Bird Dog

Went out with Coues&Coyotes on New Years Eve and was able to take this fawn eater. He was an older dog and was missing a canine tooth with some scaring on his face. Nice worn teeth pattern. Thanks for sharing the "Rabbit blues" with me C&C! Found a beautiful arrow head as well.

Nice job man! I love the stock on that rifle.

Had a great day with my Dad on New Years. Nice way to start the year with some greeen chili and italian sausage.

Nice! Gotta love the "blues".

Coues&Coyotes and I went out for a bit of rabbit blues yesterday and were able to get 2 for 2 with the old single shots! both yotes were males and Marvin took his barking at us. 310 healthy paces. Nice shooting man. I am learnig a new camera and lost a couple pics and have one as a movie...ahhh! Oh well, here is one of the two.

Got this dog last weekend with Coues&Coyotes and the .22-250 single! We shot the double and save may antelope this coming May.

Nice Geoff! How about some more pics man?

Nice Josh, glad to see your getting sympathetic on us with the scenery stuff. We all know your a "killen" machine on coues. So much for never killen another one becasue their so pretty! Congrats and thanks for sharing.

Nice! Good jog!

Honesty is a hard moral to legislate. I know what I would do mortally wounding an animal but there are many people whom continue hunting after many wounded animals - to each his own. I do think may people don't "honestly" return the harvest survey cards that our G&F uses to help determine tag allocations.

Holy Grongulous! LLLLLLAAAAAA! He is alive! I am confused the chest on that deer appears to be intact, no? The hair on the hip is looking a bit conspicous. Did this one get stuck on the hose? Tell us josh. What tha.... I don't think I have ever heard of deer taken by noxious fumes! That is amazing. I sear I see some trash and I am not talk dump station!

I am here to begin the assembly of as Josh says "morons" to begin calling him! What do you say? Is he back yet?

Do you suppose he drove the pumper truck?

Don't leave the orange Josh. Good luck and I am sure you will have an awsome trip!

I wanted to thank CouesnCoyotes for his help this weekend scounting. I may have to change my personal statement after this past weekend. I usually don't turn down a horn or nice bear in a canyon. That may have to change after 2 days of packing and near death. Thanks to Mr. DoneyPark for the company on this shoot and antler quest!

Hey Grong, I tried to wrestle the horn from him but I had to use a rifle to complete the job. Grongufladge has been working for me finding horns this year bear hunting. I am pushing over the 20 mark since turkey season.

Well, the hide was 125 lbs alone (weighed at Casey's processing) and the 1.5 mile hike out of the canyon nearly killed me. I have packed out may elk, deer and a 9yr. old sow last year but this bear kicked my butt and kept on punching. We had an additional 90 lbs of boned meat and was able to leave most of the bones. The fat on this old boy was running 3-5" over the entire body. I used a .338 win mag with a 200 gr. nosler balistic tip moving about 3025 fps. All I can say is tough animals.

Nice! Way to go Man!

Nice Stanly! I remember hunting by the old elementry back in the day when you had that rugger muli loader. I think this one will treat you rather nicely. My how the time flies. Whoa!

Good job with the old single man!

Couple of finds while hunting Friday afterwork with Coues&Coyotes. Bonus find was this Bear Scull about 50 yards away. I sure wish I was the shooter. This skull is right at 20". As we were glassing we notice this art work. You never know about those inspirational types right Rembrant? Thanks for going with me Marvin.

Same here, I just could not make the trip from Flagstaff. I did send Ben a direct email and asked if I could help but I have not heard back.

I think for many we have missed why we are hunting. The lack of limitations makes hunting a "non" sport. Even if a rifle shoots to <0.5" doesn't make the 6-800yrd shot reasonably possible for most people. I personally like my rifle to shot at tight as possible. The days when an elk at 30-35 was with in a desired range for a clean shot are gone, both of my bulls were under 20yrds and what a rush to be that close. Just like making an incredable stock on a bedded coues buck to get with in 250 yrds that you spotted at a mile away. That is exactly what make the hunt for me exciting. The idea that I made the stock to be with in a limitation of gun, human, and conditions.

Yes, two years ago, I was involved with Matt W. and Ben B. at Mammoth picking up garbage as an event to ease tension in the area for hunters. Specifically the Mercers. There were people that showed up but not too many. I think many of the ranchers just don't like people being around period. Not all of them though. Like I said earlier, man have forgotten the land is shared around what they own. So, why can we as sportsmen get some legislative support to start roads/access around the private property and then later have the heavy equiptment come in to finalize the access.

Thanks for sharing. What a cool story with pics.
