Coues 'n' Sheep

I have the STS65 HD..... it is as clear as the standard 80 IMO.... I really prefir carring the 65 over the old 80 mm Swaro I had before. Spend the money for the HD and you will like the 65 just fine.... FYI.... The Zeiss 85 has a camera made by Ziess that mounts in place of the eye piece an it takes the best pictures!!!! Good Luck! CnS

Congrats, and Welcome!

It is an amazing bull... alive. Any hunter that would take pride in hunting and shooting a Farm Raised bull is a Putts.... There is NO pride in that... just a kill. No different than going on a Buffalo hunt in NM for meat (On a Pen Raised Ranch) and shooting one that is big and being proud of your accomplishment. The only thing that guy accomplished IMO is putting some REALLY high $$$ steaks on his table! Sorry.... I had to say it. High Fence is High Fence.... That makes it nothing more that a meat hunt.

Yeah, like score on that dandy buck??? Congrats to all.

Congrats on the dog! I love that Camo Job!!!! How did you do that?? FYI... don't set that sucker on the ground and expect to find it again!! You ain't gettin' me on no Motor-Cickle!!

IMO..... Tim...... The 168 will do all you need here in the States.... and 300 RUM is not overkill.... it is a consistant flat shooting gun.... Good Luck with it!! However, You will want a solid bullet like a Barnes or Tropy Bonded 180+ grain bullet for the big/thick hided animals of the North (Griz) or of Africa.

Tim, I started hunting with them last year as part of my longrange set up. We tested the 168 VLD and several other bullets out of my 300 Wby Mag. The VLD's gave me the best group every time. We shot that gun on both of Huntn coues's daughter's (HC1 & HC2)bulls in December. Amazing results.... both one shot kills.... animals expire within feet of impact. One shot destroyed 6" of spine and the other turned all the vital organs into a protein shake! Very little loss of meat due to bloodshot..... almost none. The spine shot did loose some meat as it made a good size (as advertised) wound channel right infront of the shoulder almost all the damage was between the hide.....no damage to the cape. The Cavity shot entered behind the shoulder and did amazing internal damage but NO external damage..... All of the bullet fragments and all the energy remained in the cavity... I was amazed....never seen anything like it. I am going to try to get the girls to shoot it again on there pig hunts to see how they do on a smaller animal.... I called and talked to the guys that recomend these bullets and shared my exact results..... their reponse was that they performed Exactly as they want and as they advertise..... They don't want 98% bullet retention, but rather 98% bullet desintegration and energy tranfer inside the animal. I was amazed at how little meat was lost with this kind of bullet.... but I have not shot a coues or anything smaller with them yet.... Gino

Nice buck! Congrats!!! You have have flat slayin' the deer!! Way to go!

Thanks for letting me hold those Sweet Racks you guys brought home from Ol' Mexico, Jason!! That biggun' Is B-E-A-utifull! Congrats!!

Here's one from Monday looking out my office window.... Not Roosevelt... but it was nice to get the snow....

I picked my Euro Mount up from Gary Iles today..... Thanks, Gary!! And I just got it put up on my office wall..... ahhhh.... I feel so much better now!

With Ty's mug in that photo I'm surprised the Camera didn't Break!! Not to mention, Moose....

I know his Grandpa! I hear that boy is a heck of a good hunter already!

You had to be smokin' somethin' on that trip! That ram was not nearly as nice as the one you shot. But, I am very proud of the fact that you took my maps and went right to the spot I pointed out to you and you found sheep right away! That proves my point about what a good hunter you are and how hard you worked for your ram! Awww... Come on, Buddy....I know you would dive off of that with me again if there was a dandy Ram layin' at the bottom!!! That first hundred feet was not that bad.... You did great coming down off that canyon side! You were a real trooper that day.... most guys would have quit before we got to those sheep... not to mention what I put you through from the time you shot untill we got back to camp 3 1/2 hours after dark that night. This is me, tippin' my hat to you, Buddy! Congrats, Eric!!! You harvested a Great Nelsoni Ram and you have Great Memories to go with your "Hunt Of A Lifetime"!!! I have got to give a Huge Thanks to our fellow hunters Bob Price and Brad Fulk!! They gave up over a half day of Mule Deer hunting on The Strip to help us pack that ram out of a wicked piece of country! Thank You for your help and kindness! CnS

Hey I will put a hint out there.... depending on what type of keyboard you own it will probably fit or almost fit inside his rack at the widest point!!

Oh boy! I think I read somewhere that Helen Keller used Steiners....

I think that is the smartest thing I have heard from you in about 12 months That is because you Never listen when I talk! Thats because when you talk nobody has enough time to listen That is sooo, not my problem!!

Love the new Avitar, Buddy! That is Sa-Weet!!!

I think that is the smartest thing I have heard from you in about 12 months That is because you Never listen when I talk!

I have to send out a big congrats to Eric's Dad (Tom). Great buck for an outstanding guy!!! Got to meet him on Eric's sheep hunt and he is one cool dude and one HELLUVA Cook!!! I conned him into helping with the Dinner cooking cuz he does a way better job than me!! Thanks Tom and Congrats!!!!

They don't..... Mike just likes how that big dollar amount roles off the keyboard. If there wasn't 4 foot of snow out there I would go get my camera out of the truck and line up what Troy could only hope for Then I would email the picture to him every day for the rest of his life How many Swaros do you own Troy Boy Oh yea, did I say Bla Bla Bla Bla.......

I thought he packed on a few pounds???? All that good food and rest in Mexico will do that! Might just be that the camera added 10 lbs. to him though..... Congrats on the birds, Casey! That is a good day of huntin' right there!!

They don't..... Mike just likes how that big dollar amount roles off the keyboard.

Congrats to you both!! Something really special about the first one!!!

Not that it is any of my business..... but I'd like to know why you are selling the bow. Looks in good shape..... how long has that string been on it? Has it ever been dry fired? And do you/have you shot it a bunch? Thanks, CnS
