    .338 WM load

    Gotcha- just curious what's it for. Should be great for elk- everyone up in Alaska used a .338 for inland grizz and moose with great results
  3. Found a dead brown pelican at Parker canyon lake in 03, that was the year of a big drought and pelicans were landing on concrete with mirage, read an article there were hundreds dead, pretty cool ,I found this one near Parker creek on the sidewalk, u can see that it landed on the sidewalk and smashed his body

    36A Question?

    70 inch would be awesome for a first buck- don't focus on numbers on your first coues hunt- try to focus on getting a good hunt and experience out of it and take whatever buck makes your finger itch. In 36A the farther you hike the closer you get to another group of hunters! Glass pockets in little hills and washes and your odds of finding a 70 inch buck becomes greater however your odds of seeing a buck is reduced since there's not as many deer in the flats as there are in the hills.
  11. What about copper rounds? They don't have tips on them?

    Starflight fob?

    Yes tigheter groups at longer ranges 60-70 yards than blazers. Cant vouch for anything else though.

    36A Question?

    Most people will agree with me- this unit is hard to locate mature bucks in. Mature bucks do not live in the mountains in 36a, they live in the flats. I've found a few bucks in the mountains that were 3-5 years old but its not that common, it's easier to locate mature bucks in most other units in southern az. You will see large, equal sized crowds at all mountain ranges in the unit and Sierrita mtns being the most populated. Scouting is a must, if anything find an area where there's lots of coues in the flats that is glassable from the hills. Good news is you have the oct hunt which is the easier hunt to do in 36a, the unit is easy to find 50-80 deer per day with several spikes and forks. I've hiked to top of Colorados and once you reach the top you can see the other side where there's alot of hunters- it seems that the mountains are covered pretty good and the big bucks have no where to hide but the flats. good luck man

    What about stories that are a few years old?

    Just can't be...

    Moss is incorrect, not the largest coues taken by bow by a woman, I know of some that are bigger by a woman
  21. The tail will be the sole identification of the deer, if you have a mule deer tag and shoot a coues that has a muley rack and a coues tail you will get in trouble. A feller shot a 180lb coues deer down south and it had a Muley rack and ears and body but it had a whitey butt, I think it scored 130 or so

    Passing on Gene's ?

    Actually I've heard and believe the deformity will happen on the opposite side of the injury and is typically with leg injuries. I've also heard that there are parasites that can cause deformities as well. Some deformities are just a genetic trait and that can and does get passed down to offspring. We watch bulls grow every year in the same areas and it's fairly common to see genetic traits being handed down. It's neat seeing a new bull come of age and knowing who his daddy was! JIM> Jim is correct, as a wildlife biologist on studies, if a bull is injured on his right side, if he has an abnormal antler it will be on the opposite side of the injury, it is similar to ur brain, the left side of ur brain controls the right side of your body and vise versa
