This looks like a great bullet for the ultramag cal shooters. I agree that it might be a bit much for the little coues we like to hunt. I know that for my '06 it might not open up enough on the long range shots, just look at how little it mushrooms at 1800fps. A good clue as to how stout the bullet is. Too stout?? The Accubond has the same thing going on as far as minimum speed for mushrooming, 1800fps. that is why I have not tried it yet. Funny how in the last few years the 30'06 has become a slow poke caliber.

Coosefan you are fired and I hear by place you under non-posting suspension at least until my eyes stop burning and maybe as long as I have the image in my head. THANKS

and you thought you were the only one looking forward to your scouting trips................Thanks for sharing! we can't wait to see more!

He might not be dead yet, they might have put him to sleep so they could take pictures of him for a prospective shooter. Shooter because who ever shoots him a'nit no hunter.

I would say go with what you have. It is far more important to get really good than to worry about arrow grain weight. Some guys who have been bowhunting for years will say that you can't go after Elk with less than a 500grn arrow! They might not be shooting compounds. -You should pratice with broadheads. -Work on your set up and once you find what works, if it does already don't mess with it. I have seen guys burn months and kill there own confidence because they get convinced they 'don't have enough' and make big changes. -Practice while standing or on a knee on un-even ground, Elk like hills too. I look forward to your scouting trips and pics!

Amex users! Last year I drew an elk tag but the charge to my Amex card appered between 2-3 days after the draw results were posted on the AZGFD web site. I remember this because I was really bummed out to here all the others whos cards were hit and I still had not seen any activity when I would check the CC web site. I could be off but that is the way I remember it. I applied this year on the 25th of Jan and they took the app fees the same day. Actual charges might go up but maybe Amex don't do Pending stuff.

I aint gonna check......................Im to skeered

Sad to see but at least you got to take a coyote out of it. Does he only have a left antler? It looks like a three point. Thanks for sharing!

I am intrested! I will send you a PM.

Nice big javi. Let us know how he scored skull wise. I am waiting for Lark to chime in on this one!!!

Our family has always processed our own game meet and we have not had any issues as of yet. The only thing that stands out is a young fork coues buck that my cousin took about four years ago. We all had high hopes for some great meat from this tender young buck but it came out gamie. The only thing that was done differently was that my cousin ran home from 36C and skinned him and froze the quarters bone-in. Since it was warm as usual but was still in a hurry to get back to camp he did not do the normal routine of butchering "in-shop." The loins were enjoyed that night and were great, the rest of the meat was not. The second is the Elk chorizo that my wife made back in November. I still have about 3 pounds left and it does not taste gamie but rather spoiled. The ground Elk is fine and so are the loins. I think that the canola oil that was used to prepare the chorizo was already used or just plain old. It makes me want to cry to have to toss that chorizo out. Besides that every thing else was great, especially the tamales. Don't kill it if you are not going to eat it(except for coyotes) and bucher your own if you want to eat the game you took!!!!!!!

Here we go again

You guys are making me LMAF!!!!!!!

so would I!!!!!!!!!!

I had Elk chorizo yesterday morning for breakfast................hum..hum...good... Sad part is that I am getting down to the last of it.

Very cool! You see those in alot from the "regular" WT back east. Sonora?

Sorry for your loss. Your father sounded like a great man. We will pray for you.

A big congradulations on your jem of a doe. Hold on, enjoy because it is one of the best jouneys you will ever take. May God bless you and yours!

Wow...................just WOW. Talk about a hog.

Thanks guys. I didn't have time to check back here before leaving so I ended up having to dumping at the TTT in east of Tucson. Thanks for the responces anyways. I never thought about Beaudry's. That is alot closer to my house.

I need to find an RV dump site along I-10 between Phx area and Tucson. I need to bring our TT home. I am paying for storage here in Tucson and have it up at sister-in-law's in Phx. Be sides I need to get her ready for the rifle javie hunt. thanks

Wow.........................that is sad. I couldn't imagin finding something like that. She looks healthy from the pic. Was she hurt previously or did she look weak? Injuries? Looks like she just timed the jump wrong.

I always asumed the same thing. they are a problem in this area...etc...etc

What a beauty!! Congrats and well done!

Cool! I like the 'walk' of the first coues, he is the man and he knows it.
