COOSEFAN Report post Posted February 5, 2007 Well.......like many others, my name is fairly self-explanatory. I KNOW the CORRECT way to pronounce it is "COWS whitetail", but it just gets under my skin when I hear someone say "COWS whitetail"! So.....that explains the COOSE part and as many have already figured out over the last couple of years.....I am a "FAN" of the "COOSE"! JIM> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Outdoor Writer Report post Posted February 6, 2007 I guess mine is self-explanatory. Been doing it full-time now for the last 23 years and part-time for 16 years earlier. And I've been lucky to get the same handle on most of the sites I have joined. -TONY Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
desertsheep Report post Posted February 7, 2007 I guess mine is pretty easy to figure out also. I was lucky enough to take my desertsheep in 2000 and now have a Dall sheep hunt booked for Aug of this year. Now I dont how I'm going to that stone and rocky.

couesdiehard Report post Posted February 9, 2007 Well it's pretty self-explanatory but I am an AZ native and grew up hunting desert mulies. I was in my late 20's before I was introduced to Coues deer hunting done right by a buddy from work, azyoung, coyoung, and a whole camp of hard hunting crazies and I just new this was the best hunting in the world. I was trying different names that summed up how I felt about hunting these little grey ghosts and how I plot and plan about 9 months of the year to hunt them. Then I remembered a conversation with one of my uncles who I used to hunt mulies with and he said, You're a real Coues die-hard now, you don't even hunt mule-deer anymore. And as they say, the rest is history. Lee Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

couesdiehard Report post Posted February 11, 2007 azyoung, A combination of things have kept me away from the site. For one we have a new network for our computers at work so they watch everything we do now (Damned government workers!). Secondly I hunted the last 15 days of Dec without seeing anything bigger than small 3-points. Lastly, my darn computer is screwed up and I have been trying to make it right for month now. By the way Jeff, great picture of Riley and his latest deer on the other post. Did I post the photo of my wife and her muley? I don't remember. Anyway it is good to be back.

fatfootdoc Report post Posted February 21, 2007 Well about the time I started visiting this site, I was at the Gym thinking how I was the Phattest foot and ankle surgeon in all of the vast metropolis of Silver City NM. Well it was early morning and I was working the back and bi's and I had my weight belt on good and tight and I strutted over to grab a 10 lb dumbbell to do one arm rows and happened to pass in front of the macho mirror(to watch your muscles get pumped as you work out), so I had to stop and bust some flex in the mirror and admire my full length spandex work out pants(padded in all the right areas) and then I realized that with my weight belt nice and tight like that around my finely honed abdominal keg(no six pack here guys!!), I looked like someone squeezing a marshmallow as tight as they could around the middle, or actually more like someone pinching dough while making rolls , Then I realized that I had earned the title of FATFOOTDOC what do you expect from a 238 lb 5ft 10 in doughboy!! So there you have it. AG Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Foundry Man Report post Posted February 21, 2007 I have been scoping out this site almost every day for a while now, and I decided to finally chime in. My name is Jason Lewis, and I live in Silver City, New Mexico. I am a funeral Director. I started an art degree before I went to mortuary school. Well, I am back in college now to finish my art dergree, which leads me to my handle, "Foundry Man", I am a sculptor, and do wild life and western bronzes. WNMU has a good art program with a working bronze foundry. Thats why I'm in Silver. I was raised in Arizona, and I freaking love coues deer. I hope I can find some good spots over here in NM. My wife is from Safford, AZ, so we are there alot (too much ) But, at least I get to prowl around all the good tail' country over there. Anyway, that's me.
