PSE Triton, got it when the store went on a sale...being a cheap guy I am and used 100grn wac-ems, used the same deal on the last 3 pigs

Hey thanks, meat's all grinded up with bacon, jalepanos and onions and the skull's just about done. Heading out tmw. Clay Price- you ask what unit....I was in "my most favorite" unit

Has anyone heard from Doug yet? I'm waiting for his story/pics because I know he's gonna pull a dandy...any one heard from him yet?

I will stand by your score, I shot bucks tad smaller than yours and they rounded out to 102 and 109, Congrats on the buck, andy sent me pics of it as soon as it was killed, I was estatic thinking it was Jess's buck! Good job on pulling it off with a booner's buck. Andy's a good one to have around, like he always says...he ain't a great coues hunter, he just has stupid luck chasing them. good luck this Jan

Good job Dude

Ba$***D! Still can't wait for the pics Grong- he had you going too huh?

I got pictures! But they're on my phone, it's a BIGGUN!

Good job Stacy, you earned this buck, you walked long and hard, did your scouting and shot well over 100 rounds practicing, you're a die hard hunter see ya around the house and boil the skull soon

My roomate, Josh, drew a Dec tag. We left school (NAU) on wed to do some last minute scouting to add up our bits of info together from previous scouting trips. Opening morning came, we spotted 2 bucks right away, one was too small to shoot and the other snuck away before we could get a solid look at him. We pretty much stayed on the same mountain all day glassing each canyon 1 by 1 only to find does. Finally during the last hour we picked up an antler like object (later determined to be .81 mile away) and both of us confirmed it has to be some type of critter, we cut the distance in half and from the top of the mountain looking below we confirmed it was a shooter buck, we got to 215 yards and Josh laid the SMACK DOWN on this buck, bullet hit in about the liver and exited front shoulder taking out a chunk of the heart, buck went a few yards and laid down, he has a typical 4 pt frame and scores 103 6/8 and this is his first coues buck, he is kind of sad it is over already. Bad pics due to scanner. Josh Me with Josh's buck

Thats a dandy buck, the side picture showed how heavy his antlers are, good job

2 bucks rutting out of 7 I saw

I THOUGHT the dumbest thing I've done was take this buck on a Dec hunt (2005), he was bedded down and I was having a hard time on the hunt locating...any buck (good ole days with those pair of binos that gives you a headache after glassing 5 minutes with it!) Anyways he was bedded down and I thought his bases looked great, he had moderate bases and after I let the bullet fly, I found out all he had were....bases! BUT after taking this buck I was able to spend my college christmas break with my family and that was awesome so it wasn't so dumb, but now I know I will not do that again. Then that Jan I took a small pig, I was helping some other people out and they left for a few days, I was on a herd and this juvenile pig came around and was going to bust me due to the wind (snuck up behind me) so I decided to fling an arrow, 34 yards and smacked him, I thought it was dumb but after taking him (a baby), and I was able to help my sister and a friend on the rest of the hunt chasing pigs and that was one of the best hunts I've been on. Initially I thought they were dumb things to do but at the end they turned out to be worth it. Buck with my dad and I (notice I still gave it a full blown smile) A delicous pig (also with a full smile)

It should be soon, out of the 51 does I have seen in the last few days, only 2 of them were hot and bucks were chasing them. Best of luck to Doug, he will hold it out til the end I'm sure of it

ack!!! Thats a dandy buck, congrats

Trying to get my dad to look at em! I want him to pair up swaro eyes with me on the hill

awesome awesome! gotta love December hunting! Congrats to your buddy

the first picture looks like a trail cam pic of a mt lion that was leaving the frame, looks good, gotta love dogs runnin

Good job on your first coues, i bet you're hooked now eh?

haha that's great, kinda figured it out earlier but great idea for cow hunters to make cows look like trophies

That's awesome, congrats to the girls!

hey DBarcher, remember me dude? Hows everything going? Is this rack picked up from where we were out hunting, we saw a WT doe out there last time there, nice find...quite a big one.

They are eyes of god indeed, here's a picture from the last oct hunt, this picture jusitfys how I feel towards my swarovskis....we were sitting in this spot for 7 hours waiting for bucks to come out of bedding

Got 2 december hunts under my belt to help out with, roomate and my sister looking forward to below freezing temps, we're looking at -4 temps on average for the first week

Sadly from my experience they peak the rut on Feb 1st
