Found dog
firstcoueswas80 replied to azpackhorse's topic in Miscellaneous Items related to Coues Deer
a dog followed my little brother home from school in about march or so and she has been there ever since. she is a really really good dog, she is the most relaxed dog i have ever seen. only thing bad about this dog is she ate my deer skull from my 2005 buck!!!! phuta! but she is a good dog and gets along with my 10 year old brother, all his friends and our 6 year old and 4 year old neighbor kids that are there all the time. the jealousy thing, my parents chocolate lab "snickers" and my mut "ojos" have that big time but my dog just whines and moans when my dad is petting snickers and not him, hes a funny dog! -

my dads first rifle has a story behind it as well. you all have read about me talking about my OLD remington model 721 .270. Doug has seen this thing shoot and it shoots awesome with factory ammo! well this is the story: back in the day ( like 40's 50's and/or 60's) my grandpa owned a grocery store in Michigan. he would get people coming in asking fora bottle of whiskey and not having money for it, so my grandpa would take in rifles, pistols, shotguns what ever in on trade until they had enough money to come back and pay for the whiskey. well the guy who gave my grandpa this .270 never came back. my grandpa hunted all over the country with this gun, taking black bear, moose, grizzly, caribou, black tail deer, white tail, mule deer etc. you named it he had taken it with that gun. well the gun got passed down to my dad and he took his first several deer and first elk with it. the gun has been in the family and all though it is old and beat up, that is the best thing about the gun. there is a scratch on the left side of the gun that is about 6 inches long 1/"4 or so deep. that is the best part about the gun, and the story behind that is even better. he was up in canada i belive hunting bear. one night a bear actually came into camp and scared the horses. the horses got off of their tie line and one of then got into the pots and pans. this horse sent a pot at my grandpas leg and if he hadnt had the .270 there to take the pain, he probably would have lost his leg! this is the rifle i took my lion with. this rifle means so much to our family, it will never leave

i take a 7mm mag over the 280 because it is a bit faster and flatter and ammo for the 7mag is actually pretty available. saying that, i have been thinking about selling my 7mag in order to get a bigger bore 30 cal. i have a 30-06 but have been wanting a 300wsm for my elk gun. i like my 7mag and my 30-06 so i am probably going to keep the 7mag. who knows, if the 61.5 grains of H4350 with the 120 tsx shoot like the have been, it will be my back up gun for my deer hunt.

nice job brian! but like Desertbull said, there has to be a reason someone dumped him. how is he around food? who names a male labe Angel anways? Scout fits a lot better! -
i didnt get to see the fights cause i was at Roosevelt but i love the UFC! when i got home, i would have guessed Matt Hughes would have knocked him out in the first round i was amazed to see he TKO's himin the 3rd! Matt hughes is a stud and along with Liddell are my favorite fighters. The guy that knocked Jens out is my room mates brothers friend who actually trains with them. i have been in the ring with him and Drew Fickett and rolled with them a little bit.

firstcoueswas80 replied to Azlongears's topic in Photography of Coues Deer and Other Wildlife
i dont know why you guys are saying the wide one, i thinkhe will score the lowest out of all of them. remember he only gets as much credit for width as the lenght of his shortest main beam. i think the one back is prolly the best scoring deer, look how tall he is -

id say what bret says, bout 330... is it me or does he look really skinny? -
AZ guide, i am wondering the same thing. there is not a stich of meat left on the bones, yet the eyes are still instact. they eyes are usually the first thing crows go for. sure is a nice buck, both of em!

my 270 which is about 60 years old groups federal premium 140 accubonds in about 1/2 groups. i would strongly suggest those, also i believe federal loads a 130 TSX. look at both of them, i dont think you can beat the bullets and if accuracy is there, ur set!

if you liberally i mean liberally apply Sweets 7.62 or barnes C10 it should clean the barrel enough so that the original POI with non-moly bullets is restored after a few foulers

Calling AZGFD would do no good.... he killed the antelope in NM... like he said -
well said Ernesto... and the not using a 30-06 because it ruins meat? to me thats not a good excuse. i would rather ruin meat and KILL the deer than take a chance at maybe killing it/maybe not and not loosing any meat IF i kill it. there are too many variables out there to use such a small caliber. by using a larger caliber, you elimaniate one of the variables... nuff said
