New Life church in Peoria, a great place hear about our Lord and Savior, Jesus! As some of my hunting buddies state, Jesus Rocks!

Gary, Congrats on another superb Coues buck, sometimes it works very fast but I know the hours you have logged the last few years. All I can say is Geno is a Coues tactical machine! The knowledge he has is 2nd too none. You know how us men are, we are stubborn and don’t listen to others ways of doing things. This Coues buck was credit to Geno, for just giving a few coues bucks habits during this January hunt. Sometimes when you get a text with a few keys words , you can take them to heart or just let them vanish. Thanks Geno!

Way to go Justin, I new your number was being called. You had the never die attitude and it all paid off. Congrats on a superb coues!

John, What a stud 1st archery buck WoooHOOO!!!!!!! Congrats on an awesome buck!! You are da man, could not happen to a better guy!!!! Merry Christmas!!!

After thinking for awhile, I must be getting old..... Sometime 22-24 years ago I was shooting a shoot at Ben Avery and I had overheard a few older guys talking about angle shots. What I thought I heard was; if it is a deep angle downhill shot then you subtract 1/2 the distance and if it is uphill you double the distance.... Well fast forward 4 months to the September Archery deer hunt in 17b. I just crested a hill between 2 mountains and heard some noise and as I looked up. Here was a buck of a lifetime! Thinking back he was a minimum 170" plus. Ok.....I split my 40 and 50 yard pin....Then this thought came during full draw........, I need to double the yardage, it is up hill.... ok crap I only have a 60 yard pin.......hummmmmmm ok put the 60 pin on top of his back. Welllllllll: As I watch the arrow sail 2 foot over his back the rest is history. I think I shot 3 -4 arrows after that in disgust! Trying to figure how, I missed so badly. Every time I double the distance I was sailing them arrows into no man’s land. Then I tried cutting the distance, would you know, I hit what I aimed at. Lesson number 280.... Do not always believe what you hear. Try for yourself before a great opportunity presents itself and vanishes in a blink of an eye.

How did your archery hunter do so far?

Yes it is, what a ram with archery equipment.

Well after passing many bucks this fall and waiting for two bucks or bust, sometime I wonder what I was thinking. after only seeing small bucks this December and also enjoying the snow and 20 degree weather, I said self, I think you are cold and tired and the freezer is empty, time to enjoy some tasty Coues meat. This happen to be the smallest buck but a very enjoyable time hunting the elusive archery coues buck. A good way to end a Sunday hunt and get ready for 2012.

Thx! sure is a blast to hunt with a bow and enjoy this great State of AZ .Hopefully 2012 will bring the same type of enjoyment. Merry Christmas

Awesome!! Thanks for the ride

Good stuff and some great table fair! almost 2012 go time for ya!

5.5/8"

I always enjoy seeing wide bucks, congrats

Great job Troy! I know you spent a ton of time shooting the last few months and the many trips getting to know the area. I am still impressed how this hunting forum has lead so many new people to become friends; helping each other when needed! What a lifetime achievemnent to harvest such a beautiful ram!

Just got back, I did shoot a coues with my bow, young buck but a very nice winter cape, let me know if you want it

Simply, Very few have the passion and dedication to produce year in and year out. Way to GET R DONE...
