TRRESTANDMAN congrats on your 1000th post also.

It was a good effort though.

The link isn't working for me. I dont think either were killed in December because I saw both of them in January.

I know what you mean treestandman. The biggest difference that stands out to me is that the second buck had about a 14 to 15 inch spread and the third buck had about a 11 or 12 inch spread. I was able to see the top buck 2 different times about 2 weeks apart and he was within 100 yards of the first place I had seen him. The third buck I was able to watch through my spotting scope at 300 yards. It is hard to tell from the pictures but the third buck has darker antlers and a reddish patch on the top of his head inbetween his antlers that the buck in the second picture didnt have. This was a test to see if anybody could tell the difference and these bucks are indeed 2 different bucks Thanks for playing

Gamehauler I try to sleep every now and then but when I dont have class on Fridays and am not out of town it is hard to lay down and sleep. So I stay up and read even more about coues Elkhunter I didnt even realize the larger gaps between the g2 and g3 good catch and the mainbeams do seem longer on the second buck. Also if you look you can see that the second buck has a longer face than the third. The main difference that seperates these bucks to me is that the second bucks right eyeguard is a little further up the mainbeam and grows inward slightly as the third bucks grows almost straight up and almost right from the base.

They are heavy and bulky but you cant beat them for stability. I was crazy enough to carry 2 of them on my scouting trips and then got smart and decided to pack just one.

Those are some beautiful bucks you have there.

I said it once and I will say it again. Congrats on another pig Erik. You now have killed more pigs than me and I got a few years on ya.

That is a brute. Love the tall eyeguards and the mass. also 4 and half hours crawling through a cactus flat makes that a well earned trophy.

That is pretty darn funny Josh. How does J-O-S-H get turned into GRONG.

That looks just like a buck I was chasing around in 36a. Great buck and congratulations.

Just want to get some input on this. I am looking for getting an upgrade from my 3 pin site. I have several questions. Is a 7 pin going overboard or should I stick with getting a 5 pin? I am looking at Spot-Hogg sites. How are these? What kind of site do you shoot? I am also thinking of getting my bow uped to either 65 or 70 pounds. So I am hoping I will be close to shooting the IBO for my bow which is 308 fps.

bobbyo I really like the looks of the sight and the thought of using a slide to adjust distance in the field. I searched those models and found this website http://www.fusearchery.com/sights/index.tpl I really like the Intrepid model and will be going to Bear Mountain Archery to look them over.

I would have tried to have gotten on but if stopped I would have contacted game and fish and tell them that I have a downed animal in the area. Maybe game and fish would feel some pity and try to help you get on.

That is a shame. A once in a lifetime buck taken right from underneath him. If it was a buck of that caliber I am sure that it is the same one because I do not think there are many 200 inch mulies in 24b

This is all your choice but if it were me personally I would insure it and send it to give the animal some well earned recognition.

Sounds like a great weekend. Nothing better than a weekend of biggame and upland and waterfowl spent with your son.

Man I thought I was persistent hunting 15 days this january. Alot of hard went into that buck it sounds like and it is a dandy buck at that. Congratulations.

Never have found anything like that but I can see why you are heartbroken.

Desertbull I have heard from people that the vertical sites are hard to use at times. How do the vertical pins compeare to horizontal pins?

CONGRATULATIONS!!! Have you lit up your celebratory cigar yet if not I will send one over to ya ASAP!

Two Guns just being curious what kind of speed would I be needing to shoot to be able to have my pins set like that. I would really like to have that kind of shooting ability.

I would like to be efficient out to 70 yards but would only take a shot like that if conditions were absolutely perfect. These were the top 3 sites I have been considering http://cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/pr...&hasJS=true http://cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/pr...&hasJS=true http://cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/pr...&hasJS=true

Looks like he has some good mass and tine length. Cant wait to see him on the ground with a years growth next year
