Sweet buck! Ill keep an eye out. I'm going to make MORE of a concerted effort to get all of my capes back next year. This is getting ridiculous.

Great find. Cool character

Still amazed, what a giant. Did you get it colored and or mounted? I'm jealous what an awesome buck for sure

As always great job!

Yeah thats kind of stupid. Lots of reason people need storage. Take me for example, We sold our home (about 3500sqft) with a 2 car garage, we now live in the home I grew up in (580sqft) No garage. I have about 20 mounts that take up about 480 of that sqfootage so yeah I need a storage unit for the rest of the mounts and tools and ammo etc.........until I build another home.

Actually we almost always get stopped north of Douglas by border patrol at their checkpoint. We have never had a problem though hence the reason I made sure to clarify.

Beautiful buck! Nice buck to end your tag on! I like that downturned beam, very cool.

Ive been going down through Douglas for 16 or 17 years to hunt deer and occasionally some Goulds. The ONLY problem we have ever had is being extorted for $40 or $50 bucks occasionally, and the dang knuckleheads on the US side coming back in. Sure is funny how much grief they give hunters over some ticks that can't get over the border any other way than on a dead deer cape. Sure wish they had something else to worry about, oh wait....... To be fair, we travel in the daylight and we don't hang out in the towns or cities. Once we cross we head straight to the ranch. I know its different than Rocky Point, but it sure isn't much of a risk if you ask me. A lot more dangerous in parts of the US. JUST TO BE CLEAR, I'm not knocking our border patrol, I know they have a thankless job and their hands are tied sometimes. My beef is with the Fish and Wildlife

Yes it is, giant Ram, I've had help plenty of times and I would hope that if I ever draw I'll get friends to come out. I've seen some of those guys before and they can be straight killers, good as any guides. :0 Sheep is a team effort for sure. Congrats again

I’ll take them. I’ll figure out how to get down to you Houston.

What an awesome Ram congrats!! Don’t take this wrong I just thought it was funny to see DIY and read your story and the “Team” and see the picture of an army of dang good hunters. Haha. Again not a knock just funny. I hope I get half of the help you did if I ever draw. What a great story and Ram. So cool.

I have a sony A7iii 200-600 lens. (If they are close) Works well. I also use my phone and a spotter. I'm very new into photography but I like it when I can spare the time. Couple more from the kaibab

Couple bucks I saw got killed.

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.
