Coues 'n' Sheep

Congrats to your Dad on that sheep tag!!

I'm startin' to think that your following me, TJ....... Your welcome to camp at my place in Young on that Deer hunt.... we will all be there too.

Whooooooo HOOOOOOOO!!! I drew a Oct. Whit Tail tag in 23!!!!!! & My wife drew 19A Mulie!!!

He did get his first choice in tags........ 22 S. HAPPY B-DAY TOM!!!!!!!! Don't have to much fun today...... it will lead to a hangover tomorrow!!!

It is a slow dn load..... So the delayed expansion is the same at long and short range????

I will test them at short range too....

I thought the VLD was suppose to be very stable.... and accurate???

I am gunna run some TSX 180 gr. test loads too. And 180 gr Spitzers...

Doug, I bought some 165 gr. to load up for my 300 Wby mag....... What do you think?? Good or bad idea???

That is some good stuff... Thanks for sharing. Were you taking those through a scope?

Nice Jimbo! I also missed that the first time...... I'm praying for that October 'Tail tag now!!!

YEAH!!!! That is what I'm talkin' bout!!! That is one Sweet side rack!! Thanks for sharing! Oh yeah.... BTW.... I too would like to see all of that coues deer on the wall.

Dang! GH.... did you really make Linnea pack that big ol' bear out of the woods for you???

Thanks TJ.... I am sure she will be glad to hear that he migrated so far and is doing so well.....

I found these pics the other day digging for old hunting pics..... and thought I would post them......and they would not make much sense with out a little story with them......... Some years ago, our son, Colton was riding one of the quads down an old 2 track near our house... He came across a new born grey squirrel, with no hair and his eyes still shut. He must have just fallen out of the nest. Being the conservationist that he is.... he brought the lil' rat home. My wife fed this baby squirrel every 2 hours, around the clock for weeks with a syringe and cat formula....... and it lived. It grew very quickly and although it was very tame to us it was also very wild. I have never seen anything with sooo much natural instinct of its wild identity.... We could not "train' it like you would a cat or a dog..... it was just too wild. It knew nothing of how to be a squirrel, yet is was a wild squirrel living in my house!! You would walk in the front door and he would run across the room at you and climb you like a tree, coming to pirch upon your shoulder..... We would walk the dogs around the neighborhood and he would tag along running up and down and around my body to get a good veiw of everything or just ride along on my shoulder. He would bark at strangers when they entered our house and once they were seated he would pirch himself on the closest piece of furniture to watch them. Scaring the "soft serve" out of more than one unwary visitor. Hands down the coolest pet that I have ever had!! However, the older he got the wilder he became..... and I told my wife that if he started to abuse the mounts in our house that we would have to release him back into the woods.... .... Well, one day I walked in the front door and he climbed about half way up the pedistal of my sheep mount! .......and that was when we made plans to reintroduce him to the wild where he belonged, far from humans. We released him and went back to the spot several times and I believe the lil' guy made it! And that is how squirrel hunting became forever banned in our household...... my Wife's rule. I am okay with though... never like squirrel meat that much anyhow. So here is my wife's pet squirrel, Nelson.

Nothing on line yet....... Hope today is the day!!!!!! Good luck all!

Sorry Linnea..... that is not a 22 bull. Colton is in town this week, so wave at the big green Tonto Hotshot buggies when they drive-by..... he will be in one of them.

Sunday morning Hunt'n Coues and I made a dash out into the field to reinstall my "bear cam" and check our two elk cams. We purposely set these up to get bull pictures for late season hunts.... I know that you guys want deer pics.... ... so I appologize in advance. Each pic is a different bull. There were many others but I just picked the better ones. We did get a few deer pics too... but nothing special.

I have not heard of any. I think Hunt'n Coues said that they post that kind of stuff on Wed. or Thurs.??? But, so far so good..... been a few showers in the high country and good humidity. Plan away!!

A friend of mine sent me these pics of a bull that keeps coming past his trail cam. I asked him if I could post it and he thought that was cool. Anyhow.... a dang nice bull IMO.... and they don't have bull tags.....

Love the dogs.... that Setter is a dandy! Great pics and story, thanks for sharing. CnS

That is cool! How hard is it to draw a tag up there? How is the quality of the bulls? I mean, are you expecting to get a monster or just a good quality bull? Congrats and good luck!! CnS

A date with one of GH's daughters???? Maybe a date.... (Period)! Bah HaHaHaHa!!!! JK Casey.... Dirk D.

Wow.......so far it looks like a rumor might actually NOT be a rumor I hope it's true! Best of luck to you guys! JIM> I second that!!! I am wishin' that all our friends here on CW.com are Blessed by the AZGF Gods with many, many tags!!!!!!!

Ya know that this kind of bashing only divides us further, making us easier targets for the Anti's..... ..... and I only have one response to m77.... Is a mt. lion "unethical" for laying in wait at a water source, a "salt lick", an oak tree or wild apple...... and so on?? Are coyotes or wolves "unethical" for hunting in numbers of two or more? ...... I think not. They have many tools that they use to ambush and kill prey..... tools that we do not..... but we have a tool that they don't.... a brain.... and just because someone is using their brain to harvest an animal does not make it "unethical". Having sat on trails, saddles, salt, and water to ambush and harvest game I can tell you that it is not really any easier than spot and stalk, IMO. However I choose to hunt on a particular day I must use my sharpest weapon, my brain, if I expect to out smart any of of the critters I love to eat. Fourpoint.... your salt buddy (Frazier) sounds very cool, as are many of the guys you will meet here on CW.com. You guys might make a good team. Frazier..... Dude...... WTF???? 6 1/2 hrs to get to where you hunt???? Come on.... exactly how many GREAT hunting spots with BIG bucks do you think you are driving past to get there???? Moral of the story.... hunt closer to home.... hunting is far more fun than driving....
