    Screenshots of thinhorns through a spotting scope?

    Man I was off and is a good example of exactly why I posted this. Appreciate the “test”!

    Screenshots of thinhorns through a spotting scope?

    From the photos, the rams in photos 5, 7, 8 look legal or close enough for a close examination. The ram in photos 2 and 3 looks like it is has potential too. Any thoughts?

    Congrats on an great ram and thank you for the photos!

    Screenshots of thinhorns through a spotting scope?

    Super helpful, thank you. Is he the ram in your profile pic? From the photos you sent, he strikes me close but sub-legal - the type of ram a guy could talk himself into and get in trouble.

    Screenshots of thinhorns through a spotting scope?

    Photo 1 - I count 8. Would wait for a new look as I don’t plan on counting rings for legality if I can help it. Photo 2 - Bottom right appears to pass the stick test and his tips appear to pass the angle of his bases. Would have to wait to confirm. Photo 3 - Does not pass stick test, bad...

    Screenshots of thinhorns through a spotting scope?

    I’m going on my first sheep (dall sheep, specifically) hunt this year and though I’ve been studying every mount and set of horns I see, saving dozens of photos posted here, etc. I’ve never actually tried to judge a sheep through a spotting scope. Does anyone have any screenshots through their...

    Short Barrel/Suppressed Rifle Options - What's the Best Value?

    Sounds like you’re on the right track. For reference, my 18.5” Tikka in 6.5 CM (suppressed) shoots 147 ELDMs at 2445 fps. Using 1800 fps as your stopping point, you can play with ballistic calculators to figure out your terminal range. That little rifle is a blast to shoot and very effective...

    New SG bino harness is on the way ...

    I’ve done 10.5 miles since Wednesday of this week with the harness on with zero issues. I was a little unsure of that pouch at first but I really like it. At the very least, it’s a WAY better solution for my phone than a pants pocket. I used to save the drink bags from MREs for my phone so I...

    Ultralight Tripod Options

    I ordered an AT-125 with the AT-10 head and was initially very impressed. Unfortunately, the legs are coming out completely different depending on the leg. i.e. smallest segment to largest segment on one, middle segment to largest segment to smallest segment on the other, and finally perfectly...

    New SG bino harness is on the way ...

    Just did three miles at lunch and the harness did not interfere with the pack whatsoever.

    New SG bino harness is on the way ...

    If the Sitka harness didn’t (it didn’t), this should be no issue. I have a few rucks this week so I’ll be testing it. I’ll let ya know!

    New SG bino harness is on the way ...

    As promised, below are photos of how I would likely wear a kenai under this chest rig. First impressions are I like how compact it is and I’m really impressed with the harness. It’s the most comfortable I’ve ever used (sitka and marsupial gear). It holds the binos a touch higher than I’m used...

    Walk-in Dall Sheep List

    Water up high will be a premium here too. You make a damn good case for a tarp, and I will be with a partner making it more palatable. Is the tarp5 the tarp to get? This would be a stretch I could work, but I do not have the coin for a DCF tarp unless similarly priced. I’ve eyed your list...

    Walk-in Dall Sheep List

    Really helpful, actionable pieces here. I’ll be including some contractor bags in my kit for sure now. Thank you! Your sleeping bag for example, are you just shoving that into a contractor bag or putting it in a dry bag, in a contractor bag?

    Walk-in Dall Sheep List

    Sound advice. The sleeping bag and tarp were the resounding low hanging fruit, and I took note. I have a 30* EE enigma on the way, and have ditched the SG tarp. Pending some classifieds sale I may me able to whittle away at a few more items, but I’m already saving 50 oz with just those TWO...

    Walk-in Dall Sheep List

    Yeah throw it in here. I’d love to peak at it and maybe folks in the future can learn something! Agreed on the bag. I have a EE 30* quilt on the way per the recommendation of Ben. I’m still not entirely on the down train and this seemed like a really solid compromise. I’ve also used quilts...

    Denver meat locker to hang moose?

    You might call the meat cleaver.

    Walk-in Dall Sheep List

    Man, that’s incredibly nice of you but I actually have a BRS stove. The one piece I’m missing is a heat exchanger pot, but with Ben’s post below I think I’ll rectify that this week. Thanks again man. You’re a stand up dude.

    Good on the bino adapter. Yes trekking poles will be taken and added. Ha, fair point. Playing with some handloads at the moment, however, 10 factory round would do for a good placeholder.
