Prohunt

It' almost time for Coues to start dropping thier antlers here in Az. I will probably start looking for fresh sheds in a week or two. If I find any I will post it here. Hopefully some other shed hunters will do the same. Travis

Thank you Elkster9 !

Does this scope have an adjustable objective? Prohunt

Hey everyone! Do any of you shoot the .308 Warbird??I am trying to figure out what grain of bullets to shoot through my Sako Warbird.I was considering the 130 gr Barnes X that is moly coated and undersized and can be pushed over 4000 fps with over a 90 percent weight retention. Everything I have read says this is the fastest but not the most accurate. The 168 gr were supposed to be the most accurate but now Lazz came out with a 150 gr Laserhead or some name like that. I just wanted to know if any of you have had any experience with these different bullets. I will probably use this gun for Coues so I don't really need a heavy bullet. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Travis

P.M. sent.

You have a P.M. Prohunt

Coues7, I just sent you a PM about your Swaros. Hope to hear from you soon! Travis/Prohunt

Joe, Your welcome. If Amanda or Jim White don't have an adapter then your best bet is probably the "Webster" type like Jade is talking about. I have some friends at work that have 15 x 60 Doctors that use homemade "Websters" and really like them. Good Luck! Travis/Prohunt

Joe, I know that the Outdoorsmans in the Valley make a machined aluminum "clamp" that is a universal fit for most binos. Also, you may want to e-mail Amanda about this since she carrys Jim Whites stuff. He makes adapters for most types of binos and his products are awesome and carry a lifetime warranty. I hope this helps. Travis/Prohunt

I agree with Doug about the compressed air in a can (thats what I use at home.) I use the Crooked Horn Outfitters " Spudz" Lens Cloth & it works great as long as it is somewhat clean and you have blown the dust off of your glass. I use the Lens Pen for dust removal in the field. Just rmember when cleaning off dust/ debris hold the lens end down & let gravity do some work too. Travis/Prohunt

Falls, I have harvested a bunch of Coues with my 700 Remington .25-06. My gun shoots great with the 120 and 100 grain Core-Lokt's. The only mods I have done to this gun is a glass bedding and lightened trigger and this is probably my most accurate gun I own. Good luck! Travis

I would (without a second of thought) take the non-typ. I have taken lots of typicals and only had a chance to harvest a non-typical once. He was about a 2-3 year old buck and one side looked like a antelope horn but backwards. I had him at 200 yards broadside but decided to let him grow bigger. I figured I would see him again (this was a place I hunted regularly) but I never did again. Great story CB1 that is a dream come true! Travis

vml, You are welcome, congrats! Travis

Alan, Welcome to CW. I live in Globe, Az. and work at the Phelps Dodge Smelter running assays with XRF (x-ray.) I have hunted Coues since I was 12. This is an awesome site, hope you enjoy it. Travis

vml, Your welcome for the info, I hope it helps. There is a place called Country Natural Cuts in Globe. A friend of mine named Nick Rogers is the co-owner. They cut up my father-in-laws elk last year and did a great job. The number is: 928-425-9646. If you call him tell him Travis sent you. They are the only ones I know around here but there could be more. Good luck! Travis

vml, It is in 24A. You need to go through Globe like you are headed to SanCarlos /Safford/Tucson. When you are in Globe you are on Hwy 60. As you head toward SanCarlos/Safford/Tucson the road turns into Hwy 70/77(just past Taco Bell). A mile or two outside of Globe(past the last Circle K in Globe) the Hwy splits. To the left is Hwy 70 (towards SanCarlos/Safford.) You want to go right at this split towards Tucson on Hwy 77. After you turn up 77 Granthams Ranch is on the left hand side of the Highway a few miles up. To your right will be the foothills of the Pinals. I have seen pigs on both sides of 77 all the way to the pass at ElCapitan. I asume you are scouting for pigs. You just need to be patient when glassing these areas becase the brush is usually taller than the pigs are. Yes the Pinals have snow and we are supposed to get a couple of inches of snow in Globe tomorrow! Good Luck. Travis

Amanda, Great story and video. With bucks like that in one area, I know where your going to be next year! Travis

That is an awesome buck, especially with a bow! It looks like it will gross over 100", great harvest! Travis

vml, I live in Globe and I have never heard of Graham Ranch. I could be wrong because I don't know all of the ranches around here but I know of most because my dad and grandpa have ranched in this area for many years. Could you possibly be thinking of Grantham Ranch out on Hwy 70? Travis

AZ. Guide, I saw some "Fan Tails" in the fall of '03 in unit 23. It's antlers were: heavy 3x3 about 5 inches wide, 4 inches tall and he probably weighed 50 pounds.The other buck was a little smaller and a 2x3. Travis

Amanda, Congrats on your deer. Great story! Travis

I have had a bunch of one shot kills on Coues with my .25-06 using 100 grain Remington Core-lokt bullets. Travis

CB1, I know it was killed in 24B by someone that lives here in Globe. It was rough scored at 120" (gross score.) It has a 20 inch spread and 19 inch main beams. I gave him Amandas phone # to get it scored officially. Maybe Amanda will post something or if I hear of anything new I will let you know. Travis

Red, If you are interested in hunting Coati in 24A shoot me an email at kholder@phelpsdodge.com and I will tell you some places I have spotted them around here. Travis

John, In the spring I would check meadows and places with lots of grass. When they come out in the spring they love to chow on grass. Good luck! Travis
