CouesWhitetail

Loved the story!! You have a fun writing style!! Thanks for sharing the details and taking such nice photos! Congratulations on your first big game animal!! sounds like you did everything right! Amanda

Wow, that's a ton of elk crossing in that little area. Good thing the driver wasn't on that ice patch when the elk started crossing! Amanda

Clay said it was probably CJ, but figured I would post anyway. Is it you? Sorry, the sun made it hard to get the sticker to show well.

Well, I thought it sure looked good.... I think I will get the Globe City Council to pass a rule that all Jeeps in Globe must have a CouesWhitetail.com sticker on them!! Seems strange when I see one that doesn't have one! Amanda

Awesome story!! Congratulations! And yes, be very careful with those havalon knives!!!! They are crazy sharp! They do make some with blunt tips too so you are less likely to poke a hole in the hide. here is the link to the knive page if you want to see the blunt tipped blades: http://www.coueswhitetail.com/bookstore/havalon_knives.htm

+1 Not a big fan of twitter......but hey, maybe this will make me sign up. Amanda

Already a deer named Goliath. A mule deer, but still technically a deer LOL!!

I was thinking the same thing, but then I realized some of us have inappropriate stickers on our jeeps....wouldn't be a pretty picture! Amanda I am sure Clay could take off the other sitcker... !!!! Considering he is a good friend of mine, you would think he would be up for that, but he is oddly resistent to it. In fact I think he likes twisting that knife deeper into my heart..... Amanda What stickers are you guys talking about? I only have a bowtech, coueswhitetail.com, and a game & fish sticker. You guys sure are weird.

Got lots of bucks on my cams. Two are very nice (well, it's hard to call anything nice now that we have see the Declay buck, but anyway.... ) What do you think? Buck 1: Buck 2 And some smaller bucks:

Yes, I believe you are exactly correct Doug. If I remember right there is some research demonstrating this. I was just thinking about this the other day actually and wondering if 5 years ago we had good rainfall for fetus development and it's partly why we have a pulse of big bucks this year. I know we had some good rainfall for antler development this past season, but I think we may also have had a pulse of strong fetus development 5-6 years ago. Amanda

you can see several here: http://www.coueswhitetail.com/video_clips/video_clips.htm check out the Chicken Buck....that's one we will never seen happen like that again! Amanda

Rained hard here in Globe the other day. Lots of thunder and lightning! Nice storm. I too have been seeing greenup in the places around here. Seems like tiny filaree starting to grow. Amanda

While it would be interesting, Do we really need a moon chart to predict that Coues frequently water around midday (11-2 or so)? Amanda

Hahaha...By the way I need another CWT sticker for the bronco... Email me a sticker request and I can get one out to you. amanda@coueswhitetail.com Amanda

Why don't you do a memorial post for him in the Memorial section of the forum. Post up some pics of him and tell some more stories. He sounds awesome!! You are indeed lucky to have spent so much time with him. Amanda

Happy Birthday Doug!! I am confident Rica will take you somewhere fun!! You will have to post pics of where you guys go! It's great having you as a forum member Doug! Thanks for all your contributions that help make this a great site! Amanda

Actually the top buck was out a week before the 2nd buck. They weren't there during the same day. Amanda

Your Jeep looked good!! What size tires are those??? Amanda

Try calling AllPredatorCalls.com... Owner is AP Jones (great guy), same author of Javelinahunter.com and maker of J-13. I know APC.com is in Tucson, it's more of a warehouse not a store, they're set up for online operations, but should be able to ship to you ASAP! +1 JavelinaHunter.com is an excellent website and AP Jones and JavelinaHunter.com are a large part of the inspiration for CouesWhitetail.com. Amanda

Sorry to hear about your friend passing.....Do you have any photos of him to post? Would help put a face to him for those of us that didn't know him. Amanda

We have a memorial section where you can post stuff like this....I will move it over there. Amanda

Unfortunately these bucks don't come by very often. I think the cam was up for three weeks this last time and each of the big bucks came by once during that time frame. And for the many months before that, the first big buck only came by once and it was at night! I think I will put some cams farther down the creek and see if they spend more time down there. I have one up the creek a 1/2 mile or so and they don't go up there to that water hole. Amanda

Wow, I missed this thread way back in Oct. Nice Antelope!! Very cool to get one with a handgun. Amanda
