Your getting some great results from your little 65mm WHT_MTNMAN. That Nightforce is a sweet scope. Rumor has it that it is made by Meopta and is pretty much the same scope as the Meopta MeoStar which is a fine scope especially for the price. That being said if you want the very best scope for digiscoping IMO you'd be hard press to find a spotter better than Kowa's 88mm scope. If you got an extra $1500 laying around then the 95mm Swaro might top the Kowa but I'm pretty sure you won't be able to tell the difference between the two when comparing the pics and video shot through the both of them. If money is an issue you might want to consider looking for a used Nikon 82mm Fieldscope. You should be able to find a used one for under $1000 if you look long enough. If money is not an issue you'd be more than happy with the results you'd get from the Kowa. This of course is just my opinion nothing more nothing less.

Ft. huachuca bucks.

I was wondering the same thing. With all the talk about his hunt I sure hope he doesn't let us down.

What an AWESOME bull! I'd take him over a 370 6x6 all day every day. Congrats you did good!

Fantastic bulls! Love the mass on the muzzy bull. Jody's bull appears to have good everything(mass, width, tine length and good beams). You got one heck of a wife Becker. She seems to kill huge animals year after year. Congrats Jody and Jason!

You had a couple great scouting trips. I sure hope your able to find that big bull come opening morning. Crunching the numbers you gave your looking at a 420-440 bull. Good luck!

Took me 20 years of hunting coues to finally join the 100 inch club. Hopefully it won't take you as long as it took me. Good luck and keep us posted.

I'd be happy with that no matter what the unit. Congrats!

Heck yea sweet bull congrats! Is he a 7x6?

I absolutely love bucks where their beams almost touch but I'm really digging that bottom buck. I'd be a big mess if the bottom two bucks were standing next to each other and I had to choose which one to shoot. Thanks for the coues candy!

Sounds like you had a good time chasing elk. Sorry you didn't get the outcome you wanted but a bad day elk hunting is always better than a day at electrical school and if it isn't then maybe hunting isn't your thing. Agreed. I've never felt I've wasted money going on hunt. Something like Disneyland on the other hand that's what I consider waste of money but don't tell that to my wife.

Glad to hear that this pic is real. Awesome looking bull on top of an awesome looking jeep. What's not to like?

Great bulls! I missed this post the first go round so I'm glad it was brought back up. Hope we see some pics from him from this years hunts.

Dang the bottom end on this bull is big. Thanks for posting.

You just made my day thanks man!

Sounds about right. I don't see any other reason why A3 and Cuernos would be teaming up to get this buck. A Huge congrats to whoever found this an incredible buck you did a good job finding a buck such as this and congrats to the guys who helped get him down. Also thanks to the shooter for spending his cash to help benefit our coues. Considering how much $$$ these tags usually go for when it comes to elk and muley I'd say the shooter got a pretty good deal. For the guys in the know is there any kind of story to this buck? Congrats again to everyone involved.

After thinking about it a bit more I realized my video probably doesn't accurately show how the unit is now days. The video was made back in 2004 back when 32 was quite a bit better coues unit IMO. The last time I hunted the unit was in 08 and between 04-08 I saw a huge decline deer numbers at least in the areas I was hunting. Since 08 I've heard it's only gotten worse. I don't want to sound too negative just more accurate then what my video may portray. Good luck on your hunt cowboyup24 and maybe let us know how it turns out if you get the time.

Thanks for the confirmation. With Long Hollow and now Rattle snake closed it could get a bit crowded in the few accessible areas left to hunt on the Klondyke side.

Here ya go cowboyup24 this might get you excited for your hunt. All of this footage came from 32. https://youtu.be/twiVjd_6nyI

Just a heads up heard rumors that Rattlesnake rd may be locked up. Can anyone confirm this? Sucks if this ends up being true. I use to love hunting 32.

How long do either of these two camos last from a year of hard hunting? A couple seasons?

Man this is very tempting. Good thing I don't live any closer or I'd be out $600. If this stays available any longer I might be making a trip to Mesa this weekend.

Agree with pretty much everything your saying .270 except for the ethical=legal logic. Here's another example as to why I don't agree that legal=ethical. Back in my younger days I knew of a group of guys that would kill at-least 1-2 big ol muley bucks every winter with their bows. The way they would do this is they would find the biggest ruttin buck they could find and get as close as they could until the buck would bust them. As soon as the buck busted them all 4-5 of them would start lobbing as many arrows at him as they possibly could hoping that at least one arrow would connect and slow the buck down. One year they said they had 3 arrows in a huge 7x8 but never got him. While these guys were in their legal right to hunt in this manner I would hardly call it ethical. Ethical=legal is a good guideline to follow but this shouldn't be the only factor in determining ones ethics.

Great story with a great buck! Really digging the character of this buck. Big time congrats man! Thanks for sharing.
