Well picked up my Wife's 2007 AZ Mulie (lower right) and my Boy's 2007 NM Mulie (upper left) from Clay @ Mogollon Taxidermy.... as always no complaints!! Clay did a great job on them! These two bucks are not very big.... but we needed some mulies on the wall and the capes on these bucks were great... they add a lot to the room. Here is one more pic of her buck on opening mornig with "the Boys".

Thanks to all that have posted, my family and I appreciate all the compliments. We are really enjoying the effect of finally have a couple of mulies on the wall. Good luck this weekend to all!!! I hope to be posting pics of a first archery deer for my Bride sometime this weekend!!! She is driving tacks out to 40 with broad heads.

I have lived with in 3 miles of this little tank for dang near 30 years... I have no intention on hunting somewhere else because some dude wants to stake a claim..... I have no problem sharing or getting beat in there, but be pushed, I will not. I have hunted shoulder to shoulder with friends and strangers.... and made friends of strangers in doing so.... however, it puts hair up on the back of my neck when someone tries to ride herd on a piece of country.... especially a piece of country in my back yard. Good luck to all.... may your arrows be Bloody by noon on Friday!!! And for the record..... we are not going to sit the tank with the sign on Friday.... but ol' HC might on Saturday... so I hope that feller huntin' that gound blind eats his Wheaties and packs a lunch..... he'll need both if plans to throw ol' Huntn coues a whoopin'!!! Great thread guys!! Thanks for posting on it I have enjoyed reading it!!

You should be alright until the Yotes get on it..... then you won't get another chance to kill. We had that happen on a spring last year on the elk hunt.... Those dang Yotes cost me a pretty good bull that was three steps from getting an arrow when those dirty dogs showed up!!!

I got those pics last night too, Jeremy..... those guys cleaned house up there.... 4 for 4!! I talked to DW this afternoon and got part of the stories.... sounds like a great time!! Congrats to the four of them!!! Ryan's buck is a Dandy!!!

Great clip, thanks for posting it! The field photo's are excelent as well! Congrats to Robert (and family)... hunts like that are memories that last a lifetime! Congrats to Jim and Matt for another job well done! I hate to point this out but the last 4 bulls that the Mullin's boys have helped drag out of that country have all been 400+ inchers!!!! That is Amazing!!! And, I believe these two Raffle bulls might be the largest 2 raffle bulls ever taken too boot!!!!!! Congrats to all..... What a Hunt!!!!

Nice bucks.... Getcha Some!!!! Shoot that buck with the trash.... you won't get much ground shrinkage on him! -
Thanks! That is just one of 3 (or 4) walls in my house (livingroom)..... My wife is the best! The more dead stuff on the wall the better she thinks it looks!!!

Excellent post, TAM... I agree 100%. I'd like to add something to it, but you pretty much said everything I wanted to!! Boys, I happen to be a "Card Carring Member" of the P&Y Club..... and so as you know, I have no problem with the fact that you are not. But, you gotta know that I am a member and I do support them, not just because I have legitimate trophies listed in thier ranks, but because they help in the fight to preserve this sport that I love. It is more than just legality.... I'm not a religious man, but I do my best not to take God's name in vain...... even though it is perfectly legal to do so.... I just choose to be better than that.... whenever I can, not that I am perfect... That I am NOT!!! Gino, kinda sounded like I was bashin the B&C and P&Y. Didn't mean to come across that way or sound disrespectful to a good orginization! They both do a lot of good out there for hunters, I choose to put my support in other orginizations like the NRA, and the Arizona Deer Association. I can't afford to support them all, but they all do good for our sport in there own way. My point was that I will not allow ANY person, group, or orginization to dictate where I should set my own personal standards. Including those groups that I do support financially or otherwise. It's awfully arrogant for anyone to hold me to there own set of standards. I will define what I consider "fair chase" and I will live by it, but I won't expect anyone else to. I have a couple legitimate animals that I could enter into P&Y, but I just don't care to. Not that I'm against entering them, it's just not my thing. Your point about choosing to be better than that is well taken. We should all be striving to become better people and better hunters. I still stand by my point that the law is the minimum bar for any code of ethics, but over time as we strive to become better perhaps our personal code of ethics will be increased a notch or two? JMO and It's probably not even worth .02 I think this one has run its course. I'm bowing out. Thanks Redbeard and everyone else for a enjoyable discussion! Thanks, Tim..... I totaly do agree with your last post thanks for clearing that up. And Jason, AZOnecam..... I also totally agree with what you posted! Regardless of which side of the fence you are on this has been a great thread..... Thanks to all who have posted thier POV and thanks for letting me post mine. BTW... Bobbyo..... if yu ever come across one of those "competing pics" like you mentioned with Randy holding a Mathews next to one of these monster mulies from Nevada..... please get it for me cuz I Want that photo!

