Scott, Way to go! I just had to wipe drool off of my keyboard! That buck is awesome! Congrats Jay

I just got my buck from last season back from Mogollon Taxidermy. Clay Goldman did another fantasic job! IMO, Mogollon is the best in the business and I am glad he is a sponsor of this site! Special thanks Clay!! Good Hunting to those who are going out this weekend! Knock em down! This buck must have been a fighter becuase his ears were tore up!!

Thanks for the compliments! I am always happy when I get something back from Clay! Coues Sniper your right its official score is 130 5/8 net non typical, 133 5/8 gross.

Thanks for all of the positive comments about Michael's bull, he definitely deserves a bull like this with all of the time he has hunted these awesome animals. I believe this bull probably was lost and found himself on the wrong side of a barbed wire fence. He definitely has some serious character. The rut was tough this year and the bugling was down. I think it is due somewhat to a severely dry August and the cows didn't cycle on normal time. Also the dark moon I think played havoc with all of us elk hunters this year. Take care and lets get fired up for Coues season. Good Hunting to all!

Nice shot Brian! You sure hammered him! Still can't get over how much of a beauty he is! Congrats!

Brian-Congrats again! That buck is a hog! Thanks for coming by last night and letting me see it, that is truly a buck of a lifetime! Your hard work has paid off big time!

Jim- Loads great for me and it looks fantastic! Keep up the good work!

sw- I am sorry you guys had a bad experience in Sonora. I have found a good rule of thumb is to never stay in any town longer than you have to and to make sure you are hunting a ranch that you can lock the gate behind you and stay right on the ranch. IMO, once you lock the gate the odds of anything bad happening go down dramatically. I would recommend to always stay on the property you are hunting. There are some great outfitters as sponsors of this site you might check them out. I just went to Mexico with Brad Fulk of Rio Sonora Outfitters turkey hunting and felt completely safe. Take care and good hunting!

That was an awesome video! Great shot and awesome display of patience waiting for the bird to get in the right spot. Man he acted like he had done that a hundred times. That was neat to see him keep his cool until it was time to let er' rip. How old is he? That is great to see the kiddos getting out there!!

Amanda, very nice job on the turkeys and the photos!

Very Nice job on the gobbler!

Great job on the video! Very nice bull

Nothing like the sound of gobbling turkeys in the spring! Good luck with the antlers guys, find some big ones.

Grong, nice sheds and photo! Have you heard any gobbles yet this spring?

Great Video quality! Awesome Shot! There is nothing like seeing youth hunters enjoying hunting and fishing!

Nice pics guys. Jim, I am surprised that huge fish didn't capsize your boat!

Nice photos! Looks like neat country! Talk about Die hard coues deer hunters backpacking in March. I am impressed by the effort. A+ guys
