Sweet buck!

The tape is MSHA tape (used to be a miner), and it is for luck (and taping the barrel). Pack is a CBMR Behemoth, a budget version of the MR NICE 6500.

Oak,

I was using a Big Agnes Three Wire Bivy. I feel it really falls into the 'bivy shelter' category, it has lots of room for a bivy and breaths great due to the eVent. The hood design allows for opening the door some during storms without letting water or snow in, a big plus if you have to hole up in it during a storm the way I did on archery opener.

For sleeping bags, I was using a Mountain Hardware Phantom 15. My dream bag for that application is a Valandre Mirage. My hunting partner just got one and used it on the same hunt and said it rated the hype we've heard about it.

Also can't say enough about my sleeping pad, the Thermarest Neoair. Super light, comfy, and small, and warm enough.

Nice buck Carl! You would love Dall hunting with all your knowledge of gear and the pure grit it takes to hunt that kind of country. Well done
