I just got back from a great week in Montana, where I spent a few days in the field with our designers Richard and Zac...the two geniuses responsible for taking our gear concepts and turning them into reality. A "gear testing" trip, with Wapiti in our sights. Utilizing Richard's pop-top certainly spoiled us as far as base camps go, but also made it easy to bring piles of gear and prototypes to try and critique.

We pounded a lot of miles without seeing or hearing anything. Glassing, calling, napping. Nothing. Beautiful country, with great sign, but no one home. 
However, things would change for us. Finally, we ended up in one of those magical spots. The bulls had turned on, and wanted everyone to know.
This curious raghorn kept coming back for more. At 12 yards, we had a lot of fun talking to each other.
In the end, found ourselves in the middle of a dozen or so bulls, screaming their heads off. Patience, a few passed opportunities, and then a 
well placed arrow, had us jumping up and down.
Another hard day at work!!
