It was an amazing day. We saw about 10 deer, 2 of which were bucks. One old whiteface heavy fork but narrow and one wider fork. We could have shot the white-faced buck but we left him with his 4 does. As far as deer hunting goes, it was about as fun as it gets.
The rifle is a standard Sako 85 in .260 Rem. I had a Finnlight for a while but prefer the longer barrel of the standard 85. None-the-less it is a laser beam.

No pictures Steve. I certainly thought about it. I need to get one of those fancy digi-scope adapters for my phone. Carrying a camera that is capable of photos at the distances we were glassing is not an option. It was a darn long hike into the area. Another note to self - A lighter tripod and spotting scope are on my needs list.
I did take a picture of my pack on the ground though.

I love my scope phone adapter with my vortex. Glad the camera to scope adapter is too expensive or else I would be carrying that added weight too. Lighter tripod is an option but usually spotting scope doesn't get any lighter unless you go for big 5 plastic armored scopes. I guess you could go to a more compact scope with less mag.
Im thinking of an a7 chambered in .243 for my teenager. Any thoughts?
