Hey gang! So I found a solid buck this July, and lost him in August. Robby kept encouraging me that he wouldn't go far and just grind it out. I've been filming sheep hunts the last 2 weeks but finally got a small window to grab the bow and give it a shot. Glassed him up Thursday morning and after a 2 hour stalk he slipped through my fingers. Thursday evening I glassed him up again and moved in. After thinking he'd given me the slip again I was ranging some brush in the trees in case I were to bust him out I'd have a range reference. As soon as the range popped up I saw antler tines move... he was bedded right next to the brush. I stalked into 65 yards, and as he would look away from me I'd scoot myself out little by little so his vitals would be visible. After getting a clear shot at the vitals he finally looked straight away from me. I drew, anchored the string to the corner of my mouth, nose on the string, level, pin and sent an arrow down range. The arrow was like a laser beam in my mind going exactly where I'd put it. Got a pass through on both shoulders and he went 150 yards before tipping over dead. Snapped some photos before a monsoon decided to take over my packout. Still can't believe I pulled it off... a solo high country archery mule deer has been a dream of mine for a long time. Having a brief history with the buck just makes it that much more special!

Awesome! We just picked up the A6500 for all of our stuff with the 18-105 F4 to try and keep the bulk of it down. We are really liking it so far! We are trying to get a plan together to go High Country Archery in Wyoming next year much like you did. I'm having a tough time finding spots that aren't Wilderness though with the "above Timberline" aspect that we want.

True that I know the struggle! That A6500 will do just about everything that A7 will do with exception of the low light performance and sensor size.

That's pretty much what I gathered when we decided on that camera. That 18-105 is working out to be great also for solo stuff especially since you can zoom it with a remote! Plus with their Clear Image Zoom it's essentially a 210 so more than enough for bowhunting. I just wish it was a 2.8 instead of a 4.
