Good points. I am also pumped about being able to hunt there with a bow. We'll also be able to hunt 8 and 9 in January. There's the silver lining! There will be some big ol' bucks prancin' around in January, thinkin' they are safe like they always have been........and WHACK.....my arrow slips through their ribs!!! I wouldn't mind that at all! I still don't like changes of any kind though, but I didn't go to the meetings and speak up, so I wouldn't feel right complainin'! JIM>

Nope......you are in the right place! There is nothing wrong with a good healthy debate, just as long as it's tactful and respectful. Thanks guys for your cooperation, it's much appreciated JIM>

There is absolutely no favoritism..........you know exactly why I deleted your post! I have been deleting the bad words up to that point but you took it too far. I would appreciate it if everyone would be a little more careful in their wording, and if not.... keep it private, or it will get deleted! Thanks, JIM>

HEY... I happen to like doves.. thank you. MMMM, flying poo... That's hilarious!!!! I can't stop laughing

Congrats to Jared on the Trophy Jack! I can't wait till my nephews are old enough!!! JIM>

Awesome buck and Great photo!!! JIM>

That's awesome! You can see it in his face he's very proud! Great job helping a friend out as well Bownut!! JIM>

One of these days I will post a topic with the same heading as yours! Great job on a beautiful buck, congrats!!! JIM>

Thanks for sharing the awesome pic's.....and best of luck to your wife! JIM>

Well it's drivin' me nuts and nobody else is sayin' it.............TJ....tell your buddy that just because he tagged his Turkey on the leg, doesn't mean that's where it goes on a buck I am still in shock at what your buddy got to experience.........I would bet ( as long as TJ doesn't help anymore ) that this guy will appreciate this deer and what he's done ALOT more in the future after some NORMAL Coues hunts and REALITY settles in!!! THAT is an archery buck of a lifetime and I'm having a heck of a time gettin' over my jealousy........but I am happy as heck for the hunter as well.....Great job on an absolutely magnificent critter!!! JIM>

There you go.......I just put yer first pic back up now that it's back from the "cleaners" Congrats again to you..........oops.....I mean to yer buddy! Just kidding.....get those "hero" pics up......we want to see em'! And seriously congrats to yer buddy! JIM>

Beautiful buck!!Congrats! JIM>

Hey Casey, slap this pic in place of that first one and send me the other one that you took off.....I'll clean it up as well. This one wasn't bad at all, but that other one was a little crazy Thanks for being respectful and thinking of others dude

No Freakin' WAY!!! THAT IS A STUD!!!!! WAY TO GO!!!!!!!! I am sooo jealous it's not even funny Huge congrats!!!!

I'm an Ocotillo man myself......but I love the "fairly" open hillsides with Oak or Mesquite and some Ocotillo's mixed in for good measure As far as elevation, I like the lower stuff but I am not kidding I saw Whities last week at less than 200" elevation and they grow em' big down there! JIM>

Congrats to your friend Casey! That is a purdy archery buck! Did you get any other pic's.......or did ya just throw em' in the truck and run to the dove huntin' spot before it got too late

That is great to hear about the bucks in our "backyard" Keep tabs on 'em for the future, but nobody should hunt them until the late hunt or the draw hunts....archery is closed in that unit on the first season. Thanks for the update on the deer herds around there! JIM>

Hey Doug, you forgot to add one more vegetation type............ JUNGLE! I found where Coues actually live in the jungle last week! I think that would fall under: "Which vegetation type do you like the LEAST!" JIM>

Way to go Lance!!! I love the double prong character he's got.......one-of-a-kind buck! Great story and fantastic trophy! JIM>

Alright.........122 2/8" I always go less on spread to be fair and this buck is probably more like 14" wide, so he may have been 123 and change.....but who cares...what a stud typical!!! There were quite a few sheds on this ranch that had the same characteristics and size of this buck.......pretty exciting! JIM>

I'd have to agree

awesome job to you AZ and your B.I.L.! What a beautiful ram! Thanks for sharin', JIM>

Just for size reference..........the G2 on the bucks right antler is 10 3/8" long! Longest G2 I've ever taped......also that and the beam lengths are the only measurements I can remember exactly aside from the total gross score. JIM>

Thanks GH, that Dirk D. feller is one sneaky dude for sure..........I've got my trigger finger coverin' the "delete" button in case he pops up!

the "hall monitor" is back.......but what is wrong with a pic of a guy telling the camera he's #1.......or is he just showin' off a pair of trophy boogers he just plucked? BTW.......if anyone has any concerns with any content on this site please PM either coueshunter or myself and it will be addressed. Thanks, JIM>