Trail cam pictures
Coues 'n' Sheep replied to Coues 'n' Sheep's topic in Photography of Coues Deer and Other Wildlife
Sounds like that external hard drive might be the ticket!!! Might have to check in to that.... What do you do when it is full??? And how long would it take to get one all fulled up??? -
HAHaHa..... I know it is not you Mike..... for two reasons: 1) You would have put your name and Ph #..... 2) You would never build a ground blind on the almost up-wind side of water... Thanks for the responses. I sure hope some on here owns that sign..... it is not like I have my heart set on this spot for opening morning.... I would like to have it for a back up plan. My wife is not going to be picky she just wants a deer with a bow.. with a little luck she will be tagged out by noon on Friday at a water hole that I can't get a good and secure camera on. I'm thinkin' I will hang a Camera on a fence post while we hunt it.... ain't no one gunna steal it while we are in the blind with our bows! I am really stroked cuz this "plan A" water hole has a bear hitting it and the unit opens on Friday too!!! Please stay dry all week!!!!!

Guess How many posts in July
Coues 'n' Sheep replied to CouesWhitetail's topic in Contests and Giveaways!
3,333 is my guess.... hope no one else picked that I did not read the whole thread. -
Thanks everyone! My wife is so thrilled to have here latest buck on the wall and is really happy with the mount. Hopefully, next weekend she can have an oppoortunity at her first bow kill.... she has always been a rifle hunter and I have have been trying to get her to pick up the "stick and string" for years.... I am so stoked!!

Chris, You had me pretty interested in your last post... right up to the part above. It can not be argued that you try to hold yourself to a high (or higher) level of ethics than most guys. But, you and I both know that you pull your pants on one leg at a time just like the rest of us.... You have made and lost friends do to hunting or hunting pratices that may have been above or below your fellow hunter/friend's standards. Over time you have come into your own just as many of us have and live by "your rule book" just as each hunter does to some extent. But, to buttume that many use radios "for the purpose of taking game" is erroneous and kinda rude. I usually carry radios in my pack while hunting (rifle hunting).... but that does not mean that I use it for the purpose you consider radios for. And like you I carry a range finder.... that does not mean I actuall use it.... last year I ranged a bull for my buddies daughter using the paralax adjustment on my scope and she center punched him! Is that unaceptable???? And how about Pandora's Box..... shall we open it???? Do you carry a cell phone while in the woods??? Does that mean that you use in the taking of game? Does sitting in a ground blind or treestand ten plus hours board out of your mind and texting your buddies to pass the time count against you???? Can you hold a guy responsible or finger point at him based on intent??? Probably not..... I am not attacking you..... only stating a few points of interest considering the things we all do..... You started a barn burner thread...... ..... You have to take some heat when your standing in the kitchen! We can finger point to death... and devide our ranks all day long. This has been a great thread, and aside from a few emotional statements, we have all had very good points here and there... IMO. You are very correct in the statement that the record books draw a clear line in the sand.... if you want in, stay on the right side of the line! Many have no inerest in record books, that is obvious, but for those that do we can only hope that they carry thier ethics on thier sleeve. We, however, cannot deny the progress in technology.... and how it has changed our sport forever... it can and will never go back. Just as life in America, never, will be what is was 25, or 50, or 100 years ago.... that is human evolution.

Happy Birthday Dad!
Coues 'n' Sheep replied to little miss Huntn coues's topic in Non-hunting trip reports
Happy Birthday..... Ol' Man!!! What did you get..... a Treadmill or a walker?????? Have a great day my friend!!!!! -
Really this is where it is at.... bottom line. It is hunter envy..... we all want a 200", or a 120", or a 400" trophy on the wall. We can "what if" this to death... I bet that Randy would tell if asked, "Did you use a chute plane or radios to aid in the taking of that deer?" Maybe that is why they don't go in the book.... maybe it is cuz they are in velvet and only get printed once, maybe it is a lot of things..... Regardless.... that is a Great buck.... Congrats on another monster bow kill. For me there is one thing...... If I had 250-300+ days a year to dedicate to hunting and had all those resources and $$$$, it would be me you were reading about and B*t*hing about. I believe that given the chance, I could be the next Chuck Adams or Randy Ulmer... but I'm not bitter about that..... and if I ever win that Giganormous Loto I'll prove it!!!! And I bet that any one of you would love to have the life Randy leads.... hunting for a living.... I am very jealous of Randy's opportuny vs. mine..... but that is life..... and if he does or has breached a code of ethics to get that opportunity or keep that opportunity then he has to live with that, not me. I like going to sleep at night nowing that I got all my trophies the right way and I truely hope that he can say the same.... and if he can't.... well that is just bad Karma... IMO. Just my $.02....... BTW..... For the record..... I really HATE anyone who uses planes for the purpose of finding game.... ..... learning country durnig the summer months is one thing..... flying before or during hunts is just plain Chicken $h*t...... IMO. Get out there and EARN it!!!! Flying is Lazy..... just plain lazy.

Coues 'n' Sheep replied to sammacgan's topic in Photography of Coues Deer and Other Wildlife
Congrats on a great pic of a very nice buck!! The pic might be deceiving, but I will say that he will be in that 92"- 95" range..... Great buck! -
Jeff, I have a first rate guy in your favorite unit that will work his A$$ off for you! He is pretty well known for his bear and lion hunting and loves to have a few guys "on call" for cats that we come across while in the field. I'll give you a call or you can call me if you want his number.
