Tim,
Fill me in with a few details about your camera.... I am looking at getting a Nikon D90.
I have a couple of older Nikkor AF lenses, and want to get a better camera than the sony I currently have.  Pretty much have the wife on board, just need to convince her to let me dip into the savings a bit to make it happen.  It should be everything I want and then some.....

Dave, Kevin has a D90 and it is an awesome camera.  I am shooting an Olympus E-510 and am looking at upgrading to the E-3 or new E-30.  The D90 is a fantastic camera and takes awesome pictures.  I played with Kevin's quite a bit and the HD movie mode is awesome.  But I have always been partial to Olympus cameras so that is what I seem to stick with.

Thanks for the info.  I'll get ahold of Kevin when I have ????'s.... I'm thinking I'll be making the purchase from B&H in a couple of weeks.

Alright boys, I'll be adding my stories and pics a little later tonight  :D

Still trying to get caught back up with family and work... and the family decided to give me a nice cold for a welcome back present, LOL!

Best trip I have ever had by far!  :thumbsup:

Awesome guys! We love hunting Wyoming, it spoils you for hunting back here in Michigan.
For God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, no longer counting people’s sins against them. And he gave us this wonderful message of reconciliation.

OK, sorry for the delay! What an awesome hunt. Tim and Drew are 2 great guys to share a camp with... Tim can even sleep through my snoring, I can't say the same for Drew though, LOL!!! Sorry bud    :D  

This was my first hunting trip outside of Michigan. I have been out West in the mountains a few other times fishing though, so I new the beauty that was about to unfold. I never expected the amount of game that we saw though!! I was even able to take a nice Antelope Buck and a whitetail doe  :thumbsup:  

Anyways here are some pics:

Tim at his Cheesey best in the camper!

   

Drew trying to figure out where he is... where he's been... or where he is going...

   

A very welcome sign after an eternity driving through South Dakota

This is the setup that I shot my buck out of (Drew used the same setup 2 nights later to take his buck... still waiting on my guiding fees, LOL!)

 

Here is my buck, they are an absolutely beautiful animal! Jason Bobb (whitebuffalo) has him now and is going to turn him into a work of art for my Family Room!

I could not have asked for a better time!! I will definately be making the pilgramage out west an annual affair with the bow now!

Thanks again for putting up with me guys!
