fan clutch and compressor for AC, i think they told me an outrageously high price!270wsm is off of market.

so, i really really want to go antelope hunting and my dad said he would take me for my graduation from colllege next year. i am looking at going on a combo mule deer/antelop hunt in wyoming. is this possible? i would like to take a antelop buck and doe as well as a mule deer buck. any suggestions on guides to get in contact with? has any body done this? what kind of shots did you have? thanks!

i got a new job recently as well, i work for Western Technologies here in flag. i am a field/lab tech. I was working for home depot as well, but decided to quit that as i was working 60+ hours a week for western tech and only 8 hours a week at the depot, didnt make since to me! the switch has been good, all though the past 3 weeks we have been DEAD!!! i have been scratchin to get 40 hours!

FINALLY got some good good showers here in flag today! it was nice!

this is my new coyote medicine

you better take a ton of pictures to tease us broke average jos who cant afford to go ( like me!!!)

108 and thats it? your bragging about a 108 buck? that dont even make B&C.... LOL totally joking, what a toad! i havent even seen a buck that big! congrats!

Lark, you went to college?

Jake, i live in flagstaff, if you are in town soon, let me know and you can check out my 25-06

Amanda, i am still waiting for my sticker.

36b dec, nov WT and 3rd is 36b carp elk unit 1 rifle bull, unit 9 rifle cow sheep, first year dont know what unit but i aint gonna draw so it doesnt matter! antelope 1 and 9 dad put in for 36b javelina same time as nov. deer, i couldnt i killed mine in febuary.

PM sent

Ditto to what Ron said. when i apply for elk, i usually do a early rifle bull hunt first chouce, and then rifle cow all the rest. i just like to be out there hunting elk and a rack doesnt make that much of a difference to me. i have only been applying for antelope for three years, and this is my first year applying for sheep, hopefully i will draw one of those tags when i can still walk and shoot straight! well, atleast semi-straight!

i think i have like 5 videos.... nice fox mount though!

yet another native here. to me it is the Coues hunting!!! honestly! i love hunting them! not only that, but the hunting in general! yeah like doug said, there is better hunting else where but i love it here! its home and its where all of my family minus one family of cousins aunt and uncle reside.

i want what ever pack Scott has on in the 3rd picture!

NOW THATS WHAT I CALL A TROPHY! THE CAT AND THE STORY!!!! AWESOME!

down in tucson, my old white ford with a blue camper shell has (or had, dont know if dad took it off) a round white one with the buck in the background. its REALLY crooked so he might have taken it off... Amanda, i want one JUST like Jims blue one.. ya know, blue, on a white toy hauler with me holding a 110" in front of it!

Sheep, i saw that buck i believe in western optics hunter wasnt it? didnt your compa score on a big one also? wow this is such a tough one for me! my first deer (84" gross) is right there and i honestly dont know if that can ever be replaced but i might never harvest another mountain lion in my life. i think that if i had to chooes one of them two, it would be my mountain lion. not only because of the fact it was the first one i ever saw, but because of the story behind it. the fact that i used my grandpas rifle, and that i know that he was helping me and watching me from up above. i will never forget a few things about that hunt; how close i was to that cat before i shot seeing the cat having no idea i was there, looking down the canyon, my grandpa being "there" with me, how excited i was when i made the shot... and Ernesto, the fact that it was my first one shot kill on a big game animal however, my first coues is extremly hard to replace. i had hunted deer for 6 years with outh ever firing a shot. the fact that it was a last day buck, it was the biggest whitetail i had seen at the time ( i have only seen two bigger even now) and it looks awesome on the wall of my house when i go back, and read the story, it gives me the chills! http://www.coueswhitetail.com/hunt_stories..._first_buck.htm the picutre is very poor, but i somewhere posted pictures of my mount, i will try and find them. by the way, awesome topic!

here is my coues set up(s) Top: remington model 700 7mm mag Zeiss conquest 3-9x50. this gun is a new edition but showed promise when testing hand loads. i have i think 7 or 8 groups of 120 TSX loaded up to test. the gun now wears a different stock, i have a classic BDL stock on it with the ebony for end tip. bottom. custom 270wsm leupold 4.5-14x40 LR varmint reticle. built on mauser 98 action, richards mocrofit thumbwhole stock. shoots 140 accubonds at 3250 in little wholes!

neither can the guy whos benellie montafeltro i was selling, but that didnt stop him

ill give you $200

the 140 accubond from my dads RUM hit the left rear leg bone, smashed it and continued on through with controlled expansion. now, on the other hand, when he shot the buck again at 20 yards, it blew the heck out of the lungs and spine.

Lance, have you let the air out of anything with your 7RUM? if so, how did the remington factory rounds perform? my dads 7RUM with hand loaded 140 accubonds went through a whole coues deer! about 150 yard shot, came in the left butt cheek, traveled all through the body and exited right infront of the shoulder, 50 cent piece sized whole.

DBarcher, triggers on remingtons are super easy, i was shown one time how to do it by RedRabbit, and i have done about 3-4 more since then. what bullet is everyone shooting? right now, i am shooting 140 accubonds from my 270 wsm and 270 winnie. my dads 7RUM also likes 140 accubonds. i am working up a load for my 7mag with 120 TSX. for the 270 AI, i will work up a 130 TSX load, or maybe go with interbonds, they shot well out of my 270wsm
