Big Browns

Well I checked my salt lick last weekend and it's getting hammerd. Therefore I put a camera on it today. I tried putting a camera on it last August, but the camera stopped working after 2 days. Hopefully I get some good pictures, even better a monster coues buck. I cant wait for Fall. Anyone else starting to scout yet?

Dont worry I respect everyone's opinion's on this site, even though I do disagre with you. I've compared my brunton's with the Nikon Monarch's in the field. My Brunton's were way better. The Brunton's were able to sustain the light out side for longer period's of time as well. I'm not saying the Nikon's arent good, because they are. I just feel the Brunton's are better. I would still go with the Swar. , but if you dont have the money atliest try out several pairs of bino's before deciding. Please dont take offense, it's just my 2 cents.

Welcome to CWT. If you can afford the Swarovski's do it. If you can't you should consider the Brunton Eternia 15x51's. I have the Eternia 11x45 and the 15x51. They are great. I can free hand the Brunton's easier than I can the Swarovski's. They aren't as bright as the Swarovski's, but for the price you cant beat them. best of luck.

It's Hot, boring and nothing to hunt. I cant wait for August. I cant wait to go hunting again. Anyone else tired of the summer duldrums?

Well I guess I should have elaborated more on why I hate summer. I dont like it, Because I love to hunt Deer, Pigs, Elk, Antelope and Bear. Dont get me wrong I like hunting Rabbits, coyotes and I will hopefully kill a lion this year, but they dont get my heart racing like the others. To me there is something special about the first hunt come the end of summer or beginning of fall. dont get me wrong. I love to fish. I go almost every weekend. I love to go shed hunting, even thought I sucked this year. I probably scout more than most people. To me there is just something so special about the big game season. I dont know how to explain how I feel. I guess I just miss being out hunting and helping people. For example this last season I was out either hunting or helping people every weekend from the begining of November untill the end of January. I'm not joking, every weekend. So now that Turkey and horn season is comming to an end I'm missing the weekend trips. Plus it's to HOT!

I think Bass Pro has the best fishing section out of all 3. Sportsman's has the best fly tying section and Cabela's has a better hunting section. Just my 2 cents. Bass Pro is huge isn't it. I was pretty disapointed with there Aquarium. I do think it's easier to find things at Bass Pro, unlike Cabela's, especially in the fishing secton. Sportsman's still has them both beat when it comes to the ease of finding things and there quicker to get in and out of.

Im thinking about getting my first Trail Camera, but Im not sure what to get. Im leaning toward the Universal Digital Trail Camera Kit that uses the olympus D360L by Pixar. Does anyone have any expierance with this kit or any advice on another kit or camera that would be better to get. Thanks guys I really appreciate the help. Adam

Thanks for the help guys, Im definatly going to order the kit form Pix. If anyone is getting rid of one for a reasonable price let me know. Thanks again. Adam

That's a great deal. To bad I bought one a month ago.

I might be intrested. What's your contact number? Adam

A friend and I went scouting yesterday for the upcoming Archery Deer hunt. Neither of us expected to see anything out of the ordinary, but we were wrong. We found 3 deer that by our estimates will all be record book Deer. We think the biggest will go well over 100 if not around 110. Of course it's hard to tell at this point, but they were huge, lots of mass and alot of growth. 2 4x4's and 1 3x3, all we could say when we saw the big one was HOLY #@$% that's a TODE. We also saw 2 small Muley bucks. Before this weekend I wasn't sure whare I was going to spend my time in September, I know now.

I spent alot of time this past January during the archery hunt. I spent most of it west of sunflower and west of MT. Ord. We didn't see much. We saw most of our deer around Payson, North West of Rye. If I were you I would go higher around Payson. If you need any more help feel free to give me a call and I will try to point you in the right direction. Adam (928)595-1554

What animal are you looking for? Whitetail or Coues deer?

I would Highly suggest getting a pair of Brunton Eternia's. I currently have there 11x45 and will be getting there 15x56 soon. The 11x45 are 420 at sportsman's and the 15x56 are 500. I've been using mine for about a year now and I love them. I haven't seen any other glass in this price range that's compatable, atliest with my eyes. They are definately worth looking at. Good Luck. Adam

Im elated, I got drawn for 22 south Bull. This will be my first Elk hunt. I cant wait for November. Im going scouting this weekend. I dont know the area real well so Im gunna get started. YEEEEEEEEEPPPPPPPPPEEEEEEEE. Adam

I just wanted to take some time to introduce myself. I've recently discovered CouesWhitetail.com and I have now found a reason to live during the off season... I've discoverd hunting 3 years ago and to say the least it has consumed my every wakeing thought. I love the thrill of the chase and the gratification of success. I do count my blessing's, for the short time I've been hunting I've met some great mentor's wich have led me to the few success's I have had. I was fortunate to have taken a MD in 05 and a fat desert pig(my favorite) this past January, Both with my bow. Hopefully the upcoming draw results will lead me to a Monster Elk, but Im not holding my Breath. Anyway I love the site and look forward to contributing to it. Sincerly Adam Young

Thanks, I will be e-mailing you soon. Adam

I can finally breeth. Im going scouting this weekend. I know it's a little early, but I cant wait to get out there. 22 South Bull YEEEEEEEEEEPPPPPPPPPPPPEEEEEEE. It should be a hard, but really fun hunt. Adam

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS. 22 South in November. Should be a tough, but fun hunt. First time hunting for Elk and my second time putting in, I hope my luck continues. Adam

It sounds like were all going to be sweating are butts off. Im going to be hunting unit 1 so it should be nice an cool, but if that doesn't work I'll be in the desert. If any of you guys want to save money on gas while scouting let me know I would'nt mind looking at some new area's or showing people new area's. Adam

I bet there all running around like chickens with there heads cut off!

SwitchBack, Any luck yet. Im praying the charge doesn't go away, I've heard some have. Adam

My CC got hit thismorning for 156.00. I guess Were hunting Elk. I sure hope it's a Bull. I hope this doesn't mean we have to wait another week for the draw results. Adam

Another year listening to everyone elses elk hunting stories. Congrats to all who did get the CC hit. Im still hopeing against hope, but I dont see much sunlight in the tunnel. Adam

I sure hope it's today. Im so freaking excited, My CC had a hit for 156.00. I guess My buddy and I are hunting Elk. The CC hit came up this morning. Please God be a BULL tag. Adam
