coues addict Report post Posted October 10, 2004 (edited) Hey guys Now that CHD and Lark are done with that record book withdrawal thing I was thinkin. Why couldn`t we start our own record book! I mean why the heck not! We could have all the awesome pictures that we all send in and no hunters names! But we could name the deer! Like four mile from the road buck, or That huge canyon way the he_ _ over there buck, or My shot from the side of the road but legal buck, or maybe my little meat buck,or I sawed two points off his rack buck!. Entry would be free yes free and those Boone and Crockett guys just kiss our A_ _ ess. I think it would be really cool. Anyone game!!!!!!!!!!

.270 Report post Posted October 11, 2004 i won't enter anything in it, in protest. don't know in protest o' what, but i'll think o' somethin'. besides, if it has a minimum score above 60, i'll hafta get another deer. only good coues i ever got i broke the skull plate on last spring. actually, i'm funnin'. this is a cool idear. i record book that is actually a "record" book. a record of the deer that folks on this site have taken. not a "record" in the sense of world records or in the sense of bragging. just a record of this neat little deer. a journal. oh yeah, i personally have no problem with a guy having his name next to his buck. in fact, feel it is important. my main beef with how b&c keeps records is that they won't enter an animal taken illegally and seem to have their own sense of truth. it deserves to be in the book, just don't enter the jerks name that shot it. i think you guys are on to something. good thinkin'. best run it by cwd, tho. i'm sure he'll think of somethin' negative about it.

firstcoueswas80 Report post Posted October 12, 2004 i second voting for Amanda. what about being printed should the book be printed after each year of hunting? casey Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gnoto Report post Posted October 14, 2004 we should do it every year. Maybe an online version here Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gnoto Report post Posted October 14, 2004 How about brreaking it down by season fall winter something like that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CouesWhitetail Report post Posted October 14, 2004 Maybe an online version would be good. I don't have time to be publishing a hard copy recordbook and I don't really see why we would need one since there are already several of them that cover Coues (Boone and Crockett, Pope and Young, and the AZ state recordbook). But online would be something that isn't really out there yet and would be easier to keep up to date. And I think it would be very interesting to break it up by season, that is something that the other books don't do and we all know bucks vary in vulnerability based on time of year and that the hunting tactics change for the time of year. Archery hunting in the summer is so different than in January. Might even be interesting to separate out the Mexico bucks from AZ and NM. Amanda Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
COUESAZ Report post Posted October 14, 2004 I know we can start it with mine. So then I can say my buck used to be number one in the online record book pf Arizona.Yes that does sound good right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mattule Report post Posted October 15, 2004 I got a buck in 1999 that had to score at least 12 or 13 inches but that sucker still makes my prouder than one of those fightin' cocks. First big game animal I ever took, only took me 5 days to find that one, as I didn't have no forum to go to for advise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arizonabowhunter Report post Posted October 16, 2004 Yeah, this sounds like a great idea Amanda, separating the summer hunts from the winter hunts and the different states. I have a few friends who would be interested in this. Please keep me posted!!! Arizonabowhunter Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gnoto Report post Posted October 18, 2004 Ok basic form We should probably start with this Falls Hunt. Maybe later we can do a past bucks online book. Lets start with AZ, NM and if everybody agrees Mexico should be included but seperated. Guided or not the Coues did'nt have a choice and its about the deer so we should include all. Fall Winter Spring Summer We can add definitions to kill type. Archery Rifle Muzzleloader Basic Entry: Deer Name optional Season Kill Type Description Score Weight Commentary: Time of Day, terrain, hunt story.

azcouesandelk Report post Posted October 18, 2004 That sounds great now I can only hope that I can get my deer this year to enter it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
