2015 Coues Rut Video((update pics added))
OpticNerd replied to OpticNerd's topic in Photography of Coues Deer and Other Wildlife
Thanks guys! Yes I did use a different camera this year. Good eye man! Instead of using my old trusty Canon I decided to use the Sony RX100 this time around. I liked using the RX100 quite a bit better than the old Canon. I use a custom digiscoping setup. I'm constantly changing or modifying my set up trying to achieve better results. The main components of my current setup consist of an old Vixen scope, an older model Leica 20-60x zoom eyepiece and a Sony RX100 all of which is held together with various modifications and adapters. -
Nice bucks! I agree with kazpilot25 that last one looks like a stud.

A little late but I think a 12x and 20x would be a killer combo if your willing to carry two sets of glass. If you plan on using the 12s around your neck you definitely want to try it before you buy it. If you can steadily hand hold the 12s then they would be an awesome around the neck bino. Unfortunately I can't even hand hold 10s steady enough so I prefer 8s as my go to around the neck glass.

Great stuff! On a side note I had a fun time explaining to my 4 year old daughter what KBS was. To her it means Kill Big Stuff. Thanks for taking the time making and sharing the videos. Looking forward to seeing the Mexico video when it's done.

2015 Mexico Coues Deer Hunt Photos Part 3
OpticNerd replied to Jay Scott's topic in Jay Scott Outdoors/Colburn and Scott Outfitters
Congrats on a great buck! Looks like you guys are doing pretty good down there this year. This buck has quite a unique eyeguard layout making it hard to tell if he only has one or two. -
I've used both and I prefer straight for my hunting style. It all boils done to personal preference really. In general if you do majority of your glassing in an upward angle then an angled scope would probably be more comfortable for longer use. If you do most of your glassing looking down steep angles then a straight scope would probably be best.

Might be a long shot but I'm looking for a 35x12.5r16.5 BFG AT KO within an hour drive of Sierra Vista. Would prefer at least 25% remaining tread on the tire. If you happen to have one please let me know. Thanks!
-
Very cool indeed! I never knew about the whitetails skeletal frame being done growing by the age of 3.5 years thus having a significant jump in antler growth the following year. I wonder if this is the same for coues? If so that would be some would be good to good info to know.
-
The tire doesn't need to be a BFG. Any tire that will fit a 16.5 rim that is close to the same size as a 35 inch BFG with at least 25% remaining tread will do. Thanks!
-
Bump.

Thanks let me know.

Dang dude after reading your other two post where you help your two brother in laws and now reading this one you've had one awesome coues season so far! What a stud of a buck which you seem very deserving of. Congrats man!

Just got done reading your other brother-in-law post Creed and all I got to say is you get my vote for broth-in-law of the year! Congrats on the buck Isaiah! Here's to you Creed on doing one heck of a job taking these young hunters out and setting such a good example. Keep up the good work guys! -
Great bucks guys congrats! It always amazes me how something so small can be so tough. I'm really diggin the trail cam pic of the buck in velvet that GreeneMachine posted.

Late November hunt comes to an end...again
OpticNerd replied to creed_az_88's topic in Rifle hunting for Coues Deer
Awesome buck young man! From Creed's description sounds like the future of hunting is in good hands with this young hunter. It's always good to see that there are young hunters out there like him. -
Had a Successful Year of Hunting
OpticNerd replied to wildcat's topic in Rifle hunting for Coues Deer
What a great looking coues! I really like the side view of your buck. Hard to beat hunting with family. Even though we didn't kill much some of my best hunting memories are the ones hunting with my dad. Congrats to you and your dad!
