870 is a great starter! Still Other options to improve and upgrade to later but he will be able to get confidence and won't feel like he has a POS either.

I'm Biased of course, but I do hear a lot of similar complaints about BPS but that's not unusual I guess. I see their ads pop out and they often appear to have very limited amounts of the items on hand. Big Box Management can be good for a Big box store like that, but the bottom line is the folks dealing with the customers have to care about doing it. Like the song says..... "Do what you do do well" and everyone will be happy. BPS has a ways to go and bad feelings to overcome. There are options for customers, which is a good thing for me.

Won't be long till the CA loony anti's figure out a way to show how much damage people themselves are doing to the precious condor's range and then habitation of CA will be for the birds for real instead of figuratively as it is now.

I saw 3 boxes of Wby 300 mag brand 180 gr at cabelas last week. 27.00.... yes that is right!

Looks to me like you have a nearly 300" coues mount there! Nice SSSHHHHHH Don't tell anyone it is a 3 on one, and you'll get some definite questions!

AWESOME ram and a great story of friends helping friends do some truly special hunting! That thing looks like it was on stearoids!

Rain here in Wy too. Cept it's the Freezing kind. First time I ever had to deal with that and it is not fun! I see why there is very little traffic on the roads when that happens! Enjoy the rain in AZ...

22.250 was what I first thought too, but had some interest in the .17hmr. Just do not know anyone with one or what make to compare.

I like the idea too Amanda! What about putting it on an inflatable seat cushion. I have one that is heavy duty and rolls up tight for packing easy. Add air and it can be as soft or firm as you need it for the terrain. Also use the kneeling pads for gardening as they are durable foam and have no outer cover needed.

Her name is Whisper!

As Amanda said, feel free to use my recipe, although no venison in my freezer this year to go with it. NEXT YEAR I have BIG plans though.... :D :

Casey Showing everyone the proof of your gun's accuracy just adds pressure. With your recent involvement with so many hunts, One might think you are immune to it, but just in case.... Better Make sure you take some valium to ward off that "buck fever". Good luck!

Happy thanksgiving to everyone from Wyoming as well. We decided to pack up the family and go to town for dinner today, so no cooks in our kitchen. :lol: After a bit more snow last night, to supplement the several inches from Tuesday, we are Hoping the roads stay clear and restaurants are not busy. Got Down to +4 last night and only 30 or so for a high the next couple days. The weather Sure ain't the same as AZ for this time of year but it does have it's own rewards!

500 yards is a heck of a shot for a heck of a buck Congratulations. What gun / scope / bullet were you shooting?

Congratulations on what sounds like a great hunt and what looks like a great buck Amanda. IF you need someone to take your "trash" away , just let me know....

Super ! The family that hunts together.... HUNTS TOGETHER....

congratualtions on a nice first buck. I wish I had a tag there this year. Telling my co workers that I am going to miss the Dec hunts for Coues. They are trying to get me into black powder so I can hunt some NE COOOOLD deer. Goose hunting also sounds like Coues hunting they say... Oh well, great story and success.

Ya know, I understand what you are complaining about. The AGFD is obviously working on the stated goals of "Creating More Opportunity". The needs of the Many outweigh the needs or wants of just one. If we put in on the AGFD draw, we have to follow their rules. Sounds like AGFD commissioners will be supporting sHrillary with a plan like that! Individual rights are not important. Just take care of the "big Picture" and to he77 with the individual.

Obviously a hybrid :lol: Or maybe someone has been spiking the salt lick with viagra?

Missed you by that much....

Great Buck! Lots of mass and character on that knarly looking headgear! (behind it too!)

Interesting story. Think of the non military uses once it is adapted to personell (Which I heard it has been)Invisibility! The ultimate Camo

Welcome to the group from the land of "lurkers". I think what you have are great guns for coues. Personally I have a 300Win Mag as my choice. I chose it about 15 yrs ago because. This caliber is one of the flattest and longest shooting standard calibers with many options for factory loads if you do not reload your own. You can get the right combo for about any north american game for the 300 win mag. In the right hands, with practice it can reach out 800 yards or more and still have enough energy to be effective and accurate. No arguments with your 270WSM, just preference.

Weird... Are you sure you weren't playing pin the tail on the muley? I have seen similar deer down south not far from safford, but the official word was it could not be a hybrid. The 2 deer do not interbreed so they said. Then the publication followed that up with the scenario. saying if it did happen, that the offspring would be sterile. like a mule is. These are the same experts that believe in evolution. Maybe the start of a new subspecies!

Very nice buck and story. Congratulations. Did your boss take some credit for the kill since he let you off early?
