    I did have some spots from google earth but to many people were there when I rolled up some just used the binos to spot a likely looking place from the road and somewhere I new I would be able to get to the tops without getting stuck. Plus had a good look at the topo map on my gps

    Didn't take tge cooker as water was going to be an issue
    There were so many people up there and pulled out of my original plan and just found a likely looking spot and hit it from the side of the road.
    After a gutbuster over some sketchy areas I hit the tops at 7pm.

    Saw fark all, wind had picked up and was blowing a gale all night.

    Ended up carrying along the ridge in the morning and saw chamois within 30mins. 1158 yards the geovids read, much further than I have managed previously so I was happy with that.

    Closed the gap to 410yards and polaxed a nanny with the wsm. Very happy with terminal performance from the amax, was quite impressive.

    Saw maybe 10-12 animals which was good but nothing much in the horn department.

    Few pics

    Burris xtr 4-16x50. Very happy with it and has taken a beating and still goes strong, dials well. Only complaint is size of the turrets, huge.
