Just one?

Interesting observations...thanks for posting about it. I will ask some of the bird biologists at AGFD and see if they want to give an opinion.

Well, Mark Boulanger and Brandon McDermott have had a heck of a time in the last twelve months. Congratulations to them both! Check out their awesome deer! Brandon and Mark got these first two bucks on the San Carlos last year. Brandon's monster non-typical (unofficially scored at 141!) here is a link to the hunt story: http://www.coueswhitetail.com/hunt_stories...n_mcdermott.htm Mark got a fine 105 buck that trip also. Brandon also got a 115 buck with his muzzleloader last year in AZ. This year on San Carlos Mark shot a 117 buck. And this year Mark also got an excellent 107 buck in NM.

Great story and congratulations!

Wow, great post Hector!! Wish I had been there with you guys! It doesn't get any better than that. I am glad you got to do two weeks rather than the standard 5 day hunt. I love hunting in Mexico!! The people, the food, the quality of deer, and the beauty of the country all combine to make a great experience. Thanks for "taking us along with you" through your post.

here is the link to the women's camp info, we still have some space if you are interested. http://www.coueswhitetail.com/womens_javelina_hunt_2011.htm

Congratulations!! Thanks for the pics!

huh? what are you talking about?

LOL!! It's not that you suck, it's that everyone is so much better at it than you Heck it's a tough contest when there are so many people that guess within 1 inch!

Do you guys that make summer sausauge use a cure of any kind or do you skip that if you are not smoking it?

+1

here are the results from the guess the score contest. Larry's buck grossed 94 7/8 and Chris's buck grosses 106 3/8 so the total gross score of the two bucks was 201 2/8. The top 6 guesses were all within 2/8 of an inch! And then there were many that were an inch or less off. here are the top 6 who win a CouesWhitetail.com tshirt, hat or a havalon knife....you choose. email me at amanda@coueswhitetail.com with your name and mailing address and prize selection, so I can get you a prize. Thanks to all who played and to Chris and Larry for sharing their success with us! firstcoueswas80 anthonyrmatthews youngbuck willhunt4coues Will K dzell

How about sharing some pictures??

So I was talking to my neighbor, who I love because he is an avid hunter, reloader and gun nut. He has taught me tons about reloading and guns over the years. Anyway, I mentioned the women's javelina hunt coming up and started talking about handguns with him. he started showing me his collection and one of the guns was a black powder revolver. I had never thought about black powder in terms of anything other than a muzzleloader so I got all interested and now I want to use that pistol to kill a javelina next month. Has anyone ever used one? This is a 6-shot revolver.....44 caliber if I remember right...I think it's cool! Who here owns one? what have you shot with it?

Cool clay! I will give him a call.

Here is a pic of my current two dogs, Julie and Sunshine. They have a ball whenever we get around snow! This photo is just a cell pic and it was taken a couple days ago on a walk not far from my house. Happy Dogs!! and here are some pics of my old dogs that we had to put down in the last few years. They were great dog friends! the shepard was a sweet old dog, so this photo always cracks me up with all her teeth snarling while playing...she looks possessed!!

Sorry, I didn't see your post until today. But the answer is no...as long as you use quotes. Try something like "24a javelina" and you will be able to search for posts with that phrase in it. apple banana Find posts that contain at least one of these words +apple +juice Find posts with both words +apple -juice Find posts with 'apple' but not 'juice' apple* Find posts with 'apple' and/or 'applesauce' "Some Words" Find posts with the phrase 'some words of wisdom', 'some words' but not 'some noise words'

here are some pics of the one I am going to use. We went out the other day practicing with it. I was pretty accurate with it out to 40 yards after we moved the sights a little. I will use shooting sticks to increase accuracy if I can. I was joking with my neighbor (Pat Termain) that we were baking cookies because we used crisco to seal each chamber to keep each shot from igniting the other chambers. And we used corn meal to take up the extra space in the chamber after we put powder in. here are some pics of the process. I loved it! Used round lead balls, even though my neighbor has made his own conical ones for hunting. chambers filled with powder and cornmeal before adding lead ball and tamping down. photo showing one chamber with lead ball before ceiling it, and one with cornmeal before adding lead ball and tamping it down to depth of the one where you can see lead ball. here is the final crisco sealing on the chambers:

Congrats on the buck!! Post some field photos if you have them. Love your avatar with the kids in it
