elkhunter

I've thought about this before, I'd keep it quiet and put my house in full protection mode, I would NOT take the rack to a taxidermist because others will be able to see it. I wouldnt write up a magazine article, just put it on the wall and enjoy the success of another hunting season. I would avoid all the publicity...I'd leave all that publicity for hollywood folks. Good topic

I was working with Game and Fish at Jacob Lake station this past wkn, I'm sure I saw you guys around, seems like everyone had a great time up there and thanks to ADA for the free food as well!

Someone said about 4000 people screw up their payments and application info. It's possible all tags were taken before you got drawn and gave you your second choice and then some of those people who drew your 1st choice got application denied or payment problems and that's how they get those leftover tags, they put em back after application problems

I was out there with a buddy who has a dec tag before the oct season started, found 2 small bucks, and this past weekend I was out there again...alot of pressure, we saw elk and bighorn sheep but no deer, every hunter on the road flagged me down to ask if I've seen any bucks, seemed like a hard hunt to do

ahh wow dude, nice buck! It's nice how you were able to get pics and follow him around, congrats.

Here's Stacy with the buck, hope she gets a dandy this december

Thanks alot guys!

It was a fun hunt, I glassed up my buck opening day after losing 5 other bucks that went over the hill, he was bedded down under a tree, nice and snug, the deal was for my dad to shoot the first buck but after he saw how nice this buck was he told me I could take him. 333 yard shot and the buck laid his head down, Younghunter and I scored him at 109 3/8. Biggest one yet. Over the next couple of days and 23 bucks later, one finally gave my dad an opportunity to shoot and my dad hit the buck twice at 220 and 250 yards, his buck scores 81 even with a broken tine. This is his first coues buck after a couple years of chasing them. See my buck here See my buck dead here Thanks to Dad and my sister My dad's buck It was a fun hunt, all bucks bedded by 8am made it for some tough huntin

wow....enough said

.300 win mag, it's killed 5 bucks now and all of em dropped in it's tracks or simply laid it's head down, I know it's an overkill but I feel great knowing the deer oughta drop in it's tracks when it's hit...I dislike tracking

Some people wanted to see a comparison of my last two bucks, just finished boiling the skull The buck on the left is 102' from last year and the one on the right is the 109 3/8 from this year, the main difference between these bucks is the mass

Thanks guys, it's nice to bring home something else along with stickers and thorns that I'm still pullin out right now.

Congrats on your buck dude, sure is fun knowin you're young and got all that huntin ahead of ya Both our dad's are the same, letting us shoot the first or biggest bucks, we owe it all to em

Red brings me good luck

whoohoo

Mine got cashed a while back, bout a week after deadline

ah i'm cringin right now.... My old man killed 6 muleys out of 27 in the low end country, not once did he ever see a coues there in the 80's, look like they're expanding

There's a few guys who use it for coues, show pictures of the results please!

Duncan Hunter top vote for me, Hilary can kiss my a**

Coosefan, I have the same scope as you do but it's topped on a .300winmag. I dialed mine in at 200 yards and got 2inch group at 300yds, I'm usually not a great shot at that distance so it really blew my hat off how well they were hitting. Have you tried it outside of 300 yds yet? It's darn well right on to 500 yards, it's seems unreal how well the scope works, glad you like it too.

Yeah custom made is what you need, seems like the hats available today are made in MASS production and are all the same...they need more variety

You must have a weird head like I do, I bought a felt hat that looked best on me and steamed it with an Iron and water into a custom shape and fit, might be a plan B if you can't find a custom hat tailor

In the "How to hunt coues deer" book by Duayne Adams, he recommended .300 win since you won't want to track coues in the desert and has less trajectory change when there's wind. I would feel more comfortable with the .300 knowing it'll knock em over their butt but every caliber kills coues dead above .243

Critters be falling left and right infront of you from now on Congrats on the kill, arch pig is always an adventure
