Lots of good advice for you here Kody in a very short time. I have 8.5 x 42 EL and 8 x 32 EL SV. I almost always reach for the 8 x 32s these days. Light, compact, great light gathering in low light conditions. The best advice I can give you is to try them out yourself in low light conditions...

Both good bags and my decision came down to those two and the Versalite. If you can get into either of these bags to get a feel for their size that would be helpful. I am 6'1" 170 lb and I found the Badger to be pretty large for me even with multiple layers on and sleeping on my side. I found...

Here is a mountain caribou for you to look at I shot in the NWT 2 years ago. I did a lot of reading and research at the time and what you've read here is accurate. Caribou in the NWT see light hunting pressure from people and wolves compared to AK. Mountain caribou tend to have more points...
If anyone wants to try doing their own european mount, here is a method I have used with good success in the past:
1) Cape out skull and carefully remove as much meat as possible with a knife.

My dad and I hunted with MacKenzie Mnt Outfitters in 2012. I would narrow your search down to MMO, Ramhead, and Arctic Red River. All three have excellent concessions.
I have the Patagonia Ultralight Down Jacket. It is warm and has a fairly durable shell, but I haven't used it enough to give a detailed review. I have used my Nanopuff a lot and at 60 grams of primaloft one it is not adequate for late season insulation. Something with 100 grams (Micropuff...
