All that I have seen have spun away from the shooter also. With your setup and ability I have no doubts that you will stick it to one. Oh....he is deadly this guy is The goat's had better pray for rain Honestly, I'm not worried at all. even if it means rain and spot and stalk, I'll get it done. people do it all the time. "what one man can do, another can do"

mtshooter- How hot should I expect the blind to get? I'm already planning my new rig and thinking of ways to practice. I may set up a blind with a heater in it this june and july to get the blind up to temp. I'll sit in it for 4 or 5 hours and then take one practice shot at say 60yds. It sounds way overkill but I hate being under prepared! I hate suprises. For my rig I am moving to .10" pins couse the.19's are too big even for small deer past 40yds. They cover the entire vitals

I spent 4 days in the blind and the temps started out in the morning anywhere from 45 to 60 and hit low hundreds late in the afternoon. There were a couple days that it had to be 110 in the blind. Expect winds, anything from a breeze to 40 to 50 mile an hour gusts.
Make sure you have black shirts to blend into the back of the blind. I use Under Armor heat gear long sleeved shirts. I also took sagebrush patterned camo in case I had to spot and stock. I had a camelbak water bag that fits into my backpack so I had water all the time.
Bring something to entertain yourself, 15 hours a day in the blind can get boring, unless you want to use zip-lok bags to catch flies off the wall of the blind ;D
I am sure you will fill out the first day, I could have, I just plane and simply "chocked" the first morning. With the camera and all the excitement of first-time hunting with a pro.

I will being a game or something to play. Maybe a play station prtable for games and movies. I watched you video and saw that you were wearing a black shirt. Underarmor it is then. I'll bring my Badlands pack with tons of water. Heck, I'll drink a liter of water on a 4 hr sit in october.
Thank you for your confidence in me. I am confident too, but everyone including myself chokes once in a while!
Any tips for knowing what one to shoot? I know a mosnster prong horn when I see one, but i'm not sure I can tell a dink from a "good" one

One rule of thumb, make sure the cutters are above the ears That' one of the great things about Nathan's setups, you can usually see them coming from way off so you will have time to hit them with your binos and get great video footage.

Thanks. I think I'll figure it out! Hopefully the first one is a Monster, so I would have to think about it!
Anything else you can think of would be great! This is so new to me.
