Filling my buddies WT buck tag (I had already filled mine in region 4 this season): lol I forgot to take a pic in the field, and as I took this pic the spare tire I was arranging around fell on the meat...we de-boned the entire deer and used every bit of meat as per the regs...

And even though we didn't even see a goat, the hike and the scenery itself was rewarding enough...and that's a big part of what hunting is all about..

Looks a little chilly.... what were the temps like?

Thanks guys....hit about -5 C overnight, I have a -20 C sleeping bag and a big Agnes air mattress with a Marmot Nitro 2 P tent, all my gear performed well, but the coldest part of the day was waking up and dealing with the condensation on the inside of the tent in the morning, trying not to get it all over my clothes and gear..any suggestions?

Gotta get up earlier when the condensation is still frozen to the fly and flip that sucker over to dry Haha.

Definitely need something to mop up the moisture otherwise even a little wind will knock those droplets all over you.

Having said that a buddy brought a sponge last time and it did NOT work well. I second the shamwow type cloth for this.

My preference is to leave as much ventilation open as possible and avoid the problem from happening in the first place. Tricky when it's very cold out and you're trying to hold on to whatever little warmth you can
