Congrats on the great bulls. I enjoyed the story(s). Hopefully the next tags don't take so long. It looks like you had quit the setup for camp.

Congrats to your daughter. My daughter has her first hunt this year. I hope she does as well as yours.

This is one contest I want nothing to do with. I have been there before and it isn't fun. I really like the duct tape idea.

I have been there done that. Except my rifle was in the truck about 25 yds away. If you want a funny read look up my story from a few years ago. Congrats on the buck by the way.

Great buck and eye guards. That sounds like a heck of a shot.

The deer stopper works very well on mule deer. I have called several does in to within 10'. I have never tried it on coues deer though. I think it could work really well on the late hunts.

Great buck. I am sitting in the airport in Idaho Falls right now waiting for a flight back to AZ. I was trying to work in a couple days hunting but it didn't work out. Idaho is one of the last states that you can buy a tag and hunt most of the state and shoot a great buck. Congrats

I have the same spotting scope and it is well worth the asking price. I mainly use mine at the gun range but is has definitely paid for its self. And it doesn't take up much room. Good luck selling it.

There were a couple of you that have had the same problem so I thought I would post and let you know what ended up correcting the problem. I called RCBS and they send me a new seating lug and they polished it before sending it at no charge. It worked with no problems. So it sounds like a good cleaning and polishing would work. Otherwise I couldn't tell any difference from the original one and the new one. Hope this helps.

It is all about what you are willing to go home with (or without) to me. Here is a picture of the bull I shot last year on the late archery hunt. We hunted for 7 days before I shot him. He wasn't the biggest that we saw but he was the biggest that we could get to. I personally don't have a problem going home empty handed on most of the hunts here in AZ. Now if I am in another state or somewhere else than there might be a little more pressure to bring something home.

Phil, I have been looking forward to the story on this bull. And pictures on the phone just don't cut it. Incredible bull! It was well deserved. Now it's time to start thinking about Mexico coues deer in January. Congrats

That makes sense. I went to Sportsmans yesterday to buy a new stem and they don't carry anything like that at all. I tried calling RCBS today and missed them by 5 minutes. They close at 3:30 and I called at 3:35. Thanks for the replies.

You the man Ernesto! Are these pictures Temo took? These pictures get the blood pumping.

Wow, that is impressive. Congrats to your dad.

I have the same setup as luvdemcoues does. I just picked it up recently and haven't shot it yet. I am shooting the same bullet to. As long as the rifle likes them.

Great story and pictures. That looks like an incredible time. Not sure about the solo thing but everything else looked awesome. Congrats

Rifleman, keep us updated on what happens with the whole court thing. Maybe we can all pitch in and raise some funds if it drags out and gets more expensive.

Does Flatline Maps have maps for unit 36A. I have both of them for the unit I hunt and they are incredible. They are also a sponsor on this site if I am not mistaken.

I was up in Young this last weekend and stopped by to show a couple friends Dale's shop and some of his work. Pictures do not do this buck justice. It is absalutely beautiful.

Ernesto, I though the same thing, funny. Most of them are very old which makes them look really bad.

Great buck Stan. Congrats

What are your goals for the hunt? Are you trying to shoot something big or are you just looking to get your first muley? There are several areas where you can hunt and will see plenty of deer and you should be able to shoot something. If I were you, I would really look into the youth camp they have. There will be guys that know the unit really well helping out.

Congrats Dillon on your first buck. I know grown men that can't keep it together when they get ready to shoot a buck.

Oh I remember the days. My dad owned a pig farm growing up. It was always nice having the pic of the litters. We won grand champion quality several times. My brother has taken over the operation and now his daughter wins champion almost every year. Good times for sure. Good luck with the showing and sale.

It reminded me of when I get after my dog and he tucks his head and walks off. That was too funny.
