Yup, it's the passion of hunting and the outdoors shared by many like minded individuals. Group us all together and we get all crazy like. A lot of good people on this site, addicts but good.

I don't think Manny has permission from the hunter to post it on the WWW. He does have it displayed by a firearms case though for his customers to enjoy. (while it's there anyway)

Friends, Have any of you seen the monster coues rack from this season in Mexico? That thing is a BEAST! I recommend to go check it out while it's there. Manny (owner) told me he guided the hunter too.

The mass is awesome, so are the extra tines, the tine length, the blading, just unreal. I think I would do backflips if I ever shot a buck with that much character. Manny is doing a great job with the store. Best customer service I have ever received from an independent gun store, heck ANY gun shop!

That's a nice looking piece. I like the way the shed is included too.

I'm going to try and make it Amanda. A lot going on this weekend here in the valley it seems.

Congrats again buddy on scoring that hunt! Do me a favor and bring me back a bracelet from your bull tusker. I wasn't gonna say nothin', but I still have nightmares of when you missed that buck. j/k...I think you'll get yet ANOTHER shot at him and he'll be 5" BIGGER! & yeah...I'm jealous of that elephant hunt.

You will find answers to all your questions concerning coues deer hunting from reading the book "How to Hunt Coues Deer" available for purchase on this site. I highly recommend it, especially for someone n your circustance. A wealth of info in it's pages. Check the link: http://www.coueswhitetail.com/bookstore/books.htm

Congrats again Phil! Great buck and great pictures. I am happy you tagged a nice one and look forward to see what continues to come out of that ranch. I got your e-mail, I'll give you a holler tomorrow before I take off to Mississippi. Congrats to you guys again. (you guys need to smile more)

Very VERY nice! Looks like a great ranch.

It's been on my mind since we last saw him. Biggest coues I've ever had through my binos. I'm looking forward to seeing him hit the dirt. Scott, it was a pleasure bud. I like your style, ain't scared to try for the smack down & put the miles in.

Good luck Casey. Keep your head up and stay strong mentally. You already know you will be singled out but let it make you stronger. Whatever you do, never quit. We'll hold the fort down while you are away and I'll buy the brews after you pass buddy.

NICE!!!

Is this it??????

Hope you had a great one buddy.

Good write up. I have never used a trail cam and am envious of those that are successful with their use. The major factor in me not getting one are the thefts so prevalent with these things. The small size and great images from these Covert cameras has caught my eye. They seem to be easy to hide, now are they easy to use? I'm no "computer genius" by any means but do have common sense. I appreciate the time and effort you put into doing the review. I have been contemplating getting my feet wet.

Ain't that the truth!

Very VERY nice. Congrats!

That's a lot of "firsts"! Great of you to take the time to take such cool pictures also.

I want to chime in here and give my .02 cents. Duwane is undoubtedly the most helpful hunter I know. He genuinely wants everyone to be successful. He is a wealth of information and as nice a guy as you would want to meet. He has some longtime guides that are ABSOLUTE KILLERS of giant bucks. I have personally enjoyed his glassing lessons, full of tips and techniques that will make you more successful in the field. The most important lessons taught are where to look for deer and when to look for them at certain areas. He makes things simple and so easy to understand that they become "second nature". I have friends that have purchased his map service as well. He will give you areas to camp and hunt and gives you case scenarios that depend on weather. He hunts the same areas as well (successfully) so you can feel confident he isn't feeding you bogus info. Top notch camps with comfortable accomodations and food. These guys are consistent killers of giant bucks...period.

There is nothing better than enjoying that meal and remembering the hunt.

Tim, Cool, I'll give you a holler. I was going to get with you soon anyway since I need to get my big bore over to your buddy at Grizzly Custom Guns for some goodies. Yes, It has clips at the bottom already.

I am looking for someone that has the newer style Badlands pack that has the bow holder "clip on" that attaches to the bottom of the pack. I know they come with the new style 2200 units. The old packs don't have them and well, I want one. I was at an archery shop lately looking for one and they told me Badlands doesn't sell them separately? Thanks for your help!

Looks like they got my letter Keith. You're Welcome.
