Dont know. When its raining Im inside and cant see them.

I found this deal… I grabbed a bunch. 9mm Closeout - Blazer 124 gr Able Ammo

Happens every year.

SSS The speaker is probably right. This state is a mini CA. We hunters are too busy fighting each other over trivial shoot like crossbows and long range rifles to be concerned about something of importance.

Just picking a random unit here. But if unit 8 coues has a quota of 5 deer for the entire archery season, chances are it won't even make it to January right? If there is still 1 left in the quota how do you make plans to hunt that unit in December/January? It would have been nice to place a quota for each season(5 in August, 5 in Dec., 5 in Jan.). The later you get into the prime rut the less likely the unit will even be open.

Lance are you building this?

Golden Algae, also affecting Apache and Saguaro right now.

Lots of great info here guys thank you all. Ultimately I'm gonna let him make his choice but I'm slightly pushing for at least the certs just so he has time to still be a kid and not have to full on thrust himself into the real world.

I didn't misspeak. I am in total agreement they hurt average hunters. I would like to think this is going to make it harder for an outfitter to book a nonresident hunter when they don't know if a unit is going to be open or not. I didn't see it but there was also a cap of 10% of total tags allocated to nonresidents discussed earlier. I am hoping that is still a go. The areas I hunt in the Dec/Jan hunts have been overrun with guided NR hunters the last 2-3 years. Maybe this slows it down. If it doesn't the "average Joe" is screwed again. I am not sure I like the quota system but something needs to be done. I would have preferred to see a draw but with the huge influx of people, drought, loss of habitat, predation and hunting pressure the desert mule deer herd needs some help.

Hope the guys pushing for quotas are happy. Those archery kill numbers are pretty restrictive. Gonna hurt outfitters

To answer the OP's original question. The best coues deer rifle is the one that you actually learn to shoot and practice with. Most guns can shoot sub 1/2 MOA but most guys shouldn't be shooting past 400 yards and struggle to hit animals (on the first shot) at that distance. So, pick a gun, any gun and get really, really good with it. That is the perfect gun. FYI - this is the perfect time of the year to be sending pills down the tube.

Last years archery bull. Really cool bull with big fronts and very unique.

It's a black bear that identifies as white.

For how long who knows, getting to that age when stuff doesn't work like you would like it too...🙂

I have a flatline, but since getting onX I haven’t used a paper map.

Guidelines approved as written. Great showing from the hunter/conservation community.

I have built two. First; Winchester 270, REM700 LA ADL, 24" Lilja #3 barrel, tuned up REM trigger, Brown Precision pounder kevlar stock, Talley Lightweight rings and a Swaro Z3 3-9X36. Built by High Tech Customs in Colorado. Very light and very accurate with Hornady 140 SST Superformance ammo. Figured the 270 was about the most ideal Coues cartridge, especially with a 140 gr SST bullet starting at 3100 + FPS. SST has worked at least a dozen times Fromm 330 yards to 60 yards. Second rifle 6.5C in a Defiance Deviant Hunter with a 24" Brux #4 barrel, Trigger Tech Special in a Grayboe Terrain stock. Grayboe BDL magazine, Vortex rings and Leupy VX-6 HD built by Phoenix Customs. Doubles as a Silhouette Rifle, no trouble knocking down Rams at 500 meters. The 6.5C weighs 9lb 9oz, makes for a solid shooter at longer ranges with less recoil than the 270, the Creed works fine for shots out to 500 which is about as far as I want to shoot at a buck. I like the traditional stock profile because it handles naturally like a shotgun shooting quail you jumped up, just like bucks do sometimes.

First off I'd like to thank Boarman03 and his son for helping with the draw for the gun giveaway.So here is the draw video .

At 100 I'd use eathier.They would work .I'd probably run barns copper or hammer bullets .The copper will penetrate deep and usually hold weight better .No jacket to separate.If you guys have your heart set on old school lever iron sighted 45-70 shoot me a pm I could help with that.

You will next time now.

That would be their! Their useless opinion or make some “funny/witty” comment….Just trying to help…😉

I would order some 180 grain Hammer Hunters. They are easy to develop a load for and are not very seating depth sensitive. https://hammerbullets.com/product/308-cal-180-hammer-hunter/ There are many you-tube videos of Hammer Hunter gel tests. After the petals break off and diverge like shrapnel into the tissues, the shank has a flat front like a destructive wadcutter. I have used the 124 HH from my 6.5 WSM on cow elk the past two falls and have been happy with the results. Both shanks have exited with behind the shoulder shots. I did find a petal under the offside hide of the first cow, I did the gutless method so no internal autopsy was made.

I don’t think so, he stepped on his dick pretty hard in that thread.
