Kilimanjaro

here are my only 2 NA animals to make book.. my first pronghorn that netted 82 even.. and my second one that netted 83 and change as is.. had he not broke, he woulda broke 85 net.. here is my red stag from New Zealand from when I was working over there.. 340'ish stag.. a South TX Whitey that I rattled up and smoked from about 10ft!! and an Impala ram I took.. I've got 4 of these boogers and could shoot a hundred more!!

Bucknasty, I see you and I are hangin' in the same "alley"!! Where they come up with this, I couldn't even begin to guess..

I posted a bunch of my favorite trophies last time 'round on the previous post.. Check out the link that Amanda provided to it.. All of my pics are still on there.. here's that link again.. http://forums.coueswhitetail.com/forums/in...?showtopic=3171 here are some more of my all time FAV-O-RITE trophies I've taken thus far.. can't choose a favorite, cuz I love 'em all!! I'll try and not repost any pics from the thread from last time if I can help it!! my 56" Kudu bull.. my big daddy BLACK bull giraffe.. to say large is an understatement!! my zebra stallion from 2000.. ...and then one from 2006.. how 'bout a 20" blackbuck from way back when.. I was a youngbuck freshmen in college in this pic! Circa 1996 or so!! Look at that baby face!! I'll throw some more on here after awhile!! Got plenty more to share if the thread starts slowin' down.. BTW, great pics guys!! Keep 'em coming!

I may have ya beat.. the name they assigned me is "Bitch Alley".. no kidding. Where they come up with this, I have no idea..

THAT IS AWESOME!! Reminds me of the bulldog on National Lampoon's Van Wilder!!

good lookin' mutt that Tug!!

off of Cotton Mesa outta CO.. high fenced place..

very nice Amanda!! Those are some whopper coues bucks!!

noworries, that is super!! I've always wanted to head down there for an Oceola bird..musta been a unique hunt down in the palmetto swamps!! Were there lots of birds?? Were they very vocal like a Rio? They are all that I lack for the Slam.. I have tons of Rios, one Eastern bird from the Ozarks in Arkansas, and one Merrriams from NM.. after that slam is done, we'll have to go and find them Gould's and Ocelated in MX to get that "super slam"!! congrats again on a really nice bird!

you guys say that you hate the on-line application process.. Well, I have someone that'll make it all better and give us all better odds next year.. Don't worry folks.. he's a professional.. BBBBWWWWAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!

sweet find on the Ipod!! what kinda music was on it?? Some hard core gangsta rap??

this state is by far the WORST state in the country for drawing a tag.. I agree 100% with you Jim.. If you draw a quality tag, you wait and let others have a chance at a tag.. 5 year wait.. no exceptions. This random draw crap is as worthless as tits on a bull.. I mean how can you have someone with ZERO points draw a tag over someone with MAX points?? That is just plain stupid. I put more stock in myself winning the lottery than actually getting to have an elk hunt in this state before I leave. All the more reason I want to go to Montana.. 3 or 4 years and you've got a good bull tag in your pocket.. And I think I'll be put on the moon before I get a sheep tag here. BUT, if ya don't play, you'll never win!! I'll continue to give my money to the screwed-up system here in AZ to at least have that miniscule chance to be put into the game for once..

nice cat.. congrats

well, maybe then again... chupavenado??? As we all know, there's some creepy crawlies out there in the desert at night.

remember this one, guys?? I found it last year up in the hills in 36B.. you can see the bite marks on the windpipe. Also, I think the dead giveaway for it being a lion kill was the rather large lion tracks all around the "crime scene"... woulda been a good deer too.

nice job Casey.. I cannot count how many hours I spent during my high school and college days doing euro mounts , "paying my dues" at the taxidermy shop where I worked for all those years.. I cring at the thought of them these days!! ahh, the smell of boiled cat meat... I can still smell it as if it were yesterday!!

cool pics Casey.. I need to get up around Sedona and do a little hiking.. Also need to do Hunpherys again! We have been hiking our butts off lately.. Wrightston 3 times, Mt. Kimball, Wassen Peak, Romero pass, etc.. We did Wrightston again today with 55lb packs.. I am smoked!! Trying to get our butts in gear for our climb in June up Mt. Rainier in Seatlle. That one's gonna test us BIG time!! 3 days up, one day down!!

McKinnley is on my list of must climber's.. I'll climb that hill one day! great pic Christian!

skunked on my oryx tag in NM.... again... for the 7th time... looks like I'll try again next year. Oh well, I'll just take mine in the Karoo region of South Africa next summer when I head back. He was gonna be on my wish list for next years safari anyways.

Give Match Grade Arms a look.. I've got a .300WSM getting built there right now.. Should be ready this summer. Just in time to break it in with that unit 9 early rifle hunt!! Hill Country Rifles is another. I took a HCR in .300RUM to Africa last year. Great looking and shooting custom gun that was deadly on all the critters I hunted.

nice going Doug!! those Goulds sure are a treat to see.. We saw them alot this past Mearns season. Looks like they are doing quite well down around Parker Canyon..

HAHA!! That photo sure looks familiar to the one I saw back in Nov. Yours looks like it is gonna have a tad bit more kick to it than mine did!!

Hey guys, I was given a deer to mount from a friend who was fortunate enough to take his first archery Az muley buck from down here in southern AZ this past season.. problem is that he really did a number on the cape and its basically trash. here's the question.. Is there any of you guys out there who have or knows someone who has a cape that they'd be wiling to part ways with?? The buck was a small forky with a 17" neck.. I have let him know that I might not be able to find a cape that is exactly the same dimensions as the one he brought me, so any cape that is from 16" to 20" would do just fine.. I have searched high and low for a cape in this area and also back home in west TX and I've been coming up with a big fat goose egg thus far.. I've found plenty of those bruiser capes, but its the little dudes that nobody keeps that are the hard ones to find!! thanks in advance..

I have a friend who treed one up in Brown canyon in the Baboquivari Mtns while lion hunting back in '99 or 2000. They took a TON of pics of it, let it go, and got in contact with Fish& Wildlife when they got the pics developed that evening..

What I learned this past season... I'll never put in for another Nov hunt again. Thats twice I had that tag, and its definatley the worst of the 3 rifle hunts.. from now on its either a Dec tag here in AZ or just fork the cash out and go to Mex in Jan..
