Here is my 2022 NM archery mule deer. I hunted hard for 8 days, passing many bucks before I was able to sneak in on this buck and his buddy. 46 yard shot through the heart.

But a blind squirrel finds a nut every now and then...

Now this is the coueswhitetail.com that I always enjoyed.. good job everyone for looking out. 👍

Spent the last few days up north chasing bugles. I’ve killed a bull before with a rifle and killed a cow with a bow so not necessarily a stranger to elk hunting but far from seasoned. Lots of failed attempts, long hours sitting trails, miles walked. In the end it came down to me and an ancient bull mixing it up one on one in the timber. Our paths so happened to cross and a single arrow put him down quickly. I believe he will easily qualify for P&Y, making him the first “book” animal I’ve ever taken. Couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out! Side note - I knew he was “old” but after getting a look at his teeth I was hoping maybe someone with more experience could chime in with an age estimate!

I am retiring from hunting. Selling my 2019 Can-Am Commander Max 1000R (4 seater). Excellent condition. 110 hrs on the engine and 1210.4 miles driven. Metal roof and half windshield. Runs awesome. Street legal if you put the right tires on. $17,500.00 Also selling my 2019 Big Tex 35SA Utility trailer. Excellent condition. Upgraded tires for the tough roads. Last pic shows the assisted lift gate system. you can lower it with a finger $2,400.00 Will not sell the trailer before the buggy is gone. Interest people may call or text 602-722-5432

Way to go - that is a huge accomplishment with a longbow. I grew up shooting a recurve, no sights. Yep, 40 yards was about the limit.

Thanks again guys. Even had another pm. You guys are outstanding!

I thought you were gonna cycle. 20lbs of muscle by March sounds like an almost impossible task too. Maybe just dirty bulk and quit looking dikskin lean.

Maybe I don't understand the humor in criticizing everyone and everything. Rarely a positive comment. But he is active.....

I have some Winchester 170gr in NE Mesa if all else falls thru.

I'm in Gilbert and have a box of federal 150s

I'm in north Phoenix I've got some to spare. Not sure grain wise. May have some all copper.

I’ve got almost a full box of 150’s. Winchester if I remember right. I’ll confirm after work. What route are you taking for the hunt? I’m in Mesa.

I'm in Tucson and prob could spare a box. all i have is 150gr.

1100 is an insane deal. At retail cost, I would take the kowa 553 or 554 over the swaro sts or ats all day long. Try finding a swaro ats 65 for 1100. The only reason this hasn't sold is because most people are clueless to how good these little scopes are and how good kowa is in general. Good luck with the sale man. If I didn't already own one I would take it off your hands.

gotta give a nod to abby the spoon lady

Ummm....that is not a Coues. (This is the "coues deer hunting in NM" subforum!)😁 Great muley though.

I thought the NEUs were HDs? Maybe not? My Swaro SLC 15x56s are definitely the HDs, and they are fantastic. I would go 15x56 SLC HD over 12x50 NL Pure as long as you have a good set of 10x42s also. To me, the 15s are a bit much for glassing under a mile. I like a wider FOV for that distance. I have hunted with guys who only have the 12x50 NL Pures, and a buddy and I with the 15x56 HDs were able to pick out pronghorn at 4+ miles and tell the difference between does, an average buck, and a good buck from that distance. Not necessarily HOW good, but definitely could pick out the bigger bucks from the smaller ones to see if they were worth a closer look. The 12s could barely make out the difference between the bucks and does. If you only have one set, the 12s make a bit more sense. Sure wish Swaro would release an NL Pure 15x56.

If you got 10 years out of one Foodsaver, I am amazed. I Kill one every 3-4 years, usually keep a new spare in the garage if I find them on sale. I have not been impressed, looking for a better brand for my next one.

Great bull, and sweet story. Felt like I was there snacking on a piece of raw liver! Congrats, Casey!

That is a great bull can't wait to hear the full story. Congrats to the hunter
