Coues 'n' Sheep

Jeremy you are a Krazy SOB!! Canoes????? Make sure to portage the falls.... We did that float one time with my Bro-in-law, who is a very experienced river rafter and it was a fun, but cold day trip. I was plumb froze by the time we got to the Hot Springs.... I wanted in that warm water so bad that I didn't even give a rip about all the nasty naked Hippies everywhere! Things that make you Baaaahhhh! Anyhow, we shot the falls in my Bro-in-law's raft and it was the funnest part of the day! Some of our group did not try it, they got out and walked/ lead thier raft, and I thought one raft flipped that day, but I'm not sure if it was from our group or some other group... it was several years ago. If you guys have never done that sort of thing on that river you may want to guinea pig yourselves and not take your kids the first time.... I'd be spooked to run a canoe on that stetch anyhow..... but that is just me.... G

If you find the right gunsmith it is much cheaper and just as effective to work on your stock trigger.... atleast it was on my Weatherby. I like it better than my buddy's Timney Trigger.... I have had that trigger "lightened-up" twice now and only have about half the cost of a Timney invested. Just my $.02! CnS

Not if they read any of my comments on here! Thanks everyone. HaHa Well happy B-day anyhow!!!!! CnS

I know many of you are not "record book" or "numbers" fans.... .... But I pose this question..... Have any of you ever thought that SCI "Master" measurers were a JOKE??? I have always been around B&C or P&Y Measurers.... and have learned a lot from them about how to score... and learn a bit more every year. Today SCI had a booth at Cabela's. We drove over to have my buddy's Coues buck "Officially" scored and it was my first time seeing how the SCI fellers do thier thing. They were all very nice guys and the people from Cabela's were awesome, too. They posed and snapped Photos of the horns and my Buddy. But, the scoring part was a JOKE.....IMO. There were 4 guys, 2 very profesional looking SCI guys and 2 Cabela's employees. First, the Cabela's guys grab the horns and go to "work"... and one of the SCI guys gives them a couple of "pointers" on how they should score the questionable spots of this Non-typical. As they are scoring I notice that they ignore the advice of the other guy and do the opposite..... stripping the buck of about 1/2"-3/4" of horn based on the SCI no deduct method. Then when they tell us the total score (and it was BIG)... I thought, Hmmmm, that thing Shrunk a bunch! I happened to pick up the horns and saw where many of their pencil marks were at the "base" of the points and questioned their straight line. They told me that the marks are "subjective" and that since they always "round up" the sixteenth's that, it really evens out in the end. I was Blown away!!! I thought these were "worldly" and "kind of on a pedistal" because that is what SCI advertises. This buck is a top 20 SCI all time N/T entry and a new #1 SCI N/T archery coues and they tell me that it evens out their mistakes!!! Anyhow I am posting a couple of quick snap shots that show what I see as some of the Eighths & Quarters that are missing from his final score. In a saving grace SCI allows you to have a Re-score and he plans to do so. I'd love to hear if you guys think I'm wrong, but I think that this buck was robbed of an inch and probably more on the "official" score and on a Coues deer an inch is a Bunch..... I have nothing to gain by venting about this or questioning their score, but it did dissapoint me and kind make me mad for my buddy's sake. Thanks, CnS

Ya know I was just on the IPB portal and a "guest" was printing a topic..... Bet they are gunna use what they printed against hunters in some way......

Thanks muledeerarea33 for the PM and for your intrest as well Matt. The price on this gun NIB is going to be $300 obo.

2 MSA tickets and a Rhino ticket and it be yours my brother!!

BahHaHaHaHaHaHa.... Yep... and the next one will be White!!! LMAO!!!! I'd have waved if I had known it was you.... But my luck it would have been someone's wife visiting from out of town and thought I was being , too friendly!! And your dang windows are so frickin' dark!!! I'm sure I'll reconizize that Grey truck next time I see it!!

Black tool box in the back????? Come on that looked pretty grey to me!!! Maybe I only see things well that are grey.....

Burn him at the stake!!!! Casey you do make a valent point, but an unreasonable one. Because if You, GH, TJ, and extreme coues were sitting around a campfire with ten other members it would be safe to asume that the other members would be content to sitback, drink a toddy and watch the fireworks/listen to the bable..... .... no one would get a word in edgewise! And besides, family members are eligable for prizes as well as any member, the contest is designed to include more members, not exclude them..... There are now over 2400 members to this site.... how fun to be competing on a playing field that Big!!! Sorry guys... I just had to through someone under the bus with Casey..... and you all were the first to come to mind!!!! Dirk D.

Way earlier in this thread it was stated that hunter opinion wouldn't matter. Is this correct? More or less.... reguardless who wants to argue it ..... yes, we will not have any say in the final outcome. Possibly a "token" input session, but the matter is really not up for dispute and will rather be treated as a resolution of (what AZGF views as) a major problem. CnS

Here is a pic of the Mark III that I built for "plinkin". We shall see if I can shoot it long range as well as it should be shot....

I like the photo essay, idea...... There are some people on here that put together amazing photo-recaps of thier hunts it would be tons of fun!

YH, - I thought nerf darts were legal fun? AzP&Y Is that an inside joke, AzP&Y??

You going to the MSA??? going to try Squeek...Squeek....Squeek.... The only time you don't Squeek is when you sleep!!!!

I saw one, too!!!! It was a dark Grey F-150 w/ a large, brown CouesWhitetail.Com sticker in the window. It turned on Airport Rd. in Payson as I was passing through town.....

Thank You, Amanda!!!!! (I) We are Grateful!!!!

As probably would I but the SCI would be at the bottom of the list by far. Well the 60 days is not up for the other books and all "Record Books" are important historically.... IMO.

What happend to SW??? Thought you would be there forever...... Awe... just go get a loan..... it is the American way. No worries Chrissy... someone will buy it soon!

That mean Scopes too, Lance?????

You need it..... Don't be hater cuz of the preeeaty color! It attracts big game!!!

WOW!!! I'd send it back, too!!!!! Congrats on the new gun! CnS

Still for sale.... I've had a couple of local guys say they want it but no $$$$..... figures, eh...... It needs a new home so I can get this other truck bought!!!! Comes with an almost new CouesWhiteTail.com sticker on the headache rack!

I've got a NIB Savage 110 in a 30-06 that I'd sell if your interested..... send me a PM. CnS SOLD!!! Thanks BML for the hook up!
