I just looked up the thread from last year. http://www.coueswhitetail.com/forums/topic/50013-velvet-bull-621/ I didn't have an early tag. These are bulls just around the house.

I havent' been out much this year, but most bulls will be as big as they will get in the next 3 weeks. This was taken last year on June 21st if I remember right.

I would have to agree with yotebuster, over the next few years you will save much more money with a gas motor. If you pulled a heavy trailer daily or weekly I would say diesel but for me it is a no brainer. I own both

Here are 2 bucks in mid 70's both from NM.

First buck low to mid 70's around 74 is my guess. 2nd buck is less. I'm far from an expert, but I've killed a few in that score range.

Show lows best one is memorial day.

In this day fuel and ammo are way more expensive than a weeks supply of rice/beans/pasta...

Congrats again on an awesome bull Rob- I wish I would have been able to make it up. Great job.

Swivel if mine came across as personal I apologize. I'll put my name in there instead of yours since many people shoot much better than I do. I believe ethics is personal and can not be dictated by a set of rules.

Some of you holier than thou guys are exactly what is wrong with this world. Swivel- I can guarantee you there are many people that can shoot better (every time) at 1000 yards than you can at 400 yards or less. Or 120 yards with a bow and you at 50 yards. Does this make them unethical because you can't do it? Absolutely not. I guess every hunter in the early 1900's -1960's (and before) was unethical and we are so much better than them. Shooting at running deer, iron sights, recurve bows at 40 yards. WOW, they were so unethical, we should all be doomed because our ancestors were people of such low moral character.!!! GIVE ME A BREAK, and you guys get off your high horses.

Awesome!! The truly important things in life!

My opinion is keep the distances to your self- it is self-serving without merit except to pat your own back. I've shot animals at long ranges both rifle and archery and I do not see it as an ethical dilemma but as controversial topic that will not please everyone. My close friends are the only ones who know the true distances, be it 5-200 yards. It really shouldn't matter. Congrats on some fine trophy's. Well done!!

Awesome buck!! congrats and welcome to CW.com

10 years ago I killed my first archery bull and wanted it mounted. Due to school, no money, young family etc... I picked a taxidermist that was very new and extremely cheap. I was very ecstatic of having my bull done quickly so I could enjoy the mount. Well after it was pointed out by a few that the taxidermy work was sub par, (which I had realized, but didn't care about because it was in my budget at the time) I scrimped and saved and got lucky enough to have an established taxidermist re-do the mount. (probably 4 years later) Since that time my ideas of taxidermy have changed and I would rather pay once for quality than 2 or 3 times getting something fixed. I do not regret my decision at all, but now I appreciate quality work and will never use a sub par taxidermist again.

Grey- still is kinda...you only get credit for spread up to the longest mainbeam..

I like a light weight shoe, (trail runner) for warmer weather archery hunts.

I've mentioned before, but I like the destroyer so much I had both the original and the limited edition they sold for a limited time. My son uses my original and I sold the limited edition. I wish I would have kept it. I'm shooting the experience now and absolutely love it, I like it as much or maybe even better than my destroyer and significantly better than any of the other bows. If you are looking at brand new, take a look at G5 prime and elite, both have great bows this year. Elite would be the only one I would upgrade over my experience.

Phil- That is awesome!! way to go.

I had only trouble with my vortex viper, especially tracking in the turrets. I agree with Stomp, spend the little extra for the Leupold VX3.

Nice job cuz!! and Happy Birthday!! you ol man. !!

I had the same problem...I'm sitting on a pair of 11.5's and I need 11's....oh well

Great job!! Turkey is on another thread...

Great Goulds, nicely done. Good luck on the Bison, its going to warm up nicely this week, hope you get on them.
