Nice finds! That 5x mulie would be nice to find on the fall hunt.

That's totally cool! Huge congrats getting one with a bow! Extra nice that you had your son with you to share the experience.

Awesome set - good job finding the other side.

Great recap of your awesome Goulds turkey hunt Peg! Wow, that was the most epic miss story I've ever heard - had me laughing out loud as I read it. What a video that would have made! That Ranch looks beautiful and looks like a great time was had by all. Thanks for sharing your hunt with us and congratulations!

Oh come on TJ, that's emBEARrasing!

A few years ago, we were boat camped at Apache Lake, next thing we know, the Sheriff came by boat to tell us (and everyone else not in the designated campgrounds) that the forest was closed and we either had to leave or move to the campground, no one allowed on shoreline. We ended up living on our pontoon boat. He came back by and was angry I had tied a rope to a tree, made me remove it and reminded me not to be/go on shore.

WOW! No wonder I can't find any sheds.....they're all right there! I've got to go to that next time. Amazing.

Congrats man! That's awesome.

I know! I saw that amazing video today too. Way cool event (the hero cat, not the dog attack). I like both dogs and cats, but that dog has to go away forever IMO.

That's an awesome story of a great hunt! Nice pictures too. Congratulations to Jaycie on her first turkey. Double beard? COOL! Lookout for the payback on that shell swap!

Very nice pictures and nice of you to help out other hunters. I bet that was exciting being that close to your prey!

My condolences to you and yours on the loss of your Father. Touching poem honoring him.

Great write up and an awesome time with your family. Love those close encounters with turkeys. Thanks for posting about your hunt.

I posted a similar question in the sheep forum - didn't want anyone to think I was having a brain fade. What's it take to get a tag? I know it varies, anyone could get lucky with minimal points, so looking for thoughts about it. I have 13 points for the next draw. I have been putting in for units 10 and 7, not necessarily in that order. Let's hear it boys and girls. I want an Arizona antelope hunt!

Nice! Great to see the family enjoying an outing together.

New to muzzleloader hunting. I'm shooting a 50 cal CVA Accura II and have been using the Powerbelt Platinum 270 grain bullets. Using 3 50gr pellets of whitehots. For those who have hunted coues with a muzzleloader, is this a good combo? What have you been using? I guess it could go without saying, but isn't this going to blow the heck out of a coues deer? Thanks in advance for any input/advice.

Very cool buck and find! Looks like you're dialing in on him. Very symmetrical with lots of mass.

Yes, wow! Looks like you found a shed from that big guy too. Stud buck for sure. So, what was the story on that hunt? Did you tape him out? Would like to hear about it.

I got 1 of 6 NR tags for a muzzleloader coues hunt! This is my 3rd coues hunt in NM, the first 2 I never saw a buck. Can anyone help out with where to find some coues in unit 23? One of my prior hunts someone suggested the Whiterocks near Alma. I hunted 4 days there and never saw any deer, let alone a coues deer. Maybe I wasn't in the right area? I moved camp to Harden Cienega, North of Mule Creek. I met the rancher and he said there weren't many WT around, but look around the San Francisco river canyon. I hunted there a couple of more days and did see a couple of coues does, but that was it. So, can anyone help out with some suggestions? Thanks in advance!

Congratulations to Peg and Amanda! Those are great photos and looks like you were on a beautiful ranch. I can't wait to hear their hunt stories. Thanks for sharing TJ.

Very unique deer and an awesome mount! Ever see/hear of one like that before? Where was it taken at (if you can tell us)?

Huge Congratulations to Mom and Dad!

Very interesting to see then vs now. Awesome that the grandson had it redone. You did a phenomenal job on the mount.

Congratulations on your first turkey! Good job getting him down and great recap of your hunt. You are now hooked for life!
