Julie definitely has a nice life, although she is currently healing up a 3/4 inch diameter hole in her shoulder from hitting something (barbed wire fence I think) while chasing a rabbit full speed. It amazes me she doesn't come home with broken bones everytime we go out. She goes full speed through everything! Catclaw thickets...cliffs....barbed wire fences....she is a force of nature! Lucky for me she slept with her hurt shoulder down in the pic of her sleeping or you guys would think I abuse the poor girl! Amanda

Bryan, I took these on the way out the other day. Thought you might enjoy. Amanda

Wow, Casey that is rough! Prayers go out to their families for strength to endure. Amanda

yes....here is a link to how the NWTF calculates scores: http://www.nwtf.org/all_about_turkeys/turkey_score.html I think SCI doesn't include weight in the score, but I could be wrong. Amanda

here is a link to a little video, it's after she is already pretty worn out from the hike and playing earlier, so the leaps aren't nearly as big, but still you can get an idea: http://www.coueswhitetail.com/video_clips/...e_snowballs.wmv

Glad you liked the pics! And lucky for me, I didn't get stuck! Amanda

They have pricing info on their website, here is the link to the turkey hunt page: http://www.mexafari.com/goulds_turkey_hunts.html Amanda

Awesome!! Good to hear! Amanda

Awesome!! Thanks for sharing your story and pics Chris!! Nice shirt!! Maybe you need to get a CouesWhitetail.com shirt if that one ever wears out Amanda

Wow! Excellent write-up and photos! Can't wait to see Alberto's buck! Welcome! Amanda

Usually blank pics are from plants blowing in the wind or fast moving critters (birds, squirrels, bats, etc). You can use a program like photoshop elements or perhaps even MS Paint to change the light. You can then brighten dark areas to see if there is an animal or not. Doesn't always make it a great pic, but you can usually tell what it was. I agree these cams are fun and addicting! Just went and checked some of my own cams today. Amanda

Thanks Jim!! Amanda

Awesome!! Thanks for your write-up. Great bucks, and love the stuck in the mud pic. I also was thinking of Coues Sniper's quest for a 100" 2 point while hunting in Mexico. I think I found a perfect ranch for your quest Coues Sniper, we saw a ton of 2 points and some pushing 100. But they didn't have the character of Bases!! Amanda

cuz I am stupid...... I didn't think of it until just now. I better go add them. Amanda

here is a Sage/Brandy breakfast sausage I make: 4 lbs meat (again usually 50-50 pork butt to game meat) 1 TBS sugar 1 TBS salt 1 TBS paprika 2 TBS red pepper 2 TBS sage (sometimes I use more) 2 TBS thyme (sometimes I don't have and it's fine if you skip it) 1/2 tsp allspice (definitely adds complexity to the flavors) 2/3 cup brandy (or water)

here is what I do for an Italian Sweet Fennel sausage. Husband LOVES it, as do I! 4lbs meat - I do 50% or less pork butt mixed with 50% game meat 1/2 cup dry wine (optional, can use water if you like) 4 cloves garlic - minced (can use more if you like) 2 TBS fennel seeds (I use 4 TBS!!, but do it to your liking) 1 TBS fresh ground pepper 4 tsp salt 1 tsp dried oregano (I usually use alot more) 1/8 tsp ground allspice (this adds a neat flavor)

Great bucks and looks like an oustanding bunch of bucks on the wall too!! Amanda

Congratulations Jeff!! How about a pic of you accepting the award?? Amanda

Awesome!! love the story and great bucks!! Amanda

I asked Jim Heffelfinger and he said he has measured hundreds of hooves of both WT and MD, but hasn't analyzed the data. He may be able to get us a graph of the data to show. Amanda

Post pics! Sounds cool! Amanda

Wow, great buck!! Amanda

Outstanding!! Love the sticker pic and all the smiles!! Congratulations on your fine buck! Amanda

Awesome!! I love these "year in review" posts. Lots of great memories!! Amanda

Real rack goes with real cape. Replicas can use other capes. Why do it any other way? and of course, I recommend you give one of the replicas to CouesWhitetail.com Amanda
