Only put in for elk and antelope...got my16b third hunt no lopes

Thanks guys! It's been a while since I've logged in...hahaha It was really awesome to bring that blue trophy home. I'll never forget that last inning...which is surprising because my catcher tackled that crap out of me and almost knocked me out! haha but it was still the best...Great way to end a high school career. Crazyaboutcoues I think those Indians will continue to crush their opponents for a few years to come..... and it was cool talking to you during the boring T or C or Hatch games hahaha you kept me awake at first base....again thanks! Now my brain is gonna be set on the REALLY important things-GETTING ONE OF THOSE DANG COUES WITH A BOW!!!!! Goodluck to everyone in the draw(unless you put in for 16b third hunt)

I switched from a whisker to a trophy taker shakey hunter. I dig the change....way more consistent

That's awesome dude! I'm just barely starting college.....did you grow up with spanish?

Hatchet is about the best book I have ever read. In all seriousness I love that dang book! YOU READ CASEY?!?!?!?!? Haha just joshin That's one of my favorites also.

I'm thinkin' about arrowing a forky

A deer is a deer, good buck to chow on Congrats dude

I heard we are going to have to draw bow tags next year....surely this is false info?

im guessing 109

It would really suck for me as an out of state hunter, because if I don't draw the december rifle tag I buy an archery tag....I would blow the license fee for nothing if I couldn't draw bow or rifle

words won't do this justice...... awesome awesome awesome deer!

insane!

Nice buck and nice Camo!!!

Totally awesome! That buck is a beauty! Hope the other one is bigger for you next year

hmmmmmmmmm i guess we will never know...............

Hahaha I know some Maldonado's is his son Tito?

Check it out! Not the biggest, but a great deer! Notice the cut on his ear...He got that when he was fighting the big one

Ok here's the story... We spotted a big buck at the bottom of the canyon we were hunting and he was chasing a doe. He followed her over the top and that's when we decided to close the distance between us and them. We got around the ridge and found them again and there was another group of deer just up the canyon from them. The buck suddenly stopped chasing the doe and seemed to make a mad dash for a tank in the bottom. My brother and I sprinted down the mountain to beat him there while my dad stayed on top with his binoculars to watch and give us hand signals. When we made it I set my brother up behind me and had him work the can and a grunt tube. Fifteen minutes passed and the buck never showed. We got up and headed back up the mountain I suddenly had the feeling to look to my left, and sure enough my buck was across the canyon looking right at me and my brother out in the wide open. I looked up at my dad and he told us to sneak around the other side and get on top again. When we made it there we figured out why the buck never made it to water he ran into my buck and they had a major fight. My buck was the loser and had come around the side but turned back around to get his does back. By this time three more mature bucks joined the party. They were all in a little draw with a little oak and juniper. We decided if we could somehow get to the edge unoticed one of those buck would walk by and present a shot. Thirty minutes later.... My brother and I sneek up to the edge and get in some oak brush. I spot two does across the draw and one is looking at us. I peek down in the bottom and a heavy wide three point is milling around at 56 yards. It would be a tough shot, the angle was steep and he was surrounded by does. Just when I was getting ready to draw my brother tapped me on the back and pointed to my left. A forky and my buck were feeding in some oak brush. I ranged him at thirty yards and drew back very slowly. I settled my pin a touch behind his shoulder and squeezed off the trigger. All those hours of practicing paid off as I watched my arrow hit it's mark perfectly. It passed completely through and the buck jumped and ran up hill five yards. He turned back and ran his death sprint downhill right by me and piled up forty yards away in the bottom of the drainage. There was a touch of ground shrinkage on this one but he's still my biggest bow kill. He was the second biggest buck in the group. He has ten points with a groken cheater on his G-2. I couldn't be happier with this deer! It's great when your stalk works exactly how you plan it.

Saturday- 2 90 inch bucks in the same canyon. There were six does above them but they weren't together. No rutting whatsoever

That's one of the prettiest coues bucks I have ever seen! Great Job!

I'm from Silver City

I bought Steiner Merlins in 10x42 cuz it's all a poor kid can afford hahaha they're pretty sweet but I would definitley go with Swaros. Leica just sounds a little fruity to me anyway....

Can't be too picky until you start killing them...try different strategies until you find one that works for you

Maybe he won't want to hunt with you when he finds out the glare from your bald head scares all the deer away teeheehee just joshin ya

Are you talking about who I think you're talking about.......
