None of the bucks off that ranch will be eligible for the record book right? If they are they shouldn't be. It's all about the (hunt) to me...Score is just a bonus. Paying for a farm raised deer in an enclosed area doesn't appeal to me at all. What happened to fair chase?

congratulations! Nice buck! I guess 105''

2006 Kawasaki Brute Force 650 4x4I, in exc. condition, runs great, stored indoors, has new rear storage box & gun scabbard, only 23 hours on it, still under factory warr., must sell, $6,500 obo.... Thanks

Welcome to the site...look for the biggest, nastiest canyons throughout the unit & glass the heck out of them, the bucks are there.... Good luck

Great job guys,What a beutiful buck! That's a trophy in my book, it's all about the experience. Great pictures too! Bret

It looks atleast 125''......what a beutiful buck, bonus find!!!!!

I like my knives of Alaska as well.... I carry the cub bear, & the alpha wolf. they hold a great edge & I have used both of them on everything from coues to moose. Outdoor edge are great too, I use these around the shop. My set came with a sharpener that is quick & easy to use. They didn't come with sheaths so I use mine for work. I like small pocket knives like buck, old timer, shrade, etc...For detail work such as caping out the head or skinning out paws & hooves.Only thing I don't like about these little lock blades is they're harder to keep clean than fixed blades. Also, these knives I mentioned are cheap & you can get them just about anywhere. I also use a scalpel like redman mentioned. You can get 100 replacement blades for around $30.00. But like shortpants said, you need to have a steady hand because they are extremely sharp!!! I like my knives of Alaska as well....

If anyone has a coues hunt coming up & shoots a (mature) buck but doesn't want to mount it, i will do antlers on a panel or a european mount/boil & bleach at 50% off with cape exchange... that is a$75.00 value.the cape needs to be in good shape,not cut short,not salted,& kept as cool as possible. thanks, azwtcrzy

Yes,I mounted that buck for Doug.You guys took 2 really nice bucks that year,& on the same day if I'm not mistaken.Thanks for the compliment....coues are my favorite critter to mount & hunt. Thanks,Bret

Thanks for the reply & good luck on your hunt. If you need any work done just send me an e-mail & we'll hook up. Thanks

hey everyone,I forgot to mention in my first post about coues capes, that I also need a few mature bull elk capes as well.I will take 50% off a antlers on panel or a european mount/boil & bleach with cape exchange, that's a $100.00 value.The capes need to be mature bulls in good condition,not cut short, not salted, and kept as cool as possible or frozen. Thanks, azwtcrzy

Thanks for the kind words jim. I thought it would take you a little longer than my (first) post to figure out it was me!!! i should have known better. I put that signature up after you replied, got ya!!! & no, your capes are fine. Bret

Not that I expect a mature buck, but where are you located? Can the cape be frozen? Redman Yes it can be frozen. Fold it up skin to skin, hair side out & wrap it up in a plastic bag as air tight as you can to prevent freezer burn. I'm a taxidermist out in surprise & need extra capes for customer mounts & I have a couple of racks I'd like to mount up for shop display. Good luck on your hunt Redman. azwtcrzy
