Congrats Scott and awesome to see you still on the site! Beautiful buck

Nice Job Brian-huge congrats beautiful look to him.

They are here but not in much quantity. If you target a Coues you will be disappointed.

I guess I never shared this buck. I figured I would just because Since I get to go to Mx every year I've tried to apply and get mule deer tags whenever I can. I really can see the writing on the wall and the decline of the mule deer. I shot this buck in CO in 2021 on a solo hunt in a new area. Got a little lucky for sure.

My daughter shot her first buck Saturday She was headed to SEMA with her husband so her time was limited. Thanks to my buddy Ammon we made the best of it.

Great buck, tough hunting those desert bucks you did great!

Congrats to your son, that is awesome

Congrats buddy! Great weekend and some dang nice bucks!

Forgive the commentary, After I realized the buck was moving fairly quick I decided we needed more bullets in the air.

Almost everyone I know that had 15s sold them to get 12x's. AND that was before the NL's came out, the NL's are much better than the 12 ELs also. 12's and a spotter are the only way to go for Coues. Even the best 15's are lacking compared to the quality of the 12 nls. Even as a bowhunter the 12nls are just fine. I like to be as light as possible so 8s or 10s would be a little better for archery but not enough to get rid of my 12nls

I wish more people knew this. I had a friend that went to Mexico 4 times (I think he went with a very reputable outfitter also) before he killed his first buck over 100" . A couple years ago the biggest of 4 bucks on a buddies ranch killed was 105". Last year I believe they killed 4 over 115" with 2 over the 125" mark. Good management can help tremendously but it still doesn't guarantee a giant, unless you find a high fenced ranch that you want to hunt. I sure don't.

haha yep side loading enclosed trailer for $2k I need me one of those.

He is special ops, if you knew his face you would have to die. JK no idea Congrats on the antelope. They are fun to hunt

You won't, send it back and they will sharpen them for free. You will never have to,. I don't like limited edition stuff because I'm not a collector, but I do like BM knives for EDC but I use them and abuse them a lot.

Congratulations, what a great job on a long, difficult hunt. it has been a tough hunt in 3a3c this year. One of the worst I've ever seen. Lots of horses and almost no cows. Very concerning. You did well.

We have been told we can't cross with sheds so we have never attempted to do it. I have no idea on what would happen.

It will need cleaned and all hair/meat removed, you will still have to get the required paperwork, this is an federal fish and Wildlife issue. They won’t allow it without proper paperwork and cleaned properly. I don’t think there is anyway around it. I hope I’m wrong but that is the only way I know of to bring it back legally.

The only way I know is to put a regular Mexico tag on it and bring it over with all of the normal import/export paperwork. It has to be a tag from this year with a UMA # from the ranch. i shot a buck in January that I couldn’t find and the rancher/cowboy was able to find it in March. I went back down and brought it back just like I would have done it in January. reach out to me in Ernesto doesn’t get with you Houston

That is how it usually goes, nice picture. I hope that bull gets to live a few more years, he could become something special.

With moon phase and weather it is always a guess. As a rule we have killed our biggest bucks between the 10th and 20th. So we go a week around that time.

Yeah its crazy, I'm at 19 this Sept. its been a good place to spend some time.

Nice job on a summer bull! Congrats!

I have rarely seen big bulls do much if any growing after the 1st week of July, often times they will keep their velvet on for a while longer but don't grow much. I've seen lots of finished bulls by the 20th of June also. What a giant bull. So far what ive seen videos and pictures of this year is looking pretty dang good. Lots of big bulls will be killed this year. .

What a cool buck, congrats.
