    Next Obsession

    Hahaha! You had to go to the archives to get obsessed with this new buck??!? I would have been in love at first sight! What a great deer. That cluster with 3 points is awesome, and he's a big buck besides. You have a spot with some great genetics, I'm extremely jealous. Good luck putting an arrow through that deer this year. He was found dead. Guy who found him was nice enough to give him to Nontyp.

    A buck that made through

    Wow, wish I was in your shoes on that buck for sure! Love to seem him out on some mass and length on that 2nd beam. Seems to be pretty clear break in the first picture to me Case.

    High fence? The velvet is pretty consistent with ranched deer...

    Couple of Days in the Hills

    I can't ask for the sheds, in both cases young kids found the sheds and I would never ask them to give them up. I know what it is like to find a shed and it doesn't happen every day.I feel fortunate that the finder of the skull gave it too me so I have my pictures and I have the skull, all is good. knowing the full story, I agree with you 100%. Very nice of the finder to let you have that skull. Still sucks he's dead.

    Well, it's funny how life goes sometimes. I was born and raised in Phoenix and began my love of chasing Coues deer with my old man when I was 5. When I was 13, Pops was promoted and we moved to Vegas. This put a serious hurtin' on our Coues addiction, but we managed to make it down and hunt as often as we could, and we have been blessed enough to be able to hunt Mexico as well. I have since been looking for a way to get back to Coues country. I recently made a career change (structural engineering to structural demolition) which has been a blessing as well, especially considering the current economy, but required me to travel all but 4 days a month. The last 2 years of travel and hard work has paid off and I was offered a big promotion. The problem - the job is in New Jersey, and about 2600 miles from a Coues deer. Not my ideal place to be, but no travel, get to see my wife and son and soon to be daughter (due in May) every day, nice pay increase, and the opportunity to advance my career were just too much to say no to. I drove up last week, and am currently looking for a house to rent so the family can follow. The area is much different (better) than I expected (office is in East Hanover), but it's still a bit of an adjustment. So I'll likely be on here even more than usual talking trash and making comments that I find hilarious, but probably cause some to look for the "ignore" feature. Just glad to have a place like this to feed my addiction and somewhat stay in touch with whats happenin' (thanks Amanda). On the plus side, I do get to kill 7 bucks and unlimited does a year in NJ, and my bow will get much much more attention now (no centerfire season - archery, shotgun, and muzzy only), and PA is only an hour or so away where I can kill another pile of deer. At least my freezer will be full. At any rate, thanks for reading my ramblings, and wish me luck. I'll need it!

    HaYen, that is really interesting. I've never heard of that subspecies before. I will definitely be looking into that. Plenty of that already. I did try a mexican restaurant that was highly rated online - and it was garbage. Good thing I still like good italian. Never had it as good as up here.
  13. That's pretty incredible really. Never knew they had it in them.

    Looking for a new pack

    Outdoorsmans is a great pack, albeit heavy. Kuiu packs are very nice and much lighter weight, but don't exactly have a perfect pocket if your spotter is 80mm. My only real complaint with Kuiu pack.

    .17HMR info requested

    What about a 17 HMR in a 10/22 action??? I have a 17 from volquartsen that uses 10/22 mags. I paid way too much for it, but its absolutely ridiculous to shoot. As far as th caliber goes, I love it.
  18. Just wanted to post a quick video of the buck I killed this year with Colburn and Scott Outfitters in MX this year. My father and I had a great hunt with Jay and Darr. Those guys are serious about hunting Coues and their preparation was impressive. This was definitely not the last time Pops and I will be booking with those guys. At any rate, on the last day I glassed this buck up and called Jay over to take a look at it with me. I knew he wasn't a monster, but after some gentle prodding from Jay I decided to take him. He was the 2nd double beamed buck I had seen in as many days and that combined with his character was more than I could take. Jay stayed to keep and eye on him, and I looped around to get within range as we were at 1100 yards. I admittedly was a little nervous about the shot as Jay had kept saying how he was "looking forward to seeing The Coues Sniper in action" . But I was able to find a perfect setup at 465 yards - prone, no wind, in a saddle between two bluffs, and a flat rock in front of me to pre-load the bipod. The buck was bedded with his head over his vitals so I took my time and was able imput my actual atmoshperics and even dry fire a few times. Jay and I were talking on the radio when the buck got up, that's when the video starts. I waited for him to stop and let the crosshairs settle right on his shoulder and timed my squeeze with the exhale on my breathing cycle. I was shooting my 300 ultra pushing 208 grain A-Max's at 3180 fps. The result was pretty devastating. Impact was exactly where I aimed and it was like you hit him with a sledgehammer. When we got to the buck, his legs were folded underneath him just like he was bedded or you posed him for photographs. Exit hole was about the size of a silver dollar. I was very happy both with the deer, and the performance of the A-max's. Thanks again to Jay, Darr, and Janis. One of my favorite hunts, and bucks, for sure!

    Video of my Double Beam Buck

    Thanks Amanda. No, it wasn't a high shoulder shot. I was above him so I put it mid height on the shoulder to me, and it exited 1/3 up on opposite side. We did the gutless method so I didn't look at the vitals, but the shockwave and bloodshot was pretty amazing. Both shoulders were toast, as was very front of backstrap on side to me. cool.....I shot a buck once in Mexico and it dropped just like that and never moved....it was so awesome, I wish I had gotten it on video. The camera guy was on his way, but didn't get there in time. Mine was high shoulder and the way yours dropped reminded me of that shot. It is nice when they drop like a sack of rocks . The funny thing is, Jay and I had some time so we discussed different land marks and how he would talk me into the buck if I missed and he moved out. When I shot, I though I got back in the scope pretty quickly, but couldn't find the buck and wasn't getting any feedback from Jay. You can barely her me on the radio saying "What happened?" as I was totally confused. That's when Jay gets on with the nice shot part .
  20. Great video. Some gorgeous country, and definitely some awesome sheep!

    hahaha! Afterwards, Jay and I celebrated with some GTL Thanks Larry. Living up here is definitely going to cramp my Longrange style. Have to drive 3+ hours to shoot past 300 yards!!

    Finally got around to doing it. Was hoping there were others nearby - NOPE! I'm the farthest East by a long ways.
