Congrats on an awesome buck! Seeing him in these pictures it seems crazy you passed on him two times prior. What a stud coues!

I have this same rifle in 6.5 PRC and it has been an absolute lights out shooter right out of the box. After break in and a little over 100 rounds down the barrel and it’s like it’s getting even better. I’m surprised someone hasn’t jumped on this yet.

Weird, says I’m only using 7% of my inbox space 🤷🏼‍♂️ Either way, I cleared out a few message threads.

I recently lucked into this tag too, not sure who would turn this tag in on a great moisture year. Sent you a pm.

So, if you’re still on the forum, how did this hunt turn out?

Love my two Standard Poodles! Great all around dogs, and great for families.

I agree. I have the 773 and it is definitely an underrated spotting scope.

Raise your hand if before today you knew there was a college named Dallas Baptist. You won the PAC 12 and then got beat on your home field by GCU and Dallas Baptist. Now we’ll just have to hear “hOw DiD aSU do?” If that’s the best you got, you might as well just shut it. As a whole, both schools have given plenty to be embarrassed about recently.

I guess that’s the main difference for me. I love to branch out and see new country. Always curious what’s over the next hill.

I have found more big bucks in late February than any other time of year. I try to get out as much as possible in February and March. Weather is nice, deer hunts are over, mostly post rut, bucks still have antlers, etc. If I find a nice buck in March I know he will be there in the Fall, at least that’s how it has always gone for me. My main problem, and not really a problem, is I have 4 boys, 2 of them teenagers, and it seems every weekend is dedicated to sports. I try not to miss any games. I can never get out in the hills as much as I want to. I’ve got a handful of spots marked that I want to check out, but it’s already gotten too hot until this coming Fall. When I am looking for new spots I look for areas that are a little more off the beaten path and harder to get to. That weeds out 95% of hunters.

Man, this is the ultimate set up, but I’m in the same boat as you guys.

I am a resident and have exactly 16 bonus points. My plan has been to only put in for 23N & 23S early archery bull until I draw. I should only be a few years out. I'm kinda curious to hear what your plan is though 😁
