    WTS Summit Specialist MLB Climber

    2013 Summit Specialist MLB. Weighs right at 16 pounds. Haven’t used it much the past few years since moving to an area with no limbless trees. Was used quite a bit before that.

    Calling etiquette

    Second time hunting elk, so I could be completely off base here, so forgive me if that is the case.
