought them but I am sure any place where binos are sold they will sell them also.

Great buckand a great start for a kid there. Hope he is hooked for life.

I do not think they make an adapter. You may want to contact swarovski to see if there digiscope adapter for there spotter works on the 15's. I dont think it will but it is worth a shot.

I understand cmpletely. Congrats to the hunter again for a trophy of a lifetime.

That is a hawg man. You know what unit your buddy got him in?

Amazing story and amazing buck. Awesome job 4pt.

My best day was seeing 12 bears in 1 day and getting charged 2 times. Also caught about 25 king salmon which tired me out good. Here is one of the little guys who decided to charge me right after I took this pic.

All of those bucks are trophies man. Unbelieveable I am still in AWE!!!

I would sleep in that stand. Those are some hawgs there man hopefully this next weekend for you

You never seize to amaze me with your glassing capabilities. Absolutely amazing Scott.

Man Jazzmine doesn't work at the ABC anymore. I thought you were younger than that

Well I went and spent a good chunk of change I made this summer on a new setup. I went out and got the Swarovski20-60x80 HD spotting scope with the digiscope attatchment. Also had to buy a new camera and bought a Olympus sp 350. It is an 8 megapixel with 3x optical zoom and 5x digital. So I am hoping that I will be able to get some good pics from the rest of my scouting trips. Here is the setup. The best part about this digiscope setup that this one will flip up so it is easy to find game and flip it back down. Then here is the camera I have setup behing it all. Hope you all enjoy.

I had to come back to the heat from Alaska and you get to go up and be in the nice cool damp weather. How is that fair? Anyways best of luck on your hunt. Looking forward to some great pics of monster moose and caribou on the ground.

Best of luck to you Dotshot I am looking forward to your story and pictures when you return.

I am sure that it will happen this year and that we will hear about it and I am sure that if it happend to you you would be angry about it. Its just life and Stanley put it the best way that anybody could.
