.17 HMR VS. 22MAG
firstcoueswas80 replied to rigutierrez's topic in Miscellaneous Items related to Coues Deer
the rifle i had was the exact model you are looking at i belieb. wood stock and heavy barrel. it shot OK but thats it. i shot cci and federal out of it and it did like the federal better but not up to my standards, that is why i dont have it anymore. but my 22-250 i couldne be more happy with! -
.17 HMR VS. 22MAG

i had a savage 17hmr and it did not shoot well. as far as my 22-250, i shot 2 jakcs with it, one took the head clean off and the other field dressed it for me, i love my 22-250!` -

22-250, reach out there and touch and if all else fails, it can be used on coues. i have a sendero and loaded with the right bullets, i would not hesitate on carrying it for coues ( well maybe i would, it weighs like 9 or 10 pounds if not more!) -
my dad, grandpa and i ran in to this guy elk hunting in unit 1 about 7 or8 years ago. man we felt for poor guy. he looked like he had hiked about 15 miles that day he was exhausted. he told us how he had wounded a spike the night before and had been looking for it all day ( it was around 12 or 1) and we could honestyly tell he had tried his best to find it. we gave him some warm burros and some water and dropped him off at his truck. on another note, Scottyboy and i got lost and came out on a road just intime to catch a suburban. this "hunter" zoomed bye us with out everng acknowliding our waves!

My scouting buddy
firstcoueswas80 replied to bowsniper's topic in Miscellaneous Items related to Coues Deer
it is really sad to hear that. it is hard to say good bye to a pet no matter what. especially a dog. dogs become part of the family and are looked upon like a human in regards to as much love as they are given. i am really sorry to hear that. -
long long distance shooting
firstcoueswas80 replied to muledeerarea33?'s topic in Rifle hunting for Coues Deer
Mike, the above mentioned rifle is also a custom built rifle chambered in 270wsm. it pushes 140 accubonds at about 3200. my smallest 3 shot whole form 100 is .336" it is an accurate rifle and i have a good leupold scope on it. -

wade, i agree with you, get me within 300 and its lights out. but the thing is, i also want something to take home for my efforts. if i have a buck i want to shoot at 300 yards, or any distance i know i can make with a good rest no wind and him standing not moving,what is the point of trying to sneak up for a closer shot? i am not going to let a good chance slip through my hands just because i want to get close, that is what archery and muzzleloader hunting is for. i carry a high power rifle, with a high dollar scope and hour upon hours of hand tuning loads and shooting them at the range so i can make those long shots if need be. -
long long distance shooting
firstcoueswas80 replied to muledeerarea33?'s topic in Rifle hunting for Coues Deer
Mike, i really wish i could shoot far like 500 yards but have now where to do it at. or atleast where i know i can go. if i can hit a 6" circle at 400 yards i am happy with that. now that i think about it, i shot my 30-06 at 300 yards with a laying down rest. the group i produced was about 2.5 inches. not bad for a 30-06 with a 16 y/o shootin (this was a few years ago) also took out a jack rabbit that day from about 315 yards. -

firstcoueswas80 replied to muledeerarea33?'s topic in Rifle hunting for Coues Deer
the longest i have ever target shot at was what do you think doug 325-350? as far as on game, my first shots were 341, then had to be over 400 after that, i hit him 5/7 times, and 3 shots were on the run and i missed one of them. i know i hit him 2/3 times because he rolled once, and fell over dead the 2nd. i have been shooting alot this year, and have worked up some good hand loads so i would not hesitate at 500 or so ( + -) with a solid set up and a stationary target. -
i dont think you all will be able to beat the cow i am going to shoot in 7e. man i can see her now, about 15" from ear to ear, huge head. shes gonna score awesome! but really the cow i shot in unit 1 a few years back was a monster, i got 2x more meat from her than i did my spike bull the year b4.
-
david, i really think you will be pleasently surprised, he has awesome tine lentgh and pretty decent main beams.
-
that bull is well past the 360 marker, i think with all that lenght he will go closer to 380.
-
Need input on what you'd score this
firstcoueswas80 replied to coues7's topic in Photography of Coues Deer and Other Wildlife
i think he will go a little lower than ya'll are sayin, he will loose a lot of mass when he rubs and is not wide. however, he has awesome lenght, i say high 80's-low 90's -

firstcoueswas80 replied to firstcoueswas80's topic in Small Game, Upland Bird, and Waterfowl Hunting
something kinda ironick(sp) about the hunt is we hiked our arses off and the bird that we do kill was not 50 yards off the road. the one that scott shot that flopped and then flew off was CROSSING THE ROAD IN FRONT OF MY TRUCK!!! now, if that dont wanna make someone road hunt, there were 2 guys riding around on quads the whole time who i believe killed more birds then we did! -
