No they are not the same.  McKenzie Tan is a Brush on tan.  Lutan F is similar to Bruce Rittels EZ-100.  They are both an Immersion Tan.

Thanks Jack.....I'm not sure Lets hunt.  Only thing I can think of is that your server or firewall blocks photobucket.  I have ran into that with my firewall on some pics folks put on here.

The other Tan system I used was Larry Bowmans.  It worked pretty well.  Not sure why I changed actually.  It pickled for 24 hours, not three days.  I think it retained a smell though. hmmmmmmm

he pm'ed me and let me know he could see them as attachments. the same thing happened when i posted nwhunter's bull pic's. some people couldn't see them, so i posted them as attachments and then they could be seen by everyone.
i have no clue why?
i think it's a server thing, but don't know.

Beautiful bull, and thanks for taking the time to tell the sotry, I throughly enjoyed it.  How did the calls work, sounds like they are well made and make a sweet sound, is that the case?

Thanks Machias.  The calls worked great.  They are a little loud and I had to work on toning them down, but they worked great.  No others in the woods like them, which is the reason I took them.  I left one on the mountain, and Rick was kind enough to make me another.  I called in quite a few bulls this fall with them, including a monster over in the Selkirks.   I wish I would have taken them with me on my deer hunt as I ran into three cats up there and I would have loved to put the hurt on them by using these calls for what they were designed for. I heard Jackelope nailed a coyote with one on the opener.  Yes, these calls work great and are very well built.  Even if you don't ever use them they are a cool addition to a display.  Those cats were close as it was snowing and the tracks were fresh.  I know you are against shooting those females, but I would have loved to have shoved one of those sharp sticks down her throat.

Very nice bull!  Great story.  Were did you get your wall tent?  I'm just getting back into the hunting scene after my father past away a number of years ago  :'( and am getting stocked up on my gear and reloading equipment.  I take my boys out once a year for late deer season but thought it was time to honor what my ole man taught me and get back to the hills more often.  Thanks

I scored it this summer from a friend.  He just wasn't using it and the girlie friend didn't like the smell of canvas.  I got one heck of a deal and am enjoying it immensly.  I believe he purchased it at Sportsmans Wharehouse.  Its a Montana Canvas.

Its just about time for an official measurement.  Oh Lance, I have a moose, elk  and a deer for you to measure if you are monitoring this. :)
