Pine Donkey

Oh man, I hate waiting for a good story. Congratulations to the hunter.

I freeze them until I am making ground meat jerky. I have had dove a few ways that were not to bad, but I have never had really good dove. They do stretch the jerky nicely.

WOW! That buck is a stud! Those eye gauds are beyond belief. Not sure I could stop shaking enough to pull my bow if I ever saw a buck like that. The face sure is colored like a Muley, but the antlers and the tail are all coues. Unbelievable kill! Thanks for sharing.

Wow! That will get your blood pumping! I love this time of year.

Thanks for the story, congratulations on the buck.

Thanks for posting the pics. Hope to see you behind a nice elk soon.

My guess is that mom is dead. That seems like a pretty small cub to be on its own. I will watch this thread with great interest, as I am always wanting to learn a bit more about bears. Thanks for posting the question.

Nice goat. Way to stick with the recovery.

Looks like you have a bit of everything at that site. Thanks for posting the pictures.

Thats a great buck. Congtatulations!

Thanks for the story and pictures. Congrats on the archery coues.

Lark, I just broke my remote control trying to change channels with plyers. Whats up with that?

Amen

Thats a great collection of trophies! Thanks for sharing with us.

Thats what happens if you back up without looking...never know what you might hit.

Not too many goats in 34B, but there are a few nice bucks...one less now, Congratulations.

Very nice goat. He looks to be a scrapper. Increadible shot! Congratulations!

very nice!

Great job. Not too many people in this worl can claim their first deer was an archery coues. Of those few, very very few can make that claim at age 11. Thanks for sharing the hunt with us.

Great hunt and story. Congratulations!

Doug, You've done it again...thanks

Been there, done that!!! I said I quit once too. If it is a part of you, you wont be able to to it. The more you distance yourself, the more your mind will pull you back. Not long and trying to stay away will become more of a problem then the failure you have experience. Some times nothing works out, but that occasianal time when it does will keep the fire burning inside of you. Regroup, spend time with friends and family, and be cognisent that you will be back out there.

Great buck, congratulations. I can't wait to read the story.

I tried again to attack pictures and was not able. I tried a 1.02MB pic. In the past I have had no problem posting, but something has changed. Not sure if it is with CWT or my computer. I am having the same issue as bonecollector described. Once choose a pic to attach, a white bar appears across the selection and I can go no further.

Last year while scouting for my own antelope hunt, I met Jeff on the side of a mountain. It only took a couple minutes to see he is a top quality person, and one who I was glad to meet. We talked about hunting, poeple, and our kids. I picked his brain on areas that hold goats, we discussed some of the bigger animals we had both seen, and he helped me find a way into some areas I wanted to access but did not know how. This was a week before the opener. We exchanged phone numbers, and parted with a hand shake. During that week he went out scouting a couple times and called me to let me know what he had seen. I certainly agree when Jeff says he is and ehtical person. He is also a heck of a nice guy, and someone good to know in the White Mountain area. By the way, our conversation started with him asking about my "coueswhitetail.com" sticker. Congratulations on a great hunt Jeff.
