Those are three awesome bucks. Congrats and great pictures and video.

I used to bank with B of A until we decided to pay all our credit cards off and they instantly dropped our credit limits to $1000. And we have excellent credit. I had banked with them for over 20 years before that.

Need gunsmith for break and work. East valley or PX area
AZbowhntr replied to nighthawk's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
I have had Accuracy Speaks do two muzzle breaks for me so far. Both stainless steel and both times they have turned out incredible. They are out at Rio Salado shooting range. -
Wow, talk about hanging in there. That is a great buck. Congratulations
-
Love the sunset picture. That is a great idea. There are some great bucks there.

December 2012 AZ Coues Hunt.
AZbowhntr replied to cramerhunts's topic in Coues Deer Hunting in Arizona
Phil, great writeup and pictures. Just think, less than two weeks and we will be at it again. And not a bad mistake buck. Congrats -
The biggest buck I saw last year in Mexico was broken. I had the safety off and was ready to shoot him at less than 150 yds when he turned his head and showed me his broken main beam. With that said, that was the only broken buck that I can remember seeing besides a buck I shot that did a back flip and landed in a rock pile. We were hunting several hours east of Hermisillo.

That bull is smart. That will almost guarantee him another year to live. I saw one just like him a couple years ago.

4 days + 228 deer = 0 bucks!
AZbowhntr replied to Joe Kauffman's topic in Coues Deer Hunting in Arizona
There were seven of us in 36B for the early Dec hunt a couple weeks ago and it was the same way. Between all of us I am sure that we saw well over 200 does and fawns. But we did see 4 bucks total with a couple of them nice. The bucks were there, they were just harder to find. -
Winchester 88 .308 Pre-64 Lever Action with Scope
AZbowhntr replied to gmcbob's topic in Classified Ads
Well it looks like almost everyone has this rifle. I also have one that my dad passed down to me. Great shooting rifles. Killed a couple bucks with it when I was younger. Hope someone picks it up. -
We spent hours cleaning our capes last year and got to the border and they didn't even look at them. They had so many ticks on them when we shot them that I don't think we could have ever got them all. We were just hoping that it went smooth and we got lucky. You just never know what you are going to get at the border.
-
Allen, congrats on another successful hunt. And to Travis also. You both got great bucks. Who knows, maybe you can get the fourpete and draw the tag next year again.

Well I have been waiting for Ernesto to post some pics of his buck so that he could show off his buck before I posted. I was lucky enough to get to go down with Ernesto and one of his friends from there in Yuma on an incredible hunt of a lifetime. I don't think I have ever experienced anything quite like it before. I have hunted several states for deer and elk but nothing that compared to this. All the way from the food to seeing 40 to 50 deer a day with more than half being bucks. Unfortunately we missed the peak of the rut but did get to see some nice bucks chasing does around and acting stupid. I was lucky enough to shoot a great buck on the trip, which ended up being the baby of the bunch but still scored 108+. Unfortunately I did not have my camera with me when I shot my buck. But I was able to get some pictures later on. Hope you enjoy. Here is a little of what the country looked like. Best Coues country I think I have ever hunted or seen. We saw turkey, coati mundi's, coyotes and even a diamond back rattle snake. Here are a few turkeys. Here is a picture of the area we hung out for a little bit every night. We left in the dark and showed back up in the dark most days. Here is a picture of an absolute hog. I had him in the scope at 140 yds before he turned his head and showed off his left side that was broken just past the G2. I wish he showed up better but the branches in the background make it hard to tell his true size. Here is a picture of my buck in my left hand. The other buck was a warm up. This was my guide Israel. Boy could he hike, and hike, and hike. Never saw him breath hard. Here are a couple pictures of all of us with our bucks and Temo. Everyone in camp was awesome and had a good time together. And last but not least, here is one of Randy's buck.

Yeah, my dad was a horse farrier when he was younger and has a scar on his stomach from getting kicked. I can't even imagine what this thing could have done. That is a great outcome though. That moose was just about beat.

Ernesto here on the site is the man when it comes to hunting Mexico. He has some great connections. Send him a PM. I know he is going down this weekend to hunt so he may take a bit to get back to you.
-
I have seen a few nice bucks in there the last couple years. Never had a tag though. Usually quail hunting. Did call in a buck that was at least 28" wide while coyote calling last year.
-
Looks like a fun time. Amanda, I wish I knew you were there. I was down scouting and drove right by there and almost stopped. I would have for sure if I had known. It sounds like a lot of the kids did pretty well.

Friends, Family and Good Times
AZbowhntr replied to azcouesandelk's topic in Rifle hunting for Coues Deer
Christian, looks like a great time. There are some great bucks there. Give me a call when you get a chance. -
Ok I will ask the question. Why were you outside your blind at 9am? Just curious.
-
The cows that didn't get bred on the first go around have cycled. I shot my archery bull last year in Nov and he was bugling, chasing about 8 cows and was distracted raking a tree when I put my first arrow through him at 15 yds broadside. Enjoy the action and take advantage of it.

New Rifle: Tikka T3, Weatherby Vanguard S2, or Savage 11
AZbowhntr replied to kazpilot25's topic in Rifle hunting for Coues Deer
I am going to have to agree with just about everyone else. I recently bought a T3 in 270 WSM and absolutely love it. It is smooth as can be. I had a muzzle brake installed as soon as I bought it. I could shoot it all day long. In fact my daughter is going to shoot it on her hunt coming up in December. -
Apparently what you need is the hawk that Sam from a couple posts down has in his back yard. That will take care of them.
-
Cool pictures. I got to watch a hawk kill a pigeon once while I was doing a home inspection. I stopped and got my binoculars out of the truck to watch for about 10 min. It was pretty cool. It was like the hawk was kneading dough with his talons.
