2023 Official Western Hunting Expo thread

Videos of Seek Outside new pack offerings please.

It is probably right up your alley if you like the Peregrine. I'll be buying one as soon as @Kevin_t gets it on the site.

They also have the Courthouse set up which I think is "new" to many people and fills a big gap in truck camp shelters for those who don't want the weight and bulk of a wall tent.

He gave me some hints last week. But no real info.
Have you used it? How does it pack weight?

I have not used it, and hadn't seen it until Thursday morning.

I'm sure @Travis Bertrand will get the info.

Ran into most of the “ROC” crew. Good to talk w them = well between when they were lookin at 6.5z and miniature pulleys. Looked over the Co gov tag buck and a lot of mounts. Never knew this many hunters existed . Ran into a bunch of big mulie guys fun to exchange stories w new and old mulie junkies!! My bid was not enough to win the anteloper island tag it went for 500k ….

Thinking of switching up from phoneskope to the Olin as after looking at them all it seems better than the other magnetic options. Pry grab a pair of Hoffman packs and that new outdoorsman’s tripod is pretty darn cool..

Honestly boys the attire is less extreme than I expected… But then again I have been a regular at Burning Man.

Since folks (Robby) in the past were nice enough to post pics of some of the bigger deer here are a few of my favorites.

Do you mount the scope to the rifle or the rifle to the scope?

Nice show. My wife says she won't go back to Salt Lake in the winter without a full face respirator. Oh, and sparkley jeans with blonde hair. On me!

Whiteduck tents. Besides a wall tent, they also build a Bell tent and a pop-up tent that would compete with a Kodiak.

Hey, I love that pic at the Eastmans booth you took. The only thing that was different between those and Clay Bundy was all the Eastman bucks were from the 50s and 60s except for maybe one. Where all the Bundy bucks are in the last decade or so, but of course they’re all from the same place lol.

Now that’s worth going…

 

[robby denning]

Wow, they already have this buck framed in the Mossback booth. I think his name is King, and this far as I know he still alive.

 

[robby denning]

How about a Kowa 77 vs a Swaro’ 80 ATS head to head for 2023? The Kowa guys said bring it on.

Anymore impressions on the Magvision phone setup?

@robby denning

Have you seen any conversation or recognition of the struggle mule deer are going through right now in regards to weather while you are there? All those influencer types are there I'm sure, any acknowledgment about leaving deer alone in regards to shed hunting?

I'm seeing Facebook posts here is SD of people out pushing the herds in the snow to get sheds. Just sucks.
