What the heck!! You guys are killing me tonight. A 117 by Jody and 122 by Geoff!! WOW! How much can a heart take?? Congrats to all. Amazing buck! Amanda

Looks like the same bull to me too! Nice to have several years of pics of him. Nice work! Amanda

I think I am having a heart attack!!! I can't get over that buck. Love the non-typical points, the mass, and beam length! How awesome! Amanda

For those that might be interested since he called this monster wife part two....here is the link to part one from last year. http://forums.coueswhitetail.com/forums/in...?showtopic=7507

Please tell me she entered the contest!! WOW!!! OH MY!!! Someone pick me up off the floor! SPOT and STALK, UNREAL!! Awesome! Amanda

Awesome! Congratulations on getting your book done. I am sure it is a great read! Amanda

TAM didn't say Grong arrowed a buck, but that Grong sent him a photo of a buck. My guess is that it was someone else's deer. Amanda

Congrats on your buck! Not sure how you got in trouble with me for posting pics? You can post them here if you like. But if you want them posted in the photogallery you have to email them to me with the details. Otherwise they are only in the forum, which is fine if that's what you want. Amanda

Very nice buck! Congratulations! Just a reminder to all that if you want to see your buck posted in the photogallery on the main site (rather than just in the forum), email me the pics and details. amanda@coueswhitetail.com Amanda

Thanks for taking those pics! That's awesome. Not the best shirt for a 100 degree day, but at least you looked cool!!! Hope you don't mind if I post that on the tshirt order page. (Clay yours might go up also!) Amanda

Way to go Jason!! I enjoyed reading about your hunt!! Congrats! Amanda

You might look into buying National Geographic's TOPO! program. It costs about $100 but you get the entire state at five different levels, including 1:24,000 topo maps, which is what I find most useful. You can store all your waypoints in there from your hunts. It's a slick program and then you don't have to worry about getting maps every year for each hunt. You will already have the entire state. You can print a small map that shows the area you want to hunt rather than carrying around an entire topo map. It's seamless so you don't have to worry if your hunt area is at the corner of several topo maps. The maps don't have land ownership though, so it's best to supplement with USFS maps or some other map that shows ownership. Amanda

BenBrown isn't just making that up. A scrape generally refers to the clearing of debris off the ground and scent marking there and a rub is on a tree caused by the elk or deer rubbing it's antlers against the tree. It's just a way to differentiate the two types of marks made during the breeding season. I imagine the terminology was made up by us egghead biologists.... It doesn't really matter what you call it as long as the people talking to you know what you are referring to. Amanda

Thanks for posting the tribute. I had heard the guy who died was a hunter, but it's great to hear more details about his passion for Coues. It's a tragic loss to the family and friends....my heart goes out to them. Amanda

Just a note since I just looked into this for the Coues buck contest.....if you take money for the contest, then ALL the money must go back out as prizes. Amanda

Love those views from the back, amazing top half of that rack!! Amanda

Outstanding!! Thanks for sharing the story and pics with us!! That's a great hunt and bull! Congratulations!! Amanda

Cool. We look forward to seeing a pic of you in the shirt with your coues!! Have a great hunt. Amanda

Yes, Gino. That one he is wearing is the prairie color. You can order it on the tshirt page. http://www.coueswhitetail.com/bookstore/tshirts.htm Amanda

Outstanding Clay!! Thanks! Looks great, don't you think? Amanda

Good idea not waking up the wife!! I can just see it now...hey honey, come on, wake up, they need a picture of the shirt in the forum! No, it can't wait 'til morning!

Wow, pretty impressive photo series!! Amanda

Somebody post a pic of yourself wearing one, I want to see how they look! Amanda

Guys, A couple points I would like to make. Please remember that this forum is not to be used to bash anyone. I think Redbeard could have brought up this topic without bringing Randy into question. I am all for a productive discussion about ethics and all, but I would like to point out that Redbeard has said repeatedly that he is making assumptions about use of radios on this and other kills. Apparently Redbeard has some information on some hunts where radios were used, but that is a far cry from knowing that all or most of Randy's kills have been done by radio. I don't think we should assume that Randy hasn't done an archery kill by fair chase rules. I just want to caution everyone not to make statements that can be considered slander against someone in this forum. I have let this thread run because it seemed to me Redbeard was just trying to make a point and a productive discussion followed. However, please remember no one here has all the facts about all his hunts and let's not make broad statements that can hurt someone's reputation. From what I know of Randy is a great guy and an excellent hunter. Let's continue the discussion without attacking him (or Redbeard, or anyone else). Amanda

Glad you like 'em!!! The Post office sure gets stuff out fast. I mailed your shirts out at 4 pm yesterday! Amanda
