I like 94s a lot now. I hated em as a kid, he safety of squeezin the handle bugged me. I bought my dad a trapper in. 357 and he shot a javelina this past year with it. 94 yards and prone using fiber optic bead and peep. Its a neat gun. It fits completely in my eberlestock scabard. Makes a great haul any where gun. I want a trapper with a red dot. I think it would work real slick but wouldn't quite look right.

I have a pair. They are great optics. They are as good as they say they are. I you are ever in the valley ou are more than welcome to look throih mine. I bouht them for a back up pair and i like them a lot.

I have some rain suede stuff. I really like it on warmer rainy bow hunts. It breathes well and is really quiet. My sister wore it on a 14 day colorado back country hiking trip. THey never were below 10k I think. Any ways she was the only one who's rain gear held up and kept her dry. I havent looked at what they have now, my stuff is probably 5 years old but still looks new. Even after Ive used the heck outa it.

I got into em a little bit this past weekend. The worst I ever had was down south last year, they got me good.

If somebody only buys the cams I'd be interested in the boxes

Congrats on another fine archery buck this year!

Ive noticed some of it too, slowly creapin in over the last year. Haters....

Dont beat yourself up if things dont go right. Growin up I always heard all these great stories about all these great shots. 5 or 6 years ago my sister missed a bedded coues buck a long ways off. She can shoot too. She got so upset with herself, she thought she let us down. I told her that just because we never talk about the screw ups and misses donesnt mean they don't happen. She just grew up thinking missing or runnin your stuff off rarely happens. It does happen, even if we dont talk about it. Stay after it, it will happen eventually.

They work real well for an easy supper around a fire like that too. Just take em outa the ice chest and lay em on a bed of coals and put some more on top, works good. I agree with Lark on the neck meat, I make chilli with it. Its best with small cubes of neck meat and ground bulk italian sausage.

Interesting article. He has some good point about learning how to be profecient without relying on the biggest, fastest, hyper accurate rifles. I dont like muzzle blast at all, but I can't argue with distance and wind bucking abilities of a heavy bullet. I still like my hot rods, they have served me well. I always wondered if AZ has the highest per capita of big magnums; RUM, STW, Weatherby, various wild cats. I dont think he was concidering the AZ hunter who practices with his equipment and wants to take a coues across a windy canyon. I would have to agree with him for most of the US and rest of the world. If I lived back east, I wouldn't be haulin my RUM. I like my .243 too much. Thanks for sharing. With the title I though for sure it was going to be praising the 7mm-08.

If you have a buddy; guttin and splitting is is the quickest if your some what close to camp. I leave the hide on and take the hind end off as far back as possible (think long back straps). If im solo and some what close I quarter it up and pack it in my back pack. A whole coues buck quartered will fit in a good sized pack, mine is a gunslinger. If im real deep, I refuse to haul bones. I bone it out on the spot. I can fit 2 boned out coues in my pack. If its handy I hang a quarter in a tree and put my game bag or trash bag or t-shoot below it and cut/shave the met off the bone and let the entire piece fall intop the bag.

I use signs if I hunt water WHEN IM ON IT. Just to prevent some guy walkin up and feelin bad about it. Ive done it before when i dont see a guy in a tree, I feel prtty bad. I usually leave a waterbottle and a hat in my blind to to let people know some one has been using it. Thats a bad deal 3 days early.

Look into kenton industries too, they make turrys for many types of scopes an are very helpfull. Give them a call with any questions. They know their stuff.

Legally its first come first serve. I would never put a cam up where some one elses was, unless it was on water, in the middle of nowhere. I would never put a cam on some one elses salt , even it looked old and ran down. I just tell people to folow one simple rule to solve nearly all problems, "Dont be a dumb a**!" Not necesarily directed toward you but perhaps the person who added a camera. I cant really tell from the little bit of story but its still a good rule to follow no matter what.

Pm sent on cast iron stuff, dutch oven and griddle, and grinder

Is there a legal description for "abandoned"? If we could make the item not "abandoned" they couldn't remove it. What if cameras had a not sayin "this is not abandoned property". It seems like FS remove things when they are abonded and stealing cameras is not illegal because they are abandoned property. It seems to me that the easiest way to solve it, is to show the items are not abonded, but I dont know the legal description of the word.

I prefer double reeds and a grunt tube, but also use a small blue reed one from primos. My dad uses really old reed call that has a 1" diameter tube about 6" long. It sounds like a little punk bull.

Thanks for he tips! I had my mind made up id try he injection my self on a smaller buck for a euro and artificial for a good buck. What would you do if you arrowed a big buck and wanted him shoulder mounted in velvet?

700rc2 is definately the way to go. If i had deeper pockets i would have the outdoorsmans pan head. I have 2 700rc2s. They are easy to use, light weight, fairly inexpensive, and last a long time.

Clay is top notch. Your stuff is done when he says it will be, no excuses. His work is top notch. I had him do my dec at from 08 and is my favorite mount. He does wt ears different than anyone else and makes the deer look real sharp.

this is a pic of a bull last year, I figured he hit is sword on somethin and stunted its growth or a body injury. Now this year hes goofier, any ideas what caused this? I thought maybe a left body injury last year caused his right but now they kinda match. He would be a heck of a bull w/ 4's

Red jeep with one in the front window. I seent it!

Great buck! Even coues junkies like a big ol flop ear. I hope he's 40 yards from you with a bow instead of a camera next time.

If those dates are right, he will make 90 easily I think. His mains got a bit to go, i don't see his brows getting much longer but he would definately be arrow worthy in my book as is. He's got 3 weeks of growth since the pics were taken.
