Who hunts coues with a 30-06
Elkhunter1 replied to ultramag's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
My dad has used his O3A3 from when I can remember, the 70's. He has killed Coues, Mulley's, Bears, and Elk all with a 130 Grn Hornady hand loaded round. SHOOT, SHOOT, SHOOT and when you think your done SHOOT some more, you will do fine!!! -
Hit list done. Now all I need is the coordinates. HaHa. Great pics, great spots, great BULLS.

Are NAP Bloodrunner heads any good? - Here are my test results
Elkhunter1 replied to Viper's topic in Bows, arrows, broadheads
"The Swhacker would be the only head I would use that is a jack knifing style head as it open inside the cavity and stays on track but IMO the entrance hole is too darn small. Quartering away shot into an elk far shoulder and your blood trail would be zilch." Quote from GBA Like what every body else has said shot placement is key, but I also think that the BH that will penetrate and open on the quartering shot should be in you arsenal. I truly believe the Swhacker is that head. Case in point: this buck was walking slightly quartering away and the shooter was in a tree stand. Yes the shot wasn't the best but look at the hole! This pic shows my brothers buck. I watched the shot through my 10x50's at 120 yards. The buck stopped as my brother released and he was barley hit in the neck. He ran only 35 yards with a solid blood trail. Now as far a BIG animals are concerned this bull didn't have a chance! Now I can't make anyone try the BH, all I can ask is that you shoot it and see for your self. -
AZLance is right on the money!!! Any body can ask any question, the uniform also doesn't mean you need to correctly answer it. (depending on the question) Remember you have the right to remain silent.

A bakers dozen, don't get much better than that. Except when your arrow center punches the big boy!!!

Anything OLD you find during your scouting or hunting trips. On my trips I have found old door locks, hinges, mining stuff, and one old U.S. Cavalry belt buckle. Adding stuff like that shows the heritage of hunting and the hardship of settling this land.

Snapshot I'll sign it for you haha

Even after a bad day at work all I have to do is read a couple of posts here and LMAO!!! Thanks guys.
-
80, but I know guys that can and do kill out to 120 with them. Olympic style shooting back in the day with long bows was 90 meters.
-
Absolutely not that will result in what happened to me last year. The broadhead opened at release and I lost the biggest Coues I have ever seen let alone shot at. Even if the band is a little loose that is fine as long as it stays in the groove.
-
Sorry I just got home from work, I can see you have had a good day so far. Hope it's all good. (better late than never) HaHa! A big toast to YOU!
-
Are you referring to Swhacker broadheads? If you are the bands are made of shrink tubbing, all you need to do is heat them up to tighten on the head.

Great Days!

my boy is 11 and he is getting into the scouting thing. -
LOOKING GOOD!!!!!

You could try sitting one of the transition lanes between the feeding and bedding areas until around 10AM, and vise versa in the evenings until dark. I killed two Bulls that way. Do plenty of scouting to find the lanes. Good luck!

I know from past loved and lost, that was the hardest most loving thing you did. Your tribute and marker show how loved she was and will continue to be. Our hearts are with you and Peg. May Gods light shine on you both.

Elkhunter1 replied to AZHUNTER05's topic in Bows, arrows, broadheads
I would be willing to buy your Bitzenburger jig if you get a new one and it is a rt helical. PM me if you are going to. thx -
A ton of years ago my dad, brother and I hunted hogs near the Grey ranch, saw a lot of hogs even got one. If the timing is right I would like to tag along.
-
No that would be BOOT prints!! HA HA

One day you might be 75 years old and still want to hunt or take your grandchild hunting. Just a thought. There will come a day when I will no longer hunt!!! Then I will have to beg for a hunk of venison! Even now I welcome help when I have a animal down meanwhile while waiting for old age to set in I will quater & pack & help others to do so when asked! Can't argue witth any of these comments.

Nope all of the shots were at distance. It has great zoom capabilities. I haven't really scouted yet!
