I think I saw your trailer.. (the 1 in your old avatar pic) with coueswhitetail.com???? in star valley on sunday. I was up friday sat, sunday and heard a few bulls going off! James that was me.

Can anyone really claim this? Sure, because when you become proficient you also become wise enough to pass on Shots you cant make.

When hit your target every time.

That my favorite type of nap. Congratulations

Has anyone ever done this hunt Or even been successful. has anyone ever seen elk within the boundary. I am just trying to find a way to get a little more meat in the freezer

Theres a scouting method i can work with.lol

Silver chevy pullin a 4few seat ranger. I didnt see you comeing along side of me till you blew you horn and i jumped.lol

I taged out opening day with a small coues. A few guys when out alittle lookibg for deer but mostly we were scouting for my fathers late cow hunt so in 23. The bulls were screaming in 23n. Just driving around i saw 15 bucks (all spikes and forks) i stalked bugle and took pictures in the mornings. My 4year old saw her first deer and glassed up her first elk with my 15s . I was a perfect trip

I think you may be right.. i have 3 months to kill till my dads late cow hunt. I may just focus on coyotes. I have seen elk just outside the boundary for this hunt a few years back.

Did you do any good during the deer hunt? I have one on the truck too but the quad blocks it.

I just got home from 23n. And the bulls were screaming till 10am. I found a few bulls with cows. I was able to get a few to come charging in to my bugle. But mostly i stalked lone bulls but constant bugles all-night till 10am.

Id be fine with packing out all animals. But closing access road with out marking them is crap.

If she has not turned in by now I can only assume she is out working.

After i harvested a coues last friday my father in law and i spend saturday making some brats. These are garlic and onion. We also made Italian sausage but i have not tryed them yet.

Yep 100% deer

Pretty simply really. I have a cabelas meat grinder with the sausage tubes and the sausage seasonings in cabelas garlic and onion ..

I love mine.

nice job. all these bear succsess storys are kinda giving me the itch. i aslways wondered how bear scat got in such neat piles

Very nice.

i began scouting for this hunt in April as i always do. mainly hanging trail camera and generally scouting the area. once the monsoon hit in late july i switched from an intermittent spring to a cattle tank by the middle of august the tank was full so i build a natural brush blind. august 15 every think looked perfect. the tank was still full and the deer were using in it often as every thing is the area had dried up. this area got heavy rain for 5 days prior to the opener. opening morning i left my house at 130am i was at my blind by 430. my tank was over flowing and every creek was a river in the area. so i haul butt back to my truck to get my tripod and my 15's. it was time for "plan b". by sun up i was sitting over what we call the grand canyon glassing a huge ridge till near 10. i packed up and headed into an area ive never been to. but it looked it would hold deer and im glad i had a chance to check it out but i did not see any thing but while hiking i bumped a mule deer. i could hear it bounce a way. so i make my way back to the quad. on my way out of there i glanced over toward the "grand canyon" and now the sun is behind/over it give me the best opportunity to look into the shade. so i go back to give it a quick once over. i sit down and set up my 15's and immediately i ve got two buck feeding near the top. i watched them feed a while and move into a group of trees and never come out. im sure they beded but i cant see them. i moved for every possable angle and i still dont see them. by now its 130 and i decide i aint got nothing else to do. so i plan a stalk. to get around this grand canyon i must move parrel about .5mile then i can get to the other side hike up and over this masive hill go over to the unseen side close the distance and pop back on the the side with the bucks. so i do. every thing gos good to this point just long and hot. so as im crest the hill back on to the side with the deer 2 white tails streak out in differant directions once toward the buck that are beded at this point im pretty sure that the bucks im after have feed over about 200y and i just spooked them and blew my stalk. but ive decide that i came this far i better see it thru. so i stalk all the way to the group of trees. when i get there no sign of the bucks so now im sure the deer i bumped early were the ones i was after. so i move thru the stand of tree just to see if i could find the beds. as i step just past the far tree i glance up the hill and i see a buck at 97y feeding. i jumped back. i swing back and use the other tree to block my approach i get to 67y but have no shot. i can see a juniper that if i can get to i can move to the left of an i should have a shot. by time i get there hes moved a little and i have no shot. now i can see the other buck and they are feeding but the 3 of us play cat mouse 20mins finally i moved to the right edge of a juniper and the bucks are at 43y. at this point the wind is swirling a little but there was very little wind to start with. they whistled at me 4 or 5 times and man is that loud. after 5 mins they when back to feeding so i stood up drew my bow and stepped clear of the bush, now theres 3 buck standing very close together blocking each other. but they are moving out as they know something is up. the big buck and the big fork move and leave a perfert shot to the still feeding spike and i nailed him. he when about 100y and pilled up

I know theres a member here who can help me donate my rifle tag but i dont remember who.

Any rifle coues tag is a great tag. They all require hard work and long hikes. 6a is a great tag.

with eggs this morning;). I feel like i got hit by a bus today. Everything is soar.
