Coues Sniper

Sure looks that way. That "tine" isn't there in the 2nd pic. Sweet buck man, hope you get another chance...

It's been talked about on here before. Last I heard Scott and Amanda were going to try and get him to submit a story(?)

Neat buck

Thanks . As we were targeting only mature rams these were all netted from the helicopter. They were then blindfolded, legs hobbled, and put in a "sack" and flown to the operations site. I'm trying to get the net gun job but something about training and the fact that everyone else in town wants to do it too is holding me back

I thought it had to be centerfire.. (?) You could kill one with a 17 for sure, but IMO it falls into the "bad idea" category

Nice! Congrats on a great buck

It's a terrible situation for sure. I may end up down there as I am a member of the NV Task Force 1 FEMA Team as a Structures Specialist. Our team is way down the rotation line this month, but if rescue/recovery procedures continue (which more than likely will due to politics going on) our team will get deployed. I'll share with folks here if I go.

Already a deer named Goliath. A mule deer, but still technically a deer

Happy Birthday Doug

NICE buck . Way to get it done.

Thanks CnS, and tell the wife thanks for me as well Can't wait to give it a shot.

Glad to hear everything went well Casey

I use both, ALWAYS . The 15's are unbeatable for glassing, but not enough for detail at long ranges IMO.

Yep. Palo Blanco. And they do eat the snot out of the flowers.

Doesn't matter what anyone else here would have done. If you didn't feel comforatble, you should'nt have shot. Period

That's rediculous.

If you mail it by a certain date, they will inform you of errors before it is processed. I forgot the date though. I think Doug posted it originally.

Mike, I watched a couple of their shows where they went through how you can make adjustments for altitude and temp differences, but the way they tied it into the turrent was extremely confusing and lacking in much description. There are other factors that they didn't mention also which you have explained above. I'm not much of a fan of wind holdover anyways (for those that don't know, Huskemaw's scopes have moa gradients for wind adjustments on the reticle). I killed a deer a few years ago at 560 which at that time I used holdover dots for wind and vertical drop. But with the wind/distance I had, niether crosshair was touching the deer when I tipped the trigger. Just didn't seem natural to me. I much prefer using the actual crosshairs if at all possible.

John, I think you would be surprised at the number of people who use field calculators for longrange hunting. I have a very simple yet very accurate program on my iPhone that I use to get proper dope for a shot. As 308 stated this really isn't necessary for shots under 500 yards. But when it starts pushin 700 yards or more I believe it becomes very necessary. It literally takes less than a minute, and at those ranges you generally have the time. It becomes a part of the routine. 308, I'm nit-picking here but I thought that tail/head winds had very little affect on bullet flight unless they had a vertical component? No disrespect intended to either of you; I'm certain you could both shoot circles around me . Thank you both for the interesting discussion.

You found my trailcam! It's my new, hopefully, thief proof design...

In my (limited) pig calling experience, it seems that if you're close to the pigs - say 100 yards or so - it works well. If they're a ways off, they turn tail and run.

Happy Birthday Jim

That is unbelievable.

SWEET buck. Especially with a bow, congrats.
