Cracker chamois eh, my mate Scotty shot it. Its just a tad under 11 inches. And about 13-14 years old. I shot my 10 1/2 inch buck in the same valley in 2016 and there's another in there that'll crack 10 easily, another mate shot and that on two separate occasions and failed to connect...

The tent is ok. I find it condensates quite bad, even with the vents all open. The actual design isn't the greatest in strong wind, the top cross pole has no real support at each end so in strong gusts they flex a fair bit. It's a common design I see now, a copy of an MSR. I've had it out in some serious wind and it's survived but only just, whereas my mates MSR's snapped poles. The hilleberg he replaced it with snapped a pole on another trip, whereas the hopper survived. Have had to make some repairs after that trip...replacement of the pole connectors mainly as they flogged out. I've also had in some heavy rain and it's kept me dry. I would buy another ... due to the low cost ... but would be a bit more picky about where I used it. I may try another of his designs at some point...
