Awesome picture, Bishup. Deer on the far right is a monster. I'd give my eye teeth to have that truck in my driveway. Thanks for posting.

Thanks to all for the great comments. I'm no expert but put the tape to the buck for a decent measurement of 83.22". The hunting season was full of surprises and disappointments. I tried to stay flexible and get out to fill my tag. With such a long bow season, perhaps bigger bucks ahead. Coues Assasin I'm willing to take just about anyone packing in order they experience horse and mule hunts, just pm me. The canyon this buck fled to would have required mules to be fitted with skis, or parachutes or both.

That's great having them there. Explains the deep pit you keep hidden out back. I've seen javelina and burros out here but since the adjoining land went from Peoria to State Trust, seeing deer sign out back again. Tell Bill Hi for me

Do other states have these draw problems or are we just blessed?

Right! I swear no elk mounts but i would have to mount that bull Thanks guys but I cant bring myself to pay the better part of $1000 to mount a bull just because he's neat looking. He will make a cool little euro mount though.that bull has Euro mount written all over it.

Hey Jake, Told your dad that bull was special, look how many agree. That's going to be an awesome mount. Welcome to Coueswhitetail.com

Wow Anxious to hear the story and the score!

Has some characteristics of both species. Purely speculation.

the best kind, Gary!

So I've discussed this buck with Pixman, Eagleeye and others and at the time we were trailing it and getting glimpses we believed there's a good chance this buck is a hybrid. Post your opinions.

Thanks Wink, I'm not going on another hunt like that without getting back in shape.

Good job guys!

Fantastic! Distance, rifles used?

Cool story. I'd been happy with him or his smaller buddy. I haven't ever been to concerned with rack size but I am getting a new found appreciation for you hunters that put in the time and effort to find the monsters. This buck had a big body and decent rack. Nearly 50% larger than last year's.

thanks man, hope you can join us for the archery hunt.

Thanks sir,Betcha that 'turret' looking mtn on the right brings back some memories.

Its a .243, can't recall if its a 1956 or 1957 model but, my dad bought it for mom new so she could hunt too. It's brought down a lot of game and three species of deer.

thanks buddy. Well earned is right. Knew I was in average shape but going up and down those hills for two days was an eye opener.

What a great first deer, will be tough to top.

thanks, humor is important. I take newbies hunting all the time and have had the same results. But I have never discussed going hunting with someone in 12 hours like we did, then fall off the face of the earth, reappear and lie about it. Dude face it, you're just rude.

I know you're not talking about me duh, and yes I pm'd you my number, resended it 12 hours later when you flaked. You know exactly where im coming from. Grow up and try and ad some honesty to your character. Why did I answer your thread about hunting is a stupid question, everyone on here loves hunting and some of us like meeting new folks to share the outdoors with. However, your pissy, arrogant attitude serves as a reminder that a hunting trip with good buddies or solo is the best way to go.

You come on here whining about respect while being disrespectful is about the height of hypocrisy. I saw your thread for quail hunting and pm'd ya. We had a back and forth. I didn't need you to put me on birds, got them out my back doors and that's where I ended up, but would have gladly put you on them closer to your house. Half way into our discussion, I'm putting my gear together, pm'd you my phone # as to where to meet up, then silence. You think it's cool to leave another hunter hanging that way, bro then looks to me like you got your just desserts. A simple call or pm saying your plans had changed is how a man would have handled it. I didn't come on your threads and whine, didn't tell you how I felt about your disrespect, figured you'd have to learn more about life first. Suck it up. Lmao Anytime you put a stranger or friend onto game, there's a good chance this will happen. Go solo or expect the occasional turd sandwich

tagged a decent buck in 24b at noon, couple miles into the wilderness area. Going in deeper week after next.

Go back. Bucks are creatures of habit with short memories

Repair a fence you just cut? We all know a good percentage of yahoos can't even be bothered to close a gate.
