While elk hunting last week in 23 we saw 2 bucks over 100" and one that would go 110" +. They are there just keep searching they are definetly there.

First off I wanted to write this to thank Christian (azcouesandelk) for helping me out so much on my hunt. We were on bulls every day we just did not get the luck we needed to put it all together. We had an awesome time and the last two days were beautiful glassing in the snow. My buddy that had the other tag killed about a 325" bull. We were together and it was his birthday so I let him shoot first and thats all it took. Well, hopefully I will get another tag so I can get back and have another great hunt. Thanks again home chicken. I will post a pic of my buddies bull soon. Sorry I posted in the wrong section.

Oh yeah you probably heard that story. The horses did great with the meat but went back to get the horns the next morning and got them down to the bottom of the mountain. Tommy went to give the horse a drink and the antler poked the horse in the side and the horse went ballistic. The horse was running off and the horns slipped off and impailed the horse in the belly. That made the horse go even crazier. He ended up loosing the entire cape and Tommy lost his 22 pistol. Just one of those things that happen and thank god no one was hurt. There are always fun circus events going on in all of our hunts. The horse ended up being OK too.

Yeah that was taken at camp we only had two trailers there. We were just down the road from the real big camp. Next time I'll shoot you a pm.

That is an awesome cat. You need to mount him chasin something.

Holy moley man. What a stud. Need more pics and story (even if you make a cool one up)

I will guess 119 4/8". Two purdy ones there fo shizzle. I love the mass and the dark chocolate antlers.

My favorite huntin partner after my mule deer hunt this year. She is 6 years old now and she sure does make my hunting trips a lot more special now.

Dang man you are becoming the coues deer master. Congrats on all the deer.

What a great buck. That is going to be hard to top there buddy.

Just kidding about the antlers. Clay said great buck. Should be done in about 9 months. Congrats again.

Hey Mitch I just dropped off you buck at Clays and Brian fell down the hill and dropped your antlers. They broke off right after the brow tines on the right side but Clay said he could fix it. He said you probably would not even be able to notice. Sorry about that. That thing was a great buck!

We got drawn for 18B HAM hunt and Unit 1 turkey second hunt. Gonna be a great spring.

That has to be a record spike.

I already had the scope from another gun I sold.

Here is what I did. I recieved a Remington model 700 model XCR in 7MM RUM for a birthday present. I first took it in and had the smith work on the trigger and turn it into a crisp 2 lb. trigger that is as good as a timney any day. I took it out and worked up some loads to see how the stock barrel shot (26") barrel. I got it to shoot 160 grain accubonds at about a 1/2" group. So the factory barrel was perfect I did not have to rebarrel. I purchased a Belle and Carlson medalist stock and sent the action, barrel, trigger, scope rings and everything metal to have cerakote put on it. When I got everything returned I had the whole thing bedded and put together. So I ended up with a semi custom rifle with stock barrel and trigger that had a little work done to them, a new stock bedded 100% with zero pressure. A completely weather coated rifle that shoots a 160 grain accubond at 3,400 fps with a 1/2" group at 100 yards. After completion I topped it off with a Mark 4 Leupold 4.5X14X40MM with target knobs that I had in the safe. I sent off for Kenton turrets and now am shooting 850 yards with unbelievable accuracy. With the gunsmith work and all the parts it was about $800.

That is it Ron and Marianne Buehler. Write there number down and give them a call you won't be disappointed.

Leupold makes a great version of the expensive Mark 4 long range tactical and instead of the M1 knobs it comes with the regular 7/8" target knobs. This makes it about $500 cheaper. You can get a Mark 4 with the great glass and focus adjustment for about $625. It comes in a 4.5X14X40MM. It is the best scope you can buy for the money. When you look for it look under Mark 4 LR/T with the 7/8" target knobs instead of the M1.

+2 for the blood light. Got it for a present and is a piece of junk. Also any rechargeable spot light. They always last about 2 minutes and a 10 million candle power looks like a 10,000 candle power.

There is a husband and wife team that run a great butcher shop out of there house. They live over behind the airport. They have done a couple of animals for me and they do a tremendous job. All the sausage, burger, roasts and steaks were prepred perfect and all the meat has always tasted great. They are very fast and the packaging is great as well. There number is 928-474-5544. If Clay from Mogollon Taxidermy is reading he knows them very well. Great people. I would highly recomend them.

The double shooting stix is the only way to go. That was the only way I could stay steady on the buck I killed with you. Congrats on a great buck and what a great shot.

Great buck. Very well deserved! You have got to mount that thing so you can be reminded of such a great hunt every time you look at it.

Way to go master guide! Congrats to Randy that is a great buck!

I took my #1 huntin partner to help some friends of ours try and fill some deer tags rhis weekend. She had a great time out there. I have more fun with her than anyone else I have ever hunted with. Make sure you guys remember to take those kids out hunting with you. You definetly will never regret it and the kids will never forget it.

That thing turned out great! I see a lot of room on that wall for all the other big bucks to come. Going to be hard to top that one but I am positive you are going to do it. Just shoot the right buck this time !
