I went up and did some more scouting over the weekend, and helped out on a random youth hunt. Couldn't find anything for deer except 1 doe, but again we saw plenty of elk (1 very nice bull) and a ton of antelope. It was a great experience. Now just hoping to locate some bucks. Hmm...

This is so cool! One day I hope to be able to do the same!

That's awesome Lance! He's a shooter for sure. I've also seen some very nice bulls in 7W. I'll be scouting a new area this weekend to see if I can spark something.

So where are all the pictures of the snow from up North? I'm sure there are some people up there. Let's see 'em.

Awesome. Thanks for the help.

So doing some prep for my scouting trip this weekend I came across a couple of these in an area I'm going to. Anybody know what it is? None of them are on the topos and I am wondering what they are. I'm thinking water tanks, but not sure.

That's what I was thinking. Notice the thing left of the panels by the tree? Looks like it could be a trough?

Whoa! Now that's some serious snow.

I have a forest service cabin rented for my upcoming hunt... Hopefully there's at least a temporary resolve to this issue before 10/31. I really dislike Obama, but I really want to stay in the hunting cabin. I'm torn.

I have no experience with them, but have heard nothing but good things. I was looking into this when I got the Razor HD and did some extensive research. Pretty much a clone of the Razor HD, with some slight differences. I just didn't want to go with the clone.

Hunting the southern units I use the Cabelas Seclusion 3d open country. Up north I use Realtree AP/APG. I just got a set of C4E gear in Mountain Mimicry, and I really like that pattern as well. Seems like it could be used in either one.

Ha. I forgive you. Thanks for the pointer, I'll look into it.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure that's WAY outside unit 7's boundaries.

Thank you! The order will go out today and you should have it by tomorrow or the next day. Now that's great service! Thanks Amanda. I'm adding these to my pack to go alongside my Buck Omni Hunter, which I love.

After reading this thread, I've ordered a Havalon from the CWT store, and ordered a Razor Blaze as well. I should be set!

My first "real" set of binoculars were the Diamonback 10x50s and they were great for the money. I have since upgraded to Viper HD 15x50 and then again to the Kaibab 15x56. There is a vast improvement at every upgrade step along the way. PM sent regarding value.

I second that request for pics.

Congrats on tagging out in August! I'm actually planning to hunt up North in the PJ stuff. My experience is that the peaks area gets hit HARD, and feels like there's a hunter behind every tree. Not my cup of tea. I'm planning on being way up North and glassing. I've located a couple water sources not on topos, which will hopefully give me an advantage. We'll see.

Awesome. Thanks! Looks like I'll be getting that loyalty point next year then.

Casey's hands down.

I've always wondered... Do you get the loyalty point on your 5th year application, or after your 5th year (basically it will be applied to the 6th year)?

Looks like an amazing spot! Good luck!

I'll take the long action green stock.

I had the first hunt down there last year. Be warned it can be VERY hot during that early hunt. Last year it was. I saw plenty of very nice bucks and I'm sure you'll be in for a good time. I'm hunting up north this year, otherwise I'd be right back in good 'ole 36B!
