Here is the Coues deer I was able take with my statewide tag with the help of Kory and Bobby of A3 . There knowledge of the area and with the deer was truly amazing. Once we found this deer they spent hours breaking it down. It was decided that we would try and harvest this deer. We had to relocate to find him again and after 8 hours of waiting he finally reappeared just before dark . Now he was with another buck of similar size but was a typical 3x3 with amazing eye guards. To be able to have two 130 inch bucks standing next to each other I thought I was seeing things. Now I had to make a decision it was an easy one for me. I like em trashy . After we ranged him at 600 yards I let my Axis works 280 AI do the rest. It was now almost dark Kory and I hiked down to the deer When I put eyes on him I was speechless it was bigger than we had thought . I told Kory I was going to do a life size mount so he was very careful field dressing the deer. He then proceeded to load the deer into his pack whole it’s a pack that he has designed and just now starting to sale it was his smaller one about 3200 CI it was amazing all of the room it had not to mention it’s the best built pack I have ever seen I am getting one. His company name is Desert Mountain Outdoors Well after many miles of packing we got back to camp about midnight what an epic day. Still in shock of being able to take a deer like this thanks to A3 and there amazing guides Kory and Bobby.

This is a pretty unique story, A good friend's son drew a muzzy tag in NM and my buddy got called to do some LEO training in Washington DC and NY for 12 weeks so he called me and asked if I could help his son on his first tag. I only could commit the weekend but after a bunch of rain and couple missed opportunities Colter smoked this bull at 250 yards off his knee for his first bull.

It's a story hard to write but my son killed his first bull after a whirlwind 6 days. He was very limited on time and it got the best of him but we had a great time and lots of memories made. Bull he passed after a tough day the day before. Bull that came in after he didn't have enough patience. This is the bull we were hunting but he had already shot another bull 5 minutes before. Having little experience and no time for a hunt really hurt him but in the end his goal was accomplished. He killed a bull, and we got to spend some good days hunting.

I've been enjoying this thread for years. And now it's my turn to post some photos. Ryder's first Arizona mule deer, at 11 years old.

What is the rate of twist on the barrel?

if you’re hunting a large private ranch it’s probably a dead end to ask the public’s help for said ranch without naming the ranch.

Despite all the garbage that gets dumped on college kids these days I’m proud to know my kid still knows what’s most important 😂 Little bit of Colorado Coyote action!

I'm in that boat. Took the class in 72. This will help me.

I wanted to give an update since it seems nobody ever does after asking for help on a hunt. Anyways, I didn’t kill a coues. Saw a lot of mulies, a lot of elk. Was relieved and a bit surprised I only saw hunters on the road. While I was out hiking and glassing I didn’t see anybody. If I was to do this again, I would spend more time north and I would hunt bears with the idea that I’d shoot a deer if I happen to get a chance.

Everyone's favorite. The warden and his elk!

First elk for my kids this year, awesome experience.

From a few years ago... Another one of my favorite days! He explained that he was not cold but he just needed to steady his binos.

This was the proudest I have seen my 5yr old. 100% found on his own two days ago. His little brother was happy and proud himself when he was allowed to carry the find.

My 6-year-old in our natural habitat.

With the passing of GameHauler I thought it was appropriate to share one of many memories we had together. This was opening day and his daughters shot their first gobblers. Mike will be missed but never forgotten. RIP my friend!

I have some old ones of my older daughter, and some others from both my daughters and my nephew. My nephew's first ever dove. About an hour of slaying doves with my two girls Taylor's first ever dove My older daughter, Paige, and I on a goat hunt. It rained 6" this day. Was miserable, and dangerous with mudslides. But we had a blast. Paige with her first elk Varmint hunting The ONLY fish we caught that day....and Taylor gets a 4.5#er.

My hunting partner

Love this thread!!!

This guy tend to shoot 3 or 4 deer a year between his crossbow and vertical bow. Some are pretty good but he thinks they're all trophies. His brother is content with one deer a year

This is the older one that goes by XB I GO. This is the younger who goes by Tornado.

Here's my kiddos

Unfortunately my son refuses to try big game hunting, but he does enjoy Duck and Dove hunting.

Both older kids passed Hunter Ed at age 10 and have filled tags year after year. Jake's 2013, 14, 15, & 16 deer Joely's 2015, 16 deer Still working on my youngest, he didn't tag out last year but he's been drawn for this year......fingers crossed

This thread, one of the most important ones on here, needs a resurrection. Taylor last year.
