CouesBuckhunter

gotta get those bucks! and that bear! nice pics too. im guessing a bushnell trophycam 5mp?

Heres my cat, Simba. Sitting for quail. Some fawns gettin water.... ...and then.. the return of captain hook and the intimidating fawn! it gets better! whos the boss!

well said! i have found numerous 100-115+ bucks in the ocotillo thickets. in fact, my dad killed a 111 4x4 coues in the ocotillo/mesquite/oak thickets this year back in august.

my theory on this year alone is that there are such huge bucks because of the abundant rains we had this year making for good nutrition

haha i named him captain hook because he has an abnormal tine coming off the left side that hooks

cool pics

i have a video of a little mulie buck doing the same thing!

wow

lol. 5 foot mass! hahaha

cant really compare him to any thing for size but from that angle his skull isnt huge. but its definatly a black bear

nice finds. Ive only found 6 coues sheds this year so far and 2 pick ups.

CONGRATS

Last year in december i was out scouting an area thats always full of bucks in the rut. I glassed up coues buck that was 115 or better. He was always going to this broken trick tank to get water so i set up a neat little brush blind. and a day later it was january 1st. I sat there and what do you know, he walked right in and looked in the blind! i didnt have time to draw. So i sat one more morning then decided to switch tactics and do spot n stalk. I go up on this litle glassing knob and what do you know, i glassed him up walking out of the same caynon i just hiked through. He followed a fence line and then got on a hot doe and followed her to the trick tank! anyways she bedded down with him and i made my way down. But what i didnt know is that she had got up and moved to the next cut towards me. so by the time i got down there she had me pinned and then took off. he got up 40yrds away facing me. i didnt want that shot but he didnt offer me any other... then later in january without luck in finding that 115 deer i sat one of my water spots for the evening. There were does everywhere!,which was a good thing. Then a doe came running towards me as i watched the big boy that pushed her. It was a 100+ buck and he neared 60yrds then 50yrds broadside. I drew back and a dang doe stepped in between me and him. i never got a shot. Also,this isnt a hunting mistake but it had the same feeling.~ i went out to check a spring for deer sign, there are some hills i could see from where i was so i thought, what the heck and set up the binocs and the tripod. Right as i set the binocs up i had 4 nice bucks. one 4x4-105-110 and 2 3x3s-85&100 and one of the bigest 2x2s ive ever seen! easily 90inches. The 2x2 and 4x4 stated to get into a fight. But I had dropped my back when i looked for a good glassing spot so i ran back to get the video camera. when i came back they were still at it even harder. I thought, o man u better not break any tines! a minute later they were still fighing hard. they were nearing a 5foot drop off [this was some rugged country] and what do you know, they went down it. 30 minutes later the 2x2 came up from the cut. but after 30 minutes more i still could not find the 4x4. Its a gut-wrenching feeling because i want to send him an arrow!

thanks for serving. And yes the tags for archery deer mule/coues are over the counter and seasons are jan. august. and december. there is abundant public and natlforest land.

tryed to get some pics but they are not on my computer but heres a link to the pics~Visit My Website

I drew bear ~ 35a and pig ~ 34a

trail cams are an important tool too

I love to sit water. I got my first bear tag this year and sat water and killed a record book bear with my bow. It may take awhile for a good bear to come in but once it does its 20-30 yard shot, a dead bear if you keep your nerves under control. I plan on siiting water again because i drew the same tag again. 35a

good pics

I just made a topic in the trail cam section, its called some cool and funny pics. I set up a poll on there, vote on the best pic!

school comes first. What I do is check my grades on powerschool every week making sure i have all assignments turned in. that way i have straight As ans dont have to worry about failing grades and not going hunting

I had recently bought a reconyx HC600 after screwing aroung with moultries and leaf river cams. It tested great and i got rechargable AAs and security box,python lock,lag bolts, and a 8gb card. So i decides to set it up on a spot ive been wanting to put a cam on that actually works. I charged the batteries up and locked it to the tree, i left the cam out for 32 days and came back to check it and it had over 2200 pics on it with 89% battery left. Heres a few of the pics~

hey ApatKelly, did the 3x4 look like this one?
