Beautiful buck Lance! -
Another great hunt with family and friends.
singleshot replied to cramerhunts's topic in Rifle hunting for Coues Deer
Both of those bucks are awesome. I really enjoyed your video recap of the adventure. Can't beat a December hunt and you guys sure made the best of it all the way around. -
Lets hear it. Darwan'ism rises to the top. Watched a perfect 3 point with brows taken in 31 that would fit in a soup bowl. Yearling buck.

Carmen mt. whitetail. Only diminutive species there is. Like Ben Brown says monsters and minis in every race. Killed a 115 plus in late January in 29. Maybe 70 pounds dressed. Old? The rut? He was just a small bodied deer.

If you are wanting a larger caliber looking at a Rem. 700 BDL tomorrow night in 7MM mag. Left handed from the late 70's early 80's. Probably be able to pass along a Face to Face good buy.

That LCR in 22 mag shooting solids is a nice pistol. No hammer, no safety, just pull the trigger.

Sweet Video. Gave me an Idea of something to make at work this morning.

Willing to give away a Baldwin Piano to anybody who wants to pick it up. Donate $25 to this site and it's yours. Could use a tuning but plays just fine as it sits. Good overall condition and the price is right. Located in Safford, bring your own manpower, it's heavy.

Sounds like a great adventure! If you ever get another bullet stuck and only the case extracts dump out some of the powder, re-chamber the extracted case with the barrel facing up so you don't lose any more powder and fire it off in a safe direction. Check to make sure the bullet cleared the barrel. A lot of times even a primer will send the bullet out. Its better to keep at least half a case full though to make sure. I would only do this though if I knew for sure that the bullet is stuck in the lands, not mid barrel. Tap the rest of your rounds bullet first on the sole of your boot to seat them a couple more thousandths and hunt on.

Cool video, looks like the beginnings of a huge fire in the background.

Performance of solid copper ammo or lack of
singleshot replied to apache12's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
Most of these long range guys are using bullets made for target shooting, not the solid copper variety. They seem to be able to punish everything that walks with them at a 1000 yards. Hit a bull or buck high in the shoulders with a ttsx, xxx or whatever, high in the shoulders with a over the counter Walmart stocked Corelokt or Power Point and he is done. End of story. Bison were nearly exterminated using solid lead bullets. Coues deer? Any 80 grain bullet in the front third of the body and you should find him dead, or on the verge of. -
That was a great video and write up. I really liked where you state that your personal goal was a 360 inch or better bull. Yourself, having walked up on some of the biggest bulls ever taken in the world it really puts it into perspective at just how nice a 360 inch bull really is. Congratulations.

What appears to be written here often though is that "Dad ranges the animal. Dad dials in the scope, Dad gets the rifle locked in the claw and tripod and junior reaches over and pulls the trigger." Even some of the outfitters on here have done write ups about setting up clients for the "shot". Myself and my children carry rifles equipped with bipod's so I can appreciate the mechanical advantage, but some of this stuff is robotic.

On my bucket list is to kill a Coues with my grandpa's model 14 in 30 Remington. I didn't have access to it this year but did carry my H&R Buffalo Classic in 45-70 out for a day. I couldn't see over a hundred yards anyway and felt very confident with the iron sights. I have read a lot of stories on this site of young hunters making tremendous long range shots using the "CLAW" with the buttstock rested on a tripod and thats great, but what happens if you don't get that opportunity to set up? Will they have the skills to make a running shot? I own a nice rifle and it wears a good scope, someday I want to get it set up with turrets and increase my range. But…. the last Coues I killed, the one in my avatar came out at my feet on a knife edged ridge, flat getting out, and he was dead inside fifty yards. There has been a lot of those, mostly before I got good glass. A few years back I threw a rock off a bluff into some brush on a very windy day and a nice three point came boiling out at 15 yards. As always he had bedded to escape quick if need be. My then 18 year old son smoked him with his 6.5 Swede topped with a 60 year old Weaver K4 scope. It was an excellent snap shot on a buck running full out. I knew then that he had instinct. IMO the "claw" and such takes away some of that.
