Bueno. Good luck to ya!

Probably because you guys are as good at lighting camp fires as you are at hunitng? Thus the reason for the posse, and going after an already injured elk??? Just kidding. I couldn't resist. I really haven't formed any real conclusions on this yet. Just waiting to hear both sides.

"The law, for example, allows you to drive while having [had] a little to drink, while I do not drink at all, if I did, I would not drive at all..." I believe you knew what I meant. Correction made just for you!

It has always been my belief that laws provide the minimum standard of what society expects of itself. From there it is up to each person to set their own bar as high as he or she would like. Personally, I tend to hold myself to higher standards than the law. The law, for example, allows you to drive while having a little to drink, while I do not drink at all, if I did, I would not drive at all if I had anything to drink. I guess I may be ignorant, because up until recently I had hoped all hunters were good people, and that as hunters, we had common ground to build on. Just a few thoughts from an old Show Low High School edumacated guy.

Hahaha! I shot a bull about 8 years ago in Montana. Good hit at 35 yards. Spent the next 2 days riding all over the Bull Mountains looking for it on horseback. Even with my guide insisting that I shoot another bull, I couldn't bring myself to do it. I had already shot my bull and was sick about it.

Dang it! After reading this thread, I may have to give my 270 WSM to my son. I put a muzzle break on it so he should be able to handle that just fine. I think I was just converted to the 7mm WSM. Crap... the good news is that it's not gonna be for a few years.
-
Really cool write up. Thanks for sharing. I love hearing about good guys like that. Glad you were fortunate enough to run into them and not others we've been reading about lately. Congrats on an awesome bull!
-
Out of that list, go with the 7mm WSM. But if I could add one more to that list it would be the 270 WSM. Seriously an impressive caliber in that it'll shoot a long ways, fairly easy to find ammo, and maintains its knock down power at long distances. It is really close if not identical in its ballistics to the 7mm WSM, it just doesn't kick ya as hard.

So cool!!! Way to go!

Favorite Coues Deer Rifle.
luvdemcoues replied to DBArcher's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
270 WSM Tikka T3 Lite topped with a Nikon Buckmaster 4.5x14 BDC shooting 140 Bergers with RL 22. The gun dropped three coues last year. One at 235 yards, one at 650 yards, the other at 750 yards. Best caliber in the west. Just put a break on it and trying a new 6x18 Nikon Buckmaster with turrets. We'll see. -
That is an awesome picture. Thanks for sharing.

They must be running on Show Low standard time!

Holy Crap TJ!!! Are trying to convince all of us to stop hunting?? I love your persistence!

After a lot of research and trying on different packs, I finally decided on the Eberlestock Tred Barta pack. I hadn't seen that anywhere online, but happened to stop by Archery Headquarters and they had one there. It fits like a champ and I used it on an Antelope hunt last weekend. Carried all of my stuff plus my buddy's and even wore it while riding a horse all day Saturday. Shoulders were great. I am very impressed with the quality of the pack. Plus it carries my large tripod, spotting scope, rifle/bow and anything else I need. LOVE IT!

Lori Shoots a Muley With Her Bow (video)
luvdemcoues replied to sneekfreak's topic in Mule Deer Hunting
That was really cool footage. Thanks for sharing and congrats to Lori. -
Where did you say that was?
-
Very cool buck! Congrats.
-
Well done!
-
Sorry to hear that you have heard that Eberlestock has bad service, We have been selling Eberlestock for years and found them to be #1. What exactly are you wanting the pack for? Day trips packing in, archery, rifle? Well that's good to hear from you. I really like the Eberlstock packs but was worried about their customer service (at least some of the stories I've heard). Yes, it would be just a day trip, carrying either a bow or rifle plus my tripod.

Robert Kay's amazing NT Muley! 283 5/8
luvdemcoues replied to CouesWhitetail's topic in Mule Deer Hunting
That's just flat out gettin it done!!! -
Ok... so I'm totally sold on Badlands customer service and warranty. However, I dislike how often their zippers break. Then you have Eberlstock that has a similar warranty but supposedly crappy customer service. I am looking for a backpack that will hold enough stuff for a one day deal, plus have space for pack out and I really want to have a spot for my tripod. I am looking at the Eberlsock Halftrack. Any other suggestions.

That is so cool. Congrats to the hunter. Man Mossback is tearing it up this year. 2 bulls over 408 within weeks of each other. Amazing work guys!

Trade you for some Swaro's 10x42 SLCs! Wishful thinking...
-
Stan, you seriously need to post that video, it is awesome! I laughed very hard. Congrats again.

Or maybe 3b? It's closer!
