Great bull and awesome video!! Wow, thanks for sharing that with us! Nice job cameraman!

What does your brother's wife want for her hunt? Is she going to be happy with the 380? Is she going to be upset if she holds out for a 400 and goes home empty handed? You could always shoot one of the broken ex-400 bulls and just have a taxidermist fix the broken tines.

I see they listed Steven Ward of Wards Outfitters as a prostaffer for ghost blind. Maybe we can find out what he thinks of them. He is elk hunting now, but I will send him a txt and ask about it.

Very nice! Thanks for sharing your hunt! Where is the pic of Woody's bull?

WoW!! Great elk! You gotta give us some more details of the hunt!!

no, but pm me your address and I can put them in the mail to you today.

Very nice! If you like I can add it to the hunting poems section on CW.com....if you would like that, send me an email with your full name so I can credit you properly. Amanda@coueswhitetail.com

The chargers are just the standard chargers for the Casio Gzone. I will wait for Dave to get back to me on what he finds out about it fitting the Rock. and yes, you can see the battery level on the Covert 2 on the remote. Look for the battery indicator light near the top of the remote display when the cam is turned on. You can email me with any followup questions: amanda@coueswhitetail.com

I don't know if it fits the Rock or not. Maybe you could call Verizon or Casio and ask them? I would assume it would fit it, but I don't know for sure. The chargers I have were for my orange Casio Gzone. Let me know what you find out.

Nice! Hunt details?

Very nice!

My husband and I went picking prickly pear fruits again yesterday and found this heart-shaped pear! What are the odds of this happening and what are the odds that I would find it? I thought it was very cool. So here is a heart to share with all of you!

Steven Ward of Ward's Outfitters (longtime sponsor of CouesWhitetail.com) asked me to post this video and see if you guys can guess a score. I would like to make a contest out of it but not sure how we can do it since the buck is still growing. But it's likely someone will kill this buck this year and so we will eventually know the real score. How about we have you make two guesses.... 1. What it scores right now (in the video) 2. What it will score when it gets killed.. this could be during archery season, or during the rifle seasons (hard horned). Of course it may never get killed either. But just guess what it will score when it gets killed. So this contest has an element of skill (guessing the score) and an element of luck (guessing if it will get killed in velvet or hard horned). Guesses need to be in by Sept 15, 5 pm. I will post the answer if the buck gets killed. If not, well then you are just out of luck. What do you think? Video 1

Daniel sent this in for me to post. He used the Rusty Ulmer broadhead on this deer. Rusty says his new broadhead won't be available for sale until Spring/Summer 2011. Looks like it's killing plenty of animals in the meantime though.... Craig Blackburn and I just recently returned from an archery hunt in Southern Utah. Both our bucks were shot using Rusty Ulmers new Ulmer BroadHead. The broadhead performed perfect. Both shots were a clean pass-through. Craigs shot his big 2 point at 35 yards and died in seconds. I shot my buck at 96 yards and still got a complete pass-through after hitting a rib on the entrance side. After a short death run my buck expired in just minutes as well. I can honestly say that the Ulmer Head is the first broadhead Ive shot that really does fly just like a field tip even out to 96 yards. My buck ended up with a green gross score of 193 3/8" PnY.

Cool!! Thanks for posting that.

I don't know for sure, but how many 7x2's can there be? You can PM Lance about it when he gets back from his hunts.

That's a fabulous lion mount! Congratulations! Jim does some awesome work and he is a member here as well.

Congratulations!! Those are some fine bucks

DevilinCatCountry asked me to post this for him. here is the story from him: I went up this weekend to help "hunt4horns" on his bull elk hunt. We were running into a lot of bulls, nothing too big, the elk were bugling but the rut hasn't kicked in yet. Anyway we were sitting down for lunch on this hill side, and about 300 yrds out i see something bobbing and weaving out of the tree line. It was making a beeline right at us. I reached for my camera but it was at the bottom of my pack, so instead i grabbed my phone. Sorry for the quality but not the best phone.. This little fella was on a mission what it was i dont know!! It was an uneasy feeling having him run straight to you, all the time your wondering is mama!!! We stayed there about an hour after the cub passed us and still no sign of mama! Don't know how long this little guy has been running lost, or looking for mama. At that size i don't think he will last long.. and here is the link to the video:

awesome, looking forward to the story!

Thanks Doug for continuing to provide some great gear as prizes for our members!

cool!! Post some more pics please! You can't hardly see much about that buck in the 2nd photo.

Very nice Allen!! Congratulations!

Thanks for all the great info Trent!
