What tripod are you using? I'm looking into getting one for thermal night hunting. I need to get a call too. Any you prefer?

I’m running a Kopfjager K700 with a Reaper Grip. I like it but do a lot of walking so I’m thinking about getting the K800 which is carbon fiber. I’d also like to go to ARCA Swiss mount, the Reaper Grip is nice since you can basically put any rifle on it but when you’re out in the field walking around the rifle sometimes gets canted and you have to straighten it out. Currently running a Fox Pro Inferno but would like to upgrade to the X24.
 
Well the day couldn’t have ended any better. We watched 7 does this evening and then with only about 4-5 minutes of light left to see through the scope this guy walks in at 75 yards. He was full rutting and zeroing in on where the does last were. He stopped broadside right in front of us.

Literally my 12yo son’s 2nd time to hunt today and he gets a 8pt buck. It wasn’t the huge guy he missed this morning but I couldn’t be more proud of him! I started hunting at age 7 with my dad and didn’t get my first buck until I was 16.

Congratulations to both of you! What a great day. Thoughts on the FK2 and DEK1 for field dressing?

That’s really cool. Memories for a lifetime. Thanks for sharing. Congratulations to both of you.
 
Went out yesterday but didnt see squat, lots of deer tracks. It’s supposed to get cold this week and rain so I think they are going to be low and really rutting like crazy. Going out Friday Saturday and Sunday next week. They won’t be bedding down, they’ll be running around. Came up to the in-laws and made sure my rifle was still decent. Glad I checked it was a little low and right to begin with at 100 yards standing freehand. I’m happy enough with it now. IMG_1478.jpeg
 
They’re taunting me now. Best buck I’ve seen since we’ve been at our new place…in the field behind my house.
