CouesWhitetail

Congratulations!! Funny how things work out so nicely sometimes. Great photos and wonderful buck. Amanda

Well said and nice buck. Email me the details so I can post it in the regular photogallery. Amanda

Congrats Terry! Send me the pic. Amanda

I like the liver and heart so I do regular field dressing. And of course, being a biologist, I am always interested in the inner workings of the deer. I check fat levels and cut the rumen open to see what they are eating. Can't do that without gutting the deer.... Like RR said, there is no gland you need to worry about. Perhaps you are thinking of javelina. They have a gland on their backs that you need to make sure you don't let touch the meat. But even that one comes off with regular skinning. Amanda

net mid-80's or less, I would guess. Like everyone said, he is a bit thin horned. Still a nice buck. Looks like good body size. Amanda

here is the pic:

Hope you have a great hunt. I love this time of year too! Can't stand it that I am in the office at home today instead of scouting! But I have to get some work done sometime! Going scouting tomorrow and Fri. Then turkey hunting for several days. Then helping a friend on a Coues hunt. Can't wait. Amanda

Great story Brian! I don't kill the snakes either. I think they are way cool. And thank god they rattle or I would be in a world of hurt. The only snakes I have seen out in the last week were gopher snakes (bull snakes some people call them). But if they are active, so are the rattlers. Amanda

Congrats Bret! that's a fine buck! And nice looking CouesWhitetail.com hat!!! Looks good on you! Man, I hate when it's hot during hunting season. I sure hope it cools off for Dec. Amanda

Nice work Scottyboy! Thanks for the pics and the details! Hope your knee heals ok. Amanda

I am really happy you guys were able to meet up!! I am sure RR and scottyboy and crew would have loved to have been there also. But I guess if you are gonna miss something like that it has to be because you are packing out a buck! Congrats to everyone. Amanda

Great buck Darren and thanks for sharing the story. As you know I am a bit behind on posting pics in the gallery, but I will get yours up. Thanks for emailing it to me. Amanda

Sound like some good-hearted mountain men! Amanda

Glad you had a great hunt and thanks to Brian for being a great CouesWhitetail.com ambassador!! Amanda

Bummer, I sure hope my gun never does that. It would scare the crap out of me. Good reminder to always point your muzzle in a safe direction! Dodger, I can see why 32 seems like bad karma to you! That's a bunch of bad luck! I had a bad flat in 32 once and couldn't get the tire off myself due to stripped lugnuts. I waited for quite awhile and then some nice guys came by. It took us a very long time to get it off. I can't remember what eventually worked, but we tried every tool and wrench we each had. Thank God those guys stopped to help. Amanda

Wow, great buck!! Tommy, email me the hunter's name and such and I can post the photos in the NM gallery. Amanda

Congratulations Audra!!!! Way to hang in there and hunt hard! What a great story and thanks for sharing it will all those beautiful pics! Danny, email me some larger pics of the last few so I can post her pic with her buck in the photogallery. Amanda

Great story and nice buck! It is always great to have a hunting partner who hunts the same as you do. Amanda

Sorry to hear you are leaving GMM. I don't know exactly which posts you are concerned about. Seems to me the thread on illegals is about the only political post going on and it does have to do with hunting, although that thread certainly touched on other issues related to illegal immigration. Have their been many other political threads lately? Maybe I missed them while I was on vacation? I suggest if anyone sees a lack of threads that interest you, then start a new topic and get a discussion going about something you want discussed that relates to Coues deer hunting. And as always, you can report posts that you think are inappropriate to me and the moderators. I hope you would reconsider leaving GMM. Some of your posts were extremely informative about Coues Deer hunting. Amanda

Great bucks Dan and very nice photos. Thanks for posting them. If you want to email me more details on the hunters and such, I can post them in the San Carlos photogallery. I have a SC turkey tag starting this weekend. I can't wait! Amanda

The email you sent says it's illegal to carry a firearm/handgun during an archery hunt. But there is something in the email about a proposed rule change which would make it legal. Since I don't know the source of the email I didn't want to post it here. Seems pretty clear that it is currently illegal to carry a handgun on an archery hunt. Amanda

Hey 111, If you see my maroon jeep cherokee with CouesWhitetail.com sticker on the back window, chase me down and say howdy. Amanda

Hi guys, I know there have been lots of database errors in the last few weeks and several again this morning. I am working with tech support to get this resolved. So far the fixes they give me don't seem to do more than get me through the problem for a short time. I am hoping we will find a final solution soon. However, I leave to help on a kaibab hunt tomorrow a.m. and so it may have to wait again for another week. But I have been working on it for a few days and hopefully I will get more answers today. Sorry for the invconvenience. You can help by emailing me when you get an error. Email the entire error message. Just copy and paste it into an email to me. Amanda

I will be going for 100 inch or better. But a couple years ago I held out for that and came home empty handed. I want some meat in the freezer, so if I can't find a big boy, I will shoot a smaller one. I would really love to get a non-typical buck, so anything unusual looking might get me to pull the trigger. Amanda

Stanley can help with the database errors while I am gone. But you can email me as well. Amanda
