Photo of Your Very First Coues
lancetkenyon replied to Red Rabbit's topic in Coues Deer Hunting in Arizona
My first, and ONLY Coues deer. I am a muley hunter. Applied for the wrong number and drew a Coues tag back a long time ago. 2001 or 2002 I think. Being a Mule deer hunter, I had no clue what a Coues was supposed to look like. I saw this buck for 5 days and passed on him hoping for something big. On my last day to hunt, he was the biggest I had seen, so I hiked out and popped him. I was quite disappointed at how small he was. If I had only known then what I know now....and if I would have had the money to get a shoulder mount..... -
X-Caliber are OK. About like Douglas or Shaw. I have seen a few that were just fine for accuracy. I would not be afraid to use one. Carbon Six are great barrels. I have seen a bunch, and they are fantastic. More money for sure, but comparing apples to oranges.

Same, but I applied on my computer. Maybe because I used my customer ID and it had me on file?

With all the rain we have gotten this year, I have seen huge burns from last year as green as a golf course. Should be a great year.

I anneal every firing. Keeps brass necks consistent.

Do an all-day trip. Half day trips are not worth it. We booked a smaller private boat, like a 35' I think, and it was amazing. Scored a couple blue Marlin, a 188 and 390#. Not toads, but plenty big for me and an 11-year-old daughter to fight for an hour each. Plus, the captain called a local restaurant from the boat, and they met us at the dock, and bought the fish. The captain split it with us, and that paid for half our day!

WHICH NX8? The 2.5-20x50 will have a VERY hard time fitting on a LA without being mounted either very high or very far forward. The 4-32x50 won't have that problem. As for Rings, my first choice is the American Rifle Co. M-Brace/M10 rings. Second is Seekins or Hawkins. Flip a coin.

Imagine paying $350K to shoot a mule deer. Or $450K to shoot an elk. A world or state record, or top 10 B&C is worth $19K if you have the cabbage to spend.....which I don't.

But you still have to apply for the special hunts. "Apply" and "Application" verbiage is used extensively on the photo in the first post. Like the Lotto says, "You can't win if you don't play".
-
"App" stands for "Application". You have to APPLY for this draw, just like the other draws.

Wanna bet Mike Gallo is winning this bid? Did you see the buck he dropped in NM on Monday? Giant again.
-
All you that are complaining better not totally turn hypocritical and apply for these tags. I know I will be applying for 10 of them.

I use Discount exclusively. At my local store by my house, 4 different employees know me by name. When my wife had to take her 4Runner down, they greeted her as "Mrs. Lance" at the door just by seeing the vehicle drive in. I have about 20-25 vehicles and 11 trailers on my profile. Will have 9 new ones going on there this year too, as we just upgraded our fleet at work.

More than likely: You have a total of 15MIL of elevation adjustment total. Centered in the adjustment range, that means 7.5MIL up and 7.5MIL down. Depending on your rifle, mounts, and zero yardage, this will vary. If you used 1.9MIL to zero, that would only leave you...5.6MIL of available adjustment left to dial. Not knowing your set up, you could possibly put a 20MOA/5.8MIL rail or rings, and gain some of your available elevation adjustment back, doubling what adjustment you have now.

So sorry to hear. I couldn't imagine.
-
Hmmm......just bought about everything for a new 25CM......some SRPs....... Great price in today's market.
-
Are these the same ones in the other ad on here from February? Or an additional pair?
-
This right here. Solid guy, honest.
-
Have any photos of it? With a dated paper and screen name? Don't mean to sound hesitant, but lots of scammers nowadays.
-
Actually paid $65, not $70. PM returned
-
I have 1# for sale. What I paid, $70. Located north central Phoenix area, near Sportsman's Warehouse Phoenix.
-
Good price.
-
Really hard to tell. Probably 100fps or so. I would personally not do load development without a chronograph however. A lot of info to be had when using one, not just velocity. ES, SD, and flat spots in charge weight changes.

I have the opportunity to harvest 4 Coues deer this year
