Coues 'n' Sheep

Congrats to both of you!

Wow! Oustanding bucks!! Congrats!

Congrats! Good lookin' bear! Was it a boar?

If you are into Berger 168 gr. VLD's or Balistic tip 150 gr. bullets for that 300 WBY, extreme coues or I can thow you a bone.... when you are ready. GH had great advice for you above... Mike, I need those books! extreme coues is my reloading partner and he is dang good at it, so I have cheated the whole reading thing.... but need to still get that done one of these days.... Best of luck!

Congrats on a Fantastic bull!! That is a Dandy bull from the "Hood"!! Hey ElkAddict.... Are you that guy that had the 2007 Super Raffle Bear Tag?

Great bucks and a great hunt... Congrats!

Um.. I think it is 45... ... Casey!

Coues7, If you don't mind carring a stonypoint tripod as well as your glassing tripod, this set up will be as solid as a shooting bench. Just lay the pistol grip down flat and us the polecat under the gun butt.... rock solid! Good luck!

Amazing Deer!

Great buck. Congrats!!

Have a good one!

+1!!!! Ya know.... I been thinkin' about this thread a bit, and the Carl painted a picture in that 1st post.... I guess he could have called me by name.... ... but, I am glad he didn't! Here is how I fit: I am 33 yrs old.... almost middle aged and.... Here is one of my tats.... Here is my Nut-Giggler, with custom break..... Difference is that My nut-giggler has helped 6 AZ public land critters hit the dirt in the last 11 months... 5 of which were for kids aged 11-17!!! Not to mention the previous half dozen kills it has.... But, I could easily be the guy you outlined in this post..... Thanks for the gut check, Carl.... I don't want to be exactly like those guys.... Ever!!! We have all seen them.... I think we call them Posers!!! They are the guys that spray the hills with lead when hunting, because hunting and shooting off a bench are two very different things!

Congrats on lyour success! Welcome aboard!

No doubt!!! Congrats!! What a great day and another great chapter in, what appears to be a long and illustrious hunting career! You are an inspiration..... Thanks for sharing!

Congrats Kayln! Congrats to you as well Seth! She is a chip off the ol' block!!! That is a Fantastic first deer!! Again, Congrats, what a special time for you both!

Dang! That is getting it done, right there!! Congrats!!

+1!!!!

TJ, All I can say is AMAZING! You must be living right or something, that is good fortune, right there!! Absolutly Awesome buck and a great cat, too!!!! Congrats!! Not too bad for an old fart!

Hey all... Can't say enough about Clay's work! The double coues pedestal in pic #5 is one of a dozen mounts that Clay has put in our home. That mount is a Dec rifle coues my wife took and my Arrchery coues that I took 3 weeks later in Jan.... we have many memories imortalized on our walls thanks to Clay's good work.... You can find cheaper, but you will not get Clay's kind of work for less money! I would feel bad if I did not honor our trophies with quality artistry... and it does allow the memories to be as vivid when the mount does not look alive or real on the wall. Thanks Clay! BTW.... Clay I know you are a "lurker" and will read what I just wrote.... you know I meant it.... but I do need a 10% (or 25%) Coupon... cuz Colton just shot a Monster coues in NM!

Im sorry to hear the antler were cut off but i am also sorry to hear all the lead flung. It was hard to focus on the story with all the lead flying around in my head. I dont know how i could shoot all those times let alone bed the buck and leave... Just my .02 Well said, Cory... ditto Ditto... er....go I might say thing I really mean....

dang, Scotty...... All that I can say is " Sorry".... but that doesn't express my thoughts or my real feelings.... words can't do or say enough. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family in this time of need.

My boy is headed to NM in the Morning.... hope he smokes a Biggun'!!!!

Were you able get right above that hole that bull fell in? I am sure that pics do not show off how bad it was. Bummer deal... It is every sheep hunters nightmare to have a ram fall in a bad spot that cannot be reached. A couple of years ago I was guiding a sheep hunt in 15D and heard that one of the other hunters had to get AZGF and some repelling help to retreive his ram. I assume you had the unit WM involved in your decision to not recover the animal. Sorry it turned out that way....

Nice! Details?

My advice...... Keep the bino's.... sell the wife! Well.... it could work.....
